Tells Of Rutledge Death Accompanying the body of Mortimer Rutledge who was accidentally killed in California last week was Henry Watson, also a former resident of Heath Springs, who told something of the death of Rutledge. He said that Rutledge with another young man and >girl were on their way to ittend a wedding when the fatal accident took place and that the car in which they were riding plunged down a 100 foot embankment into a stream twelve feet deep. The boy friend's body had not been found but the girl was able to swim out of the icy water.to shore. When picked up she was unconscious and was unable to give any details concerning the accident. The other young man's body had not been found when Henry Watson left California.
