Four persons were seriously injured in a head-on collision of two cars at the top of Cahuenga Pass.

Le Sueur's car collided with a machine driven by Mr. Earl J. Gose, 45, of 6952 Ethel Avenue, North Hollywood.

DEATH HELD ACCIDENTAL

Coroner’s Jury Absolves Joan Crawford Brother in Auto Fatality

Returning a verdict of accidental death in the case of Miss Grace Pauline Gose, 46 years of age, of 6952 Ethel Avenue, fatally injured last Saturday in an automobile collision, a Coroner's jury yesterday exonerated Hal Hayes Le Sueur, 32, of 1037 South Ridgley Drive, of blame for the crash.

Le Sueur, brother of Joan Crawford, film actress, testified at the inquest that he was driving on Cahuenga Pass last Saturday when his car collided with one driven by Mrs. Gose. He said he was driving near the center of the high-way when the Gose machine suddenly turned from behind another car and he was unable to avoid a collision.

Mrs. Golda Gose and her husband, Earl Gose, also injured in the crash, were unable to appear at the inquest.

Mrs. Grace Gose died last Tuesday at General Hospital as the result of her Injuries.

Le Sueur was accompanied to the inquest by his mother, Mrs. Le Sueur, and his divorced wife, Kasha Le Sueur, actress.

CASE NAMING ACTOR OPENS

Woman Carried Into Court on Stretcher to Testify Against Le Sueur

Doomed to crutches for the rest of her life—so she complains—Mrs. Golda Gose was taken yesterday into court on a hospital stretcher for prosecution of an $88,400 damage suit directed against Hal Le Sueur, screen actor and brother of Joan Crawford, film actress, and based on a motor crash.

From the stretcher, which was placed before the jury box to Superior Judge Baird's court, Mrs. Gose told the court that Le Sueur was driving on the wrong side of Cahuenga Boulevard on the evening of last November 8 when his machine collided head-on with the car in which she was riding with her husband, Earl L. Gose, North Hollywood barber.

HUSBAND ALSO HURT

Gose, who suffered a broken leg, asks $45,400 damages, while his wife, both of whose legs were broken and who says surgeons have advised her she probably never will walk again without the aid of crutches, demands $30,000. In addition, the couple seeks another $11,000 on the contention that they are no longer able to operate a chicken ranch.

Le Sueur not only denies responsibility for the accident, but in a cross-complaint for $10,000, charges that the crash came about through Case's negligent driving.

SISTER DIES

Gose's sister, Miss Grace Gose, suffered injuries in the accident from which she died three days later but the suit on trial does not include any claim for her death.

The trial will be resumed today.

Action Against Actor Dropped

An abrupt end was put to the trial of the $86,400 damage suit brought against Hal Le Sueur, actor and brother of Joan Crawford, screen actress, by Earl J. Gose, barber, and his wife, Golda, over a traffic crash when a settlement was  agreed upon.

The settlement, called for payment of $8500 to the Gose couple as compensation tor their injuries and also in consideration of the death of Gose’s sister, Miss Grace Gose. The accident, which the Goses complained had left them permanently crippled, occurred on Cahuenga Boulevard last November 9 when can driven by Gose and by Le Sueur collided head-on.

The trial was in progress before a jury in Superior Judge Baird’s court.
