��PRE-SENTENCEINVESTIGATION
Staunton, Va.
December 8., 1947

37
AGE:
OFFENSE
PRIOR RECORD
Va.
MARITALSTATUS: Married
NO. OF DEPENDEN'IS: Four
RACE: White
SEX:
.CITIZENSHIP: Am.erican
OFFENSE: Drunk Driving &
Manslaughter
Male
On Saturday, May 31, 1947, at about 8:26 in the evening a car allegedly
operated
by the above named subject struck Noah Dellinger,
forty-seven
year old resident
of Timberville,
as he was crossing the street in the middle of the five hundred
block on North Main Street in Harrisonburg.
At the time he was struck Dellinger
was said to be about six feet from the west sidewalk.
The investigating
officer
stated that Dellinger's
body was carried on the car for approximately ninety
feet from the point he was hit and that after the body came off of the car the
car traveled approximately
thirty
feet beyond.
Judging from a photograph
viewed by the reporting
officer
the car was pretty badly battered
after the
accident.
Two Fi.arrisonburg officers
arrived at the scene shortly thereafter
and
it is said that at the time of their arrival
Orebaugh was staggering
drunk while
his companion in the car, Wilson Whitmore, was practically
beyond the point of
locomotion.
It is understood that Whitmore is Orebaugh 1 s brother-in-la'V'T and
that the two had been on quite a drinking party prior to the accident.
Orebaugh I s
version of the offense differs
on several points.
He stated to the officer
that
in the first
place he was not driving the car but that Whi unore was under the
wheel at the time of the collision
and that he, Orebaugh, was standing trial in
his place.
He stated further
that the man he was alleged to have hit stepped
out from between two parked cars and that immediately after the collision
the
parked cars pulled out and left.
'Ihis statement was followed by Orebaugh 1 s
remark that as nearly as he can dete . ine there were no eye witnesses
to the
accident.
The officer
also noted that while it is the subject's
claim that he
was not driving,
in describing
his progress along the street he talked as though
he were the driver of the vehicle that was involved in the accident.
He is
probably in a very confused state as to what actually
occurred.
The speed of
the car at the time of t.h.e collision
was placed by Orebaugh at about 25 or 30
miles per hour.

In addition to these charges found against him it was learned that several months
ago a call was received by Officer Norvelle,
Harrisonburg Police Station,
and a
complaint was lodged by the subject I s wife that he had threatened
to stab her
with an ice pick.
Norvelle proceeded to the subject's
home and found that be had
fled.
Also, he was slated for appearance in court on the current charge and on
the day he was to appear he was too drunk to get there.
The officer who was
sent to get h:iln s ta. ted that he was seated behind his kitchen stove and that when
he was informed t.1-).a
t he had been summoned to appear in court he made a very
obscene remark and refused to make any attempt to go. Orebaugh was drinking
at the time the reporting
officer interviewed
him and he frankly admitted being
a heavy drinker since he was about twenty years of age.

of the folloring:

It is understood that the subject's
father,
Oscar Orebaugh, is a retired
railroad
inspector
and has never been in any serious trouble and drinks moderately.
The
subject's
wife is not believed to have been in any major trouble and she is
employed in the pants factory in Harrisonburg.
The subject's
daughter,
Juanita.,
works at the Harrisonburg Shirt Factory and is said to be expecting an illegitimate
child in the near future.
This family originally
came from Broadway but has
lived in Harrisonburg approximately
ten years.
Most of the relatives
and family
connections are still
in the Broadway vicinity
and the father owns a small piece
of property there.
HCl!E& NEIGHBORHOOD
The house is a large frame house covered with stucco and appears to be in a fair
state of repairs.
It is a double house divided into two apartments.
It has been
occupied by the Orebaugh family for the past five years.
The neighborhood is a
rather poor one and the property is surrounded by industry and business establishments.
The house faces on a small creek which runs through the town. It was
observed that the subject talked very roughly in front of his family and set a
bad exa~ple through continued drunkenness in the home.
��3
EDUCATION
The subject states
that he finished
the fifth
grade in Broadway. School.
He did
not like school and it is fairly well apparent he did not progress as rapidly
as he could or should.
He left school at about fifteen
and got married the
following year when only sixteen years of age.
He has had some subsequent
training
as a pants presser and in laying brick and cinder blocks.
RELIGION
The subject
INTERESTS &
ACTIVITIES
states
that
he is not a church member and has no interest
in church.
Orebaugh expresses
himself interested
in movies and reading comic books.
He
claims he is a member of the V. F. w. Post in Harrisonburg
but frankly admits
that one of his pleasures
is having a few drinks.
He expressed to t..h.e officer
a great interest
in playing the horses.
HEALTH
Orebaugh claims tha. t he was operated on for kidney stones while in the Army in
1943 and that he broke a foot while in Honolulu in 1942. He feels that there is
a possibility
that he may be having more trouble with kidney stones at this time.
Other than this his health is all right.
His family's
health is good with the
exception of Mrs. Orebaugh.
She recently
spent thirty-two
days in the hospital
and has to return.
EMPLOYMENT
Orebaugh's first
employment was in laboring
jobs around Broadway.
In 1938 he
went to work in the pants factory in Harrisonburg
and stayed there until 1942.
According to a photos-tat of his army service record he enlisted
October 21.,
1942, and was discharged
September 22, 1945. His service record is honorable and
nothing could be noted on the discharge
section that indicated
Orebaugh ran into
difficulty
while in the service.
Since his release Orebaugh states
that he has
worked for Dr. Paul Hill; Mr. Whitney, Mr. Brantley,
Mr. M.A. Layman and Mr.
Jess Cash; mainly laying brick and cinder blocks.
At the time of the interview
the subject claimed that he had not worked for about two weeks and by way of
excuse stated he was worried over his pending trial
and over the previously
mentioned condition
of his daughter.
He has apparently
be~n drinking very
heavily for some tj__yue.
RESOURCES
Orebaugh states
that
$5000 life insurance
SUMW.RY
The subject was allegedly
the driver of a car which struck and killed Noah
Dellinger
Saturday, May 31, 1947.
It appears that Orebaugh was considerably
under the influence
of alcoholic
beverages at the time of the accident.
The
reporting
officer
found an extensive
prior record on the subject dating back
to 1934.
The Orebaugh family is originally
from Broadway but for the past ten
years they have lived in Harrisonburg
in a good house located in a ratrer
poor
neighborhood.
The subject's
formal education was neglected
and he expre ses
no interest
in religion.
His interests
consist of reading comic books, movies,
and drinking.
His health at this time appears to be satisfactory
although he
his resources
at this time consist almost entirely
of a
policy and personal property valued at about $1.800.
��4
expresses fear of kidney stones.
The subject's employment has consisted mainly
of jobs that he could pick up and has been very irregular.
He has no money saved
and no bonds but claims he has a $5000 Life Insurance Police and about'$1800
in personal property.
PLA.N
The reporting officer makes no recommendation.
treatment for acute alcoholics would be a first
It is probable that a course of
step in rehabilitation.
