BARNES -- CARLTON -- PORCH -- PORTS

Suddenly five feet of roadway crumpled beneath the backing truck's wheels. the ponderous mass up-ended. There were screams - cut short by 32 tons of metal and concrete that crushed and entombed all four of the workers. Sam Carlton, 20, M.C. Porch, 25, and John Ports, 40, perished instantly, Alfred Barnes, 40, fought gamely for survival in the hardening cement as swarming medico rescue teams administered plasma and adrenalin into his exposed arm. Barnes died, still pinned down, three hours later. All the victims were Miami Negroes.
"You're gonna get me out, aren't you" Barnes kept asking while consciousness remained. "Sure we are," his foreman, Paul Adams, reassured him despite his knowledge that chances were slim.
Workers with pneumatic drills bore into the setting cement, but Barnes died still a prisoner under the truck. [Fort Pierce News-Tribune, 14 Dec 1956 - sub. by K.T.]
