WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1922 OVERTURNED TRUCK KILLS CHAS. WILCOX considerable speculation as to whether there could be any possible connection between the Lanipltt affair ind the death of Wilcox. There is no eTiefence to Indicate any foul play, and the-general opinion seems to be that Wilcox, being clos eted in a comple’e’y s hut in cab was asphyxiated by the fumes from the exhaust of his englntf.’but others con tend that as he was going up hill, if he had become unconscious his foot would have naturally slipped from the excellerator pedal. Among those who testilled at the inquest was Sheriff Miller who was the man who arrested Lampitt and who hapepne to be a close friend of the deceased. Miller said that Wil cox bad never bad any heart trouble and was not subject to fainting spells. , However, at the inquest, Dr. True blood said that Brights Disease often develops following burns. Foreman Miller for the Ohio Oil Company at Grass Creek was also a witness at the Inquest but said no thing other than has already been written. Charles W. Wilcox is survived by a wife who is at present at the Cham berlin Hotel, and by two children. Under the present provisions of the State Workmens Compensation Law, the wife will receive immediately $2000.00. and thb Children shall re ceive $120.00 annually until reaching the age of sixteen years. Funeral ex penses are to be paid for by the State, and the body was shipped to Ther mopolis, the former home of Wilcox, on Thursday.
