D.C. Tabb; WIFE AND BABY INJURED IN AUTO WRECK:
Chattanooga, Tenn. July 5, 1921 –
D.C. Tabb, who lives four miles east of LaFayette, Ga., his wife and a 2 year old baby were seriously, the man perhaps, fatally injured in an automobile accident at the corner of Missionary Avenue and the Rossville Boulevard shortly after 7 o’clock last night, when Tabb who was drinking drove his car squarely in front of a three and one-half ton White truck, driven by Robt. Orr, of the Orr Transfer Co. None of the occupants of the truck were hurt, although it was filled with a picnic party from the Daybreakers’ Club, of this city, returning from Cherokee springs, near Ringgold. The injured were picked up by a Mr. Eaves and rushed to the Physicians’ and Surgeons’ hospital, where up to a late hour last night, none of them had regained consciousness.
Tabb suffered severe cuts and bruises all over the body and limbs and is injured internally. His wife was cut about the head arms and body. The baby’s head is severely bruised. The occupants of the truck 28 in number, were considerably shaken up, and several of the ladies fainted.
When the wreck of Tabb’s car was examined after the collision, it was found to contain twelve one-gallon tin cans, which smelled very strongly of liquor. Tabb, according to hospital attendants was in a drunken condition when he was place under the anaesthetic at the hospital. He is known as a transporter of liquor to officers of Walker County and, is now under a $500 bond, following his arrest for transporting about six weeks ago. The sheriff of Walker County reported by phone last night, stated that Tabb had not yet been indicted in the case. Thursday morning Tabb was reported as slightly improved and Mrs. Tabb and baby was considered not seriously injured.

Tabb, of LaFayette, Ga., who has been at the Physicians and Surgeon’s Hospital since he received serious injuries in an automobile accident on the Rossville boulevard on the evening of July 4^th will not recover.
