Washington, Dec 12 - A man not fully identified but believed to have been Rev. J. H. Moore, former pastor of the Presbyterian church at Keyser, was found dead in a lodging house here today. The police believe death resulted from heart disease but are conducting a further investigation.
The above telegram was received here yesterday morning. Mr. Moore left here Wednesday on train No 14 for Washington, arriving there about ten o'clock. On going to his room he complained of not feeling well and about 11:30 o'clock was found dead in his bed. He had not been feeling well for some time, but no one thought there was any reason for alarm. Mr. Moore was about 64 years of age, and leaves a wife, three daughters and three sons. He was pastor of the Presbyterian church here for about fifteen years until, six years ago, when he resigned. For a time he was pastor of three different churches, but for the past couple of years he had no regular charge and stayed most of the time at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Griffith, his wife being in Baltimore. His children are at different places, all employed, but John, who is in school at Lexington. Mr. Griffith went to Washington yesterday morning to look after the remains. The burial will probably take place at the native home of the deceased at Charles Town.

During World War II, he served as a tank driver with the Army in Africa and Italy and was wounded in the chest.

Police Version of Accident- The accident occurred about 4:52 Sunday morning. The time was established by a broken watch on the wrist of Richard Moran. Trooper First Class, A. M. Sploch, of the Maryland State Police, who investigated, said that Gilmore, driving Moran's 1951 hardtop convertible, had just rounded a bend and apparently was confused by the headlights of another vehicle parked along Gilmore's side of the road. Apparently thinking the recently relocated road lay to the right of the headlights, Gilmore swerved off the road onto a gravel shoulder. By the time he realized hismistake, it was too late to stop. The car skidded several hundred feet, careened back to the road, and smashed against the front of the parked car. Four of the victims were thrown from the car with only Earl Kalbaugh and Richard Michael still in the back seat. Sploch said all of the dead except Charles Kalbaugh died instantly. Witnesses said Kalbaugh called for help then crawled under a fence at the George M. Barton farm and died of internal injuries. Dr. H. V. Deming, deputy county medical
examiner, said the others died of skull fractures, internal injuries and neck fractures.

James. F. Thompson,
the sixth occupant, was thrown from the vehicle and later was moved to Sacred Heart hospital, Cumberland, where he is recovering from his injuries.

George Morgan, about 47, of Carlos, was burned to death yesterday morning when fire engulfed a small building he occupied from time to time in that community. An autopsy was performed by the deputy county medical examiner and an investigation is being held by authorities. Aaron Winters, fire chief of the Shaft Volunteer Fire Company, said a call was received at 11:30 a. m., and when the firemen arrived on the scene, the building was engulfed in flames. Floyd Winebrenner and William Yates, both of Carlos, said they were in Winebrenner's Store nearby when they saw flames emitting from the building. They ran to the burning building, and when they opened the door, the intense heat forced them back. They saw the victim in the building but were unable to reach him. Mr. Yates had his eyebrows singed by the flames although neither of the men was burned. The gutted building is located a short distance from the home of the victim's mother, Mrs. Carrie Morgan, who is 83. The victim was reported to have stayed in the small building from time to time. He was a retired serviceman having served in the Army for 20 years and a member of Farrady Post 24, American Legion, Frostburg. The fire was first noticed by Mrs. Floyd Winebrenner Sr. who lives nearby. She saw smoke coming from the roof of the building and called the Shaft Fire Company which responded with two trucks and six men. Tfc. Robert C. Dishong, of the State Police, went to the scene. Besides his mother, the victim is survived by a son, Gary Morgan, Waldorf; six sisters, Miss Mary Morgan, Cumberland; Mrs. lola Conrad, Frostburg; Mrs. Louise Ravenscroft, Midland; Mrs. Gladys L.

"Thomas L. Morris Dies After Truck Plunges Into Dam-
A requiem high mass for Thomas Lanch Morris, 28, whose body was recovered from Savage River dam last Thursday, was celebrated Monday morning in St. Peter's Catholic church, Westernport. Rev. Linus E. Robinson, pastor, was celebrant of the mass. Interment was in Philos cemetery, Westernport, where military honors were accorded by members of Victory Post 155, American Legion. Pallbearers, all members of Victory Post, were Edgar Footen, Paul Kooken, Walter Grandstaff, William Kline, John Reckley and Frank Patrone. Morris, who resided in the Crab Tree Run section of Garrett county, was last seen about 11 p.m. on March 27 when he left the home of his father, Hugh Morris, of Westernport. When he failed to return to his home, his wife assumed that he was spending the night with his father with whom he had worked that day. The father became concerned Tuesday morning when his son did not report for work. Early Thursday morning, Harold Bittinger, caretaker at the control house of the Savage River dam, noticed a tire floating near the breast of the dam. A little later that morning, John Robert Martin, of Westernport, who was traveling along the Savage River road above the dam, noticed tire marks to the edge of the embankment and saw that trees down over the steep embankment had been skinned of their bark. Martin notified Bittinger and F. D. Glass, tender of the dam, who in turn contacted the Maryland State Police. Tfc. Milton G. Hart and Tfc. Bernard Chabot, who began the investigation, called William R. McDowell, 8 Jones street, Piedmont, who is a "scuba" diver. McDowell donned his diving equipment and entered the water of the dam. With the aid of a light, he located the body of Morris in his pickup truck about 30 feet below the surface of the water. After McDowell attached a line to the vehicle, it was pulled to the surface by a tow truck operated by the Reeves Motor company. The State Troopers stated that the truck had gone off the right side of the 24-foot roadway and plummeted about 110 feet down a steep embankment which borders the dam. An autopsy of Morris' body revealed the cause of death was asphyxiation and drowning. Authorities theorized that the victim died while attempting to escape from his submerged truck. Born in Westernport, Morris was the son of Hugh Morris and the late Mrs. Mary Eva (Bradley) Morris. He attended Bruce high school, Westernport, and was a veteran of service with the Army. In addition to his father, he is survived by his wife, Mrs. Doris (Wilt) Morris; four sisters, Mrs. John Everline, and Mrs. Howard Dunnivan, both of Westernport; Mrs. Joseph Harris, of Keyser, and Mrs. Michael Mihok, of Aliquippa, Pa. Also surviving are four brothers, Elmer, Richard, John and James Morris, all of Westernport."

Pathetic clrcumstances surround the injury near Hyndman yesterday morning of Harry M. Mosholder, a Connellsville division freight brakeman living here. Mr. Mosholder was struck by No. 48 at South Hampton and was so badly injured that his life was despaired of. He was taken to the Allegany hospital at Cumberland, but up to noon today, the family here had not heard whether the injuries proved fatal. Mr. Mosholder, about 22 years of age, was married about four years ago to Mrs. Cora Mosholder, the daughter of Chief of Police George Hetzel. Mrs. Mosholder was widowed by the death of Clarence Mosholder, her first husband and brother of Harry Mosholder, who was killed while at work on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Chief Hetzel and Mrs. Mosholder left last evening for Cumberland, but at the Hill street home of the Chief, no word had been received from them. On the streets this morning, it was reported that young Mosholder had succumbed to his injuries. The couple have three children.
