Mr. Hays said the particular area of the tracks calls for extra careful driving because there is always danger of losing control of a car even at a low rate of speed. He said the accused had a duty to his two passengers, James O'Neil, Centralia, and Leslie Jesney, Cr edito n, to drive with extra caution at this point. Both passengers were injured in the mishap.
