Rockville, March 28 -- Kenneth SIMPSON, 55, of this city, who was hit by an  automobile at the NE corner of the public square here late  Thursday succumbed at his home at 3 o'clock Saturday morning.  Although Mr. Simpson was not thought to be critically injured at  the time he was struck he was found later to be suffering from  concussion of the brain which caused his death. Mr. Simpson was  hit by an automobile drive by Cash Courtney of Memphis, Missouri  who was accompanied by his brother, Elza of the same city. Both  men were placed in jail here following the accident where they  are being held on charges of intoxication. T he arrests were made  by Sheriff Delbert Lewis and Marshall Jess Manley who were called  to the scene by witnesses of the accident after they had noticed  the driver of the car was acting in a peculiar manner. The  accident in all probability will be investigated by the Parke  County Grand Jury and it is thought that an indictment of  involuntary manslaughter will be returned against the two  brothers. Funeral arrangements for Mr. Simpson have not as yet  been completed.
