Accident:
Crash Which Killed 2 Is Investigated
Lyman Mallary and Wife are Victims of Pike Tragedy
Investigation was continuing today into the circumstances of a car collision on the Kansas Turnpike Thursday afternoon in which two Emporians, Mr. and Mrs. Lyman D. Mallary, 514 Sunnyslope St., were killed and six other persons injured.
Under study today was the possibility of an autopsy on Mr. Mallary to determine if he had a "blackout" before the 1959 Studebaker car he was driving struck the rear of a slow-moving 1954 Buick, occupied by two soldiers on the turnpike approximately 12 miles northeast of Emporia about 3:15 p.m. Thanksgiving Day.
Under treatment at the Newman Memorial County Hospital are four passengers in the Mallary car which was bound for Topeka, where they were to spend Thanksgiving evening with friends.
Severely injured and still in a critical condition this morning, according to the attending physician, is the Mallary's son-in-law, Robert W. McCandless of Scott City, formerly of Lebo. He sustained a head injury, fractures of both legs, and internal injuries. His wife, the former Treva Mallary, 36, who suffered severe head lacerations and possible back and pelvis fractures, was reported by her physician to be in fair condition at 10:30 a. m. today. Also sustaining leg fractures and lacerations were the two McCandless children, Mark, 8, and Kim, five years old.
The two soldiers, Donald B. Frost, 26, of Topeka, the driver, and Carl L. Logan, Deer Creek, Okla., sustained minor lacerations and bruises and were treated and released from the hospital this morning.
Both of the cars were northbound. According to the Highway Patrol, the soldiers, enroute from Fort Sam Houston, Tex., to Fort Dix, N. J., reported their car was slowing down because of engine trouble, and that it was hit squarely in the rear by the Mallary car. The soldiers previously had stopped at the Emporia service area of the Turnpike for some mechanical work on the car.
The Highway Patrol added that there was no evidence of skid or braking marks of the Mallary car wheels. The investigating patrolmen also reported the Mr. McCandless and his small son were riding in the front seat with Mr. Mallary and that Mrs. Mallary, who was thrown out of the car to the pavement, was in the rear seat with her daughter, Mrs. McCandless, and granddaughter, Kim.
The accident occurred on an open and level stretch of the turnpike near milepost 98, the officers report. Both cars were said to have been damaged beyond feasible repair.
The investigating patrolmen listed Capt. Clarence L. Shivers, of the Air Corps, Omaha, Neb., as a witness to the accident. He was traveling the opposite direction, about 200 yards away at the moment of the collision.
Obituary information on Mr. and Mrs. Mallary is not available, pending the arrival of their daughter, Mrs. C. W. Koefald, from San Francisco late today. Funeral arrangements are incompleted.
Switchman 43 years
Mr. Mallary, one of the best (p. 8) known Santa Fe employes (sic) in Emporia and around the "levee" and Santa Fe Station, has been a switchman in the Emporia yards or on the division here 43 years. He once was a wrestling instructor in the Physical Education Department, Emporia State College. Best known to many Emporians and his co-railroad workers under the nickname "Pin," Mr. Mallary had been a referee for many wrestling matches. He is a former member of the Emporia Zoning Appeals Board. His daughter, Mrs. McCandless, is a former Gazette employe (sic).
Death of the Mallarys increased the automotive fatalities in Lyon County to 13 so far in 1961.

Also sustaining leg fractures and lacerations were the two McCandless children, Mark, 8, and Kim, five years old.
The two soldiers, Donald B. Frost, 26, of Topeka, the driver, and Carl L. Logan, Deer Creek, Okla., sustained minor lacerations and bruises and were treated and released from the hospital this morning.
Both of the cars were northbound. According to the Highway Patrol, the soldiers, enroute from Fort Sam Houston, Tex., to Fort Dix, N. J., reported their car was slowing down because of engine trouble, and that it was hit squarely in the rear by the Mallary car. The soldiers previously had stopped at the Emporia service area of the Turnpike for some mechanical work on the car.
The Highway Patrol added that there was no evidence of skid or braking marks of the Mallary car wheels. The investigating patrolmen also reported the Mr. McCandless and his small son were riding in the front seat with Mr. Mallary and that Mrs. Mallary, who was thrown out of the car to the pavement, was in the rear seat with her daughter, Mrs. McCandless, and granddaughter, Kim.
The accident occurred on an open and level stretch of the turnpike near milepost 98, the officers report. Both cars were said to have been damaged beyond feasible repair.
The investigating patrolmen listed Capt. Clarence L. Shivers, of the Air Corps, Omaha, Neb., as a witness to the accident. He was traveling the opposite direction, about 200 yards away at the moment of the collision.
Obituary information on Mr. and Mrs. Mallary is not available, pending the arrival of their daughter, Mrs. C. W. Koefald, from San Francisco late today. Funeral arrangements are incompleted.

Further improved conditions were reported today for all four members of the Robert McCandless family who were passengers in the car in which Mr. and Mrs. Lyman D. Mallary were killed on the turnpike a week ago.
Mark McCandless, 8, underwent an operation this morning at the Newman Memorial County Hospital for a fractured left leg and his broken right leg is in traction. His sister, Kim, 5, who sustained a right leg fracture and minor head injuries, is well on the way to recovery.
Much improved, a physician reported, is the condition of Mrs. McCandless, the former Treva Mallary of Emporia. In the crash she sustained a severe head laceration, a concussion, a cracked pelvis and a fractured hip.
Mrs. McCandless, the most severely injured person, has made marked improvement the past few days. He suffered a serious head laceration, a concussion, a fractured leg, a broken hip and sustained a heavy loss of blood before he was removed from the wreckage.
Early this fall Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCandless and family and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. W. McCandless, moved from Lebo to Scott City to operate a motel. His parents came here soon after they were notified of the accident.
