MOTOR SMASH
Journalist Killed
Mr. Jack Judd
As the result of a collision between a motor car and a lorry at an early hour this morning in Argyle-street, near the North Hobart Sports Ground, Mr. Jack Judd, a well known and popular journalist, was killed, and three other. men are in hospital, one in a critical condition. As Highway-patrol Constable Bryce and Constable Hales were proceeding up Argyle-street, a motor car passed them, travelling at a high rate of speed. When the oflicers reached the vicinity of the North Hobart Ground they found a seriously damaged motor car and lorry, which had been in collision. On the road three men were lying, one of them being Mr. Judd, who died almost 'immediately. The two others were taken to hospital. The driver of the motor lorry, Herbert Harback, is understood to have escaped with superficial wounds. The late Mr. Judd was a married man with three children. He was employed as a senior reporter on the staff of "The Mercury," and was apparently returning home frlm his work at the time of the tragedy. He was a son of the late Mr. Harry Judd. formerly a member of the literary staff of the same newspaper, and well known in Launceston, where he was the district representative. Mr. Jack Judd served with the Australian  Expeditionary Force in France. He commenced his journalistic career on' the North-West Coast, and joined "The Mercury" on the death of his father. His tragic death will occasion feelings of deep regret among his journalistic colleagues, and the wide circle with whom his professional duties brought him in contact.
