INMATE'S DEATH

PROBE GOES ON; PLAN CHANGES

State Looks to Improvement Of Working Conditions At Institutions.

Investigation of the death of a Central State Hospital inmate continued today as State officials made plans to improve the employee personnel of benevolent institutions by providing better working and living conditions. Municipal Judge Pro Tem. Floyd Mannon fixed Aug. 10 as the date for the preliminary hearing for Roy Sherman, 35, hospital attendant, who now is being held on an involuntary manslaughter charge in connection with the fatal scalding of Marion Jones, 56, Negro inmate. + Sherman, who gave his address as 722 West Drive, Woodruff Place, was

. released under $500 bond. The police homicide squad, Dr. Max A. Bahr, |

hospital superintendent, and Dr. Norman Booher, deputy coroner, are continuing the investigation of this case. Investigators now charge that Sherman walked out of the hospital without leave Saturday night, enabling someone else to attempt to give Jones a bath. Jones was fatally scalded when he could not get out of the tub.

Before leaving for a vacation on Lake Wawasee yest¢rday, Governor Townsend said he thought the new institutions building program authorized by the special session of the Legislature would correct situations of this kind.

State Welfare officials said it was difficult to secure “high-grade attendants” since the employees now have to live in the wards with the patients. State officials also are studying methods of equalizing pay and raising the employee wage evel.

HEAT BLOWS UP 52 PAVEMENTS

New Steel Railroad Bridge Replaces Underpass On Road 13.

- High temperatures of the last six weeks have caused 62 pavement “blow ups” on Indiana’s road system, State Highway Commission Chairman T. A. Dicus announced today. He said most of the breaks in pavement have occurred on roads which were improved six to eight years ago. Heat expansion causes the explosions. Commission maintenance engineers estimate that it costs a minimum of $50 to repair a pavement “plow up.” The majority of these breaks occurred between noon and 4 p. m. In some cases rain falling on the heated pavement resulted in the breaks.

Underpass Is Reioved

Mr. Dicus also announced that workmen recently completed demolition of the old underpass on Road 13, south of Noblesville, and moved a new railroad bridge into place during a 12-hour absence of trains on the Nickel Plate Railroad. The new steel span which will carry trains over the highway was built on temporary abutments at the side of the old structure and was rolled into place on the new abutments after the old track -and steelwork was removed.

The new under pass will have a

wider roadway and is a part of the improvement of Road 13 between Indianapolis and Noblesville.
