Its parking space, that he heard
a scream and kob out to And the
Injured man, bub that he did
nob know whether lb was his
tottck which struck Jenkins. He

rived.
Meanvvhil^. an autopsy con
ducted yesterday Indicated that
Jenkins—who was not Identified
until several • hours after his
death—had died of a broken
back and Intomnl injuries. Po
lice said they did not think an
Inquest would bo necessary.
Bond' for young Jonoa was sot
at $1,000, and he was released
about 5 p. m. oiTlcers sold the

to authorities, that he had
started to move his truck from

sold he stopped, got out, and
saw the Injured man lying be
hind the truck. Then, he was
i quoted, the machine started to
roll forward and he got back
Into It and parked It remaining
nearby until police arrived.
One officer quoted Jones as
saying that his truck was heav
ily loaded and that he did not
"feel" It strike anything and
that consequently he could not
