Charles Arillas Stoneburner, 13965 La Maida St., Sherman Oaks, was pronounced dead on arrival at Valley Doctors Hospital, North Hollywood, following the 1:30 a.m. accident at Laurel Canyon boulevard and Vanowen street. Booked on suspicion of manslaughter was Elsie Louise Rhea, a 43-year-old Sun Valley entertainer. According to traffic officers G. N. McQuown and R. B.
