lalBtii ieation Made CM Wwi im sitiv6 The Highway Patrol had taken' fingerprints -and other physical evidence in an effort to run them through FBI files for possible identification. The half-brother said that the general description given by Boyer was nearly perfect. He missed the age by only two years and the physical description was very close. Much of the description had to be estimated by Boyer Ibecause of the condition of the thbound vehicle tended to-blind him. He saw what he thought was a dead dog on the highway in the right lane, but it was too late to swerve and it was not until he was right on the subject before they realized it was a man.

Evidence at- the scene did not "indicate that Sikes was-driving at an excessive rate "of speed, nor did it indicate any manner of careless driving, the trooper stated. He described it as one of those unfortunate situations in which the driver was unable to avoid the tragedy. With reports going out through much of the region Thursday about the -unidentified victim, there were several who contacted the funeral home and the Highway Patrol about possible identification. It was not until the call from Poplar Bluff, however, that there was any significant lead as to Lingle's identity. The acting coroner Jjlfld Trooper Howard said there was no reason to challenge the statement of Sikes; which was verified by three passengers in his car.

They were enroute home from work at the Chevrolet plant-in St. Louis when' the accident happened at about 11 p.m. Wednesday night. Sikes hadjounded a turn and just'was -eoming out of a dip when the lights of a nor The likelihood of his haying been robbed'and'dumped" on -the-highway was also lessened by the fact that he did 'not carry a billfold or money but could not be Gom; pletelyruled out. Authorities said'there-are.

several possibilities, but it is now unlikely that it will be determined just what circumstances did lead to Lingle's being face down on the highway when run over by the car. Because of the emotional shogk of the experience and' the situation, Boyer said the man did not give much more information. and. he did not seek more as arrangements were to be made today. The name was-withheld until the parents could be notified in Poplar Bluff, "Boyer stated that a corner's jury has been empanelled and viewed the body, buf added that he was going to leave the decision of whether there would be an inquest up to the coroner.

He-was to return Positive identification was made Thursday afternoon of the man who was run over by a car while laying in the southbound lane of Highway 67 near Route north of Bonne Terre late Wednesday night. A half-brother made the identification of Fred Lingle 32, formerly of Poplar Bluff by viewing the body at the C. Z. Boyer and Sons Funeral Home in Bonne Terre. He said that Lingle has been working in St.

Louis and gave an address of a motel on Highway 66 in the St. Louis area.

School officials and forcement authorities have been seeing signs of what has been going on-or developing-for several years. The' more startled parents, those shocked mostly about talk of heroin and the indication that one jrf every five young people 12 through 19 have tried marijuana, is understandable to a degree. Still, one veteran of law enforcement stated that it is a shame that parents should be shocked' for they should be the first to notice signs of drug abuse.

The Reeves truck hit the car directly broadside on the right side of the vehicle, sending the car to the shoulder and the truck into the ditch.

Boyer stated that the man called and told where another tattoo might be found on the calf of one leg. A check of the corpse did reveal this before-unnoticed tattoo and almost certainly confirmed the identification, but the half-brother came to the funeral home to make it positive.
