   Traffic Death Case Continues

   The 15,400 damage suit brought by Michael Lebich of Porterfield, administrator of the estate of his son, Martin Lebich, against Raymond Roehl of Menominee, driver of a car which was involved in a crash with Lebich's motorcycle, an accident which resulted in Lebich's death, went into it's second day of trail here in Marinette Co. Court today with judge William F. Haase presiding.

In addition to the 15,400 damages asked for medical and hospitalalization expenses and losses of companionship and society, the plaintiff requests $150.00 damages for the motorcycle.

   Stipulations were effected on the amount of damage to the vehicle, medical and hospital expenses, and as to pain & suffering. Litigants agreed that the youth died without regaining consciousness and that no damages for the pain and suffering are involved.

Pleadings assert the accident occurred between 10:30 and 11:00 o'clock on the evening of Saturday, June 6, 1942, when Roehl's car and Lebich's motorcycle collided on highway US-41 three miles south of the Marinette City limits near the entrance to the Pete MacDonald tavern. With Roehl at the time was Edward Cook of Peshtigo. Riding on the tandem seat of Lebich's motorcycle was Miss Joyce Gamlin, 16, of 224 Bayshore Street who sustained minor injuries.

The accident occurred when Roehl was leaving the MacDonald tavern and was crossing highway US-41 to go north from the north end of the tavern's horseshoe shaped private driveway. Lebich was driving his motorcycle south on US-41 enroute to the Morning Star tavern when the two vehicles collided as  Roehl was cutting across 41 in a north easterly direction.

   Cramer told leaving Menominee with Lebich, and George Huebner of the town of Peshtigo, each driving a motorcycle with girls, bound for the Morning Star tavern and dance hall, near Peshtigo. Cramer  said he was about a half mile north of Lebich at the time of the crash, but did not see the accident. Huebner was following Cramer, Cramer testified.

   "I got a flash of a motorcycle skidding toward our car at terrific speed," Edward Cook testified today in stating that he was the first to reach Lebich following the crash. His testimony largely corroborated that given by Roehl yesterday.

   Others who took the stand were Joyce Gamlin, Margaret Lebich, Michael Lebich, and Clarence Rowe, Porterfield town chairman who was employed as a character witness, all for the plaintiff; and Sherriff Kohlman, Evelyn Sharon, Violet Conrad, and Edward Cook.
