Minor later collided with a car at the intersection of 11-th and Hanover streets.

A respected civic leader who left his mark on Roanoke has passed away.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=04-1996;]

Judge Beverly Fitzpatrick Senior died early yesterday morning at the age of 80.
Fitzpatrick was the youngest judge appointed to a Virginia court when he was given the position in the 1950s.
By the time he retired in 1980, he was the chief judge of the 23rd judicial district.
After his retirement, Fitzpatrick led the efforts to save the Old Jefferson High School by turning it into the Jefferson Center.
(------------)
[ANCHOR=Denise]
[GRAPHIC=None]

He was the President of the center's foundation from 1989 until the time of his death.
Fitzpatrick was also one of the first judicial leaders in Virginia to recognize alcoholism as a disease.
Beginning in 1967, he formed what he called an honor court. It gave alcoholics a choice of serving 10 days in jail or 10 hours in his court where they were taught about the disease.
Services for Judge Beverly Fitzpatrick Senior will be 11 Monday morning at the Second Presbyterian Church in Roanoke.

The three attended a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner.
Jackson and Clinton are helping the Gore-Lieberman ticket court the black vote.

Meanwhile, Republican candidate George W. Bush told Californians last night that Gore is taking their votes for granted.
But Bush - who is resting after 3 days of campaigning in California - is staking his claim to the voter-rich state.

Condemned killer Derek Barnabei spent the last weeks of his life - demanding DNA testing he said would exonerate him. It didn't. He was executed Thursday. But since D-N-A testing was embraced in America's courtrooms in the late 1980s, it has had an impact that's no less than revolutionary... And Virginia blazed the trail.
Keith Humphry has a look back at some notable cases in this week's Virginia Newsreel.
