The next day, September 23rd, Phil Lattman, Jr., 23, and son of the man killed on the 22nd, was killed when his car struck loose gravel and overturned. Phil was working for Union Carbide Co. at a plant about 30 miles from Riverton.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lattman presently live at Escandido, California.
