MANSLAUGHTER IS CHARGED IN DEATH
Harvey A. Pierce, 52, Is Victim Of Road Worker's Attack
SURRENDERS TO POLICE

George Lagenour, 40, of near Hillham, is in jail in Paoli facing a charge of manslaughter following the death of Harvey A. Pierce, 52, of near West Baden, who was fatally injured last Friday morning at Prospect when Lagenour hit him in the head with a road tool.
Pierce died at 3:30 the same afternoon at the St. Edwards hospital in New Albany, where he was rushed following his injury. Death was caused by a crushed skull and the bursting of a blood vessel.
Lagenour fled following the assault, and the sheriffs of Orange, Dubois and Martin Counties instituted a search for him. He gave himself up to Sheriff Paul Lindley Saturday morning and has been confined to the Paoli join since that time.
A coroner;s jury at the inquest held Monday night at West Baden held Lagenour to the grand jury on a charge of manslaughter.
According to witnesses of the assault, the attack was wholly unexpected and apparently without reason. Some of the men working on the road were gathered in a group and apparently indulging in harmless repartee when without warning Lagenour brought a heavy road tool down on Pierce's skull with a force that fractured his skull.
Employees on the road said that Pierce had had trouble with road officials over the blasting that is necessary to complete the fill of Prospect. Pierce accused them of setting off blast near his home, which is near the road, without giving him due notice so that he could notify his family in time to remove them from the vicinity of the blast. Pierce had been attacked about three weeks ago by a member of the road crew and was just barely recovered from it when he was killed.
Funeral services were held for Pierce Sunday morning at the home of Mrs. Eudora Kirkland in French Lick, a sister of the deceased, with burial at Antioch cemetery. Mr. Pierce is survived by his wife, eight children: Mrs. Agnes Johnson, Farley, Donna, Ardella, Demalea, Abigail, Foster and George Pierce, four sisters, Laura Boyd of Orleans, Ind., Eudora Kirkland of French Lick, Jane Buffington and Lydia Jackman of West Baden, and one brother, George W. Pierce also of West Baden.
