man.

Cynthia Thomas Morris was testifying during the Supreme Court trial of her husband, 37-year-old Appleby Spurling and Kempe lawyer Allan (Shaun) Morris, charged with causing the death of another man through dangerous driving.

Morris, of Vermont Valley View, Smith's, has pleaded not guilty to causing Marvin Bean's death.

The accident occurred around 2.20 a.m. on May 28, 1995 on Palmetto Road in Devonshire.

Mrs. Morris told the jury they were returning home from a charity event in Southampton at the time of the accident.

She said her husband was driving along Palmetto Road, at about 30-35 kph, when she suddenly saw a man.

"He appeared in front of the car and I screamed that there was a man there,'' she recalled. "By the time I screamed to my husband the man was already on the car.

"After I screamed the car turned to the left and we went over the kerb. My husband got the car back onto the road and we stopped. It happened very quickly.'' Mrs. Morris told the court she could not say exactly where she first saw Mr.

Bean, but maintained that she saw him on the left side of the car.

And she estimated that just a few seconds passed from the moment she screamed and when the car stopped.

After the car stopped her husband searched for the man.

While the pair were deciding who would go for help, a taxi came by and they stopped it.

Mrs. Morris said she asked her husband if he had seen the man before they hit him and he had replied "no''.

"I told him (the Police officer) that a man had appeared in front of the car out of nowhere,'' she said. "We walked to the area where I thought we hit him... I told him that I was not certain of the exact location on the road.'' Under cross-examination yesterday by Solicitor General Barrie Meade, Mrs.

Morris said she could not remember if Mr. Bean was walking toward or away from their car before they struck him.

She said she never saw Mr. Bean's body after the "horrifying'' accident and the pair did not try to help the injured man because the taxi driver, who called the ambulance, told them there was nothing they could do.

She added she became "quite upset'' when she discovered that none of the prosecution's statements about the accident included anything she said.

"I was the one who tried to show them where I thought the impact occurred...,'' Mrs. Morris said. "My husband never showed them where the point of impact was. I was with him at all times.''
