It is not thought that Ray was driv-
ing fast as the machine did not clear
the embankment. Car tracks indicat-
ed that the driver had drowsed for a
moment as it was a distance of fifty-
yards from where the car left the
road to where it made the fatal
plunge. The victims were pinned in~
a sitting position and had evidently*
died from strangulation as there
were no broken bones discovered. Mr.
and Mrs. Ray were married four
months ago and have made their home
in Dalhart where Mr. Ray worked as
an auto mechanic. The man appeared
to be 28 years of age while his wife
appeared a few years younger. Th*
bodies were held here until FL Patter-
son of Memphis, and relatives identi-
fied and claimed them. They were
