Laurens, Sepi. 22.—Miss Irene Todd,
who was with Jeipme Gray, known to
his friends as J^siry, when the Gray
Court man was dvowned in Lake Mur
ray Saturday afternoon when bis ou^'
board motor bokt caught fire and blew
op in deep water, pieced togetber the
atoiy of the harrowing'e^;>erienoe to
day.
Mr. Gray it the ton of Mrs. Emma
Dial Gray and the late Robert L. Gray
and a nephew of former United Statee
Senator N. %.. Dial
Mitt Todd, of Barksdale, who wa«
itt-the boat t^h Mr. Gray, eecaped fay
swimming ashore after Gray had call
ed to her to save herself by jumping
into the water, ahe was quoted today
aa aaying after ahe had partially re
covered from shock and expoaura.
Opirdon it held that Orgy’s clothing
had become ignited aa he attempted to
fight back the blase and that he was
thrown into the lake by the explosion.
Mias Todd said ahe did not see him
again after he had ordered fates, to a^e
herself by disrobing and jumping over
board. She was taken to her home be
tween 8 and 9 o’clock Saturday night
by Jolm S. 'Harmon and one or two
other men from Laurens who had been
Hshing on the lake during the day,.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. Asa Todd of Barksdale and teaches
in the Hickory Tavern high school. Mr.
Harmon said that Miss Todd seemCd
unable to give a coherent account of
the tragedy until after her arrival
home, for the reason that she was so
terribly upset over the harrowing ex
perience she did not discuss the acci
dent very much oh the drive home.
After pi tinging into the water she
swam to a small island a few hundred
feet distant, she reported. There she
disrobed and swam to shore, a distance
estimated by Mr. Hannon at about 150
yards. Some time later she recovered
sufficiently from exhaustion to attract
the attention of two women *said to
be residents of Newberry. They hast
ened to her, used parf of their own
garments in making her aa comfort
able as poasible then gave the alarm.
The Laurens men were atpong the first
to reach the scene: After her Identity
had been established and she <had been
given first aid restoratives Mias Todd
was wrapped in dry fishermen’s doth-
ing, pla^ in the Harmon car and
driven home. She was reported ito be
reating fairly comfortahle today.
Parties from Gray Court, including
Gray’s kinsmen, hurried to the lake
Saturday night and i:emained~ there
until daylight this morning, assisting'
as best' they could in efforts to recov
er the body. Early this morning Frank
Dial,' H. D. Gray, and Albert Teague
of Laurens, joined Gray Court parties
at the lake for the pmrpose of making
further efforts toward recovering the
young man’s body, assisted- by offi-
cers-aad-jcores of persons from_New-
berry, Columbia and other points in
the area.
Mr. Gray was the youngest child of
the family. He received his education
in the Gray Court-Owings high school
and at Duke, university. Hf was a
likable and popular young man in/his
home town and in this , section of the
state. In recent y^rs he had been en
gaged in conducthig the businett af
fairs of his mother, ipcludiag the op
erating of several farms.
In addition to his mother, Mr. Gray
