Rankin Agrees With Verdict in Mansfield's Death ~ Mineral Prosecutor Served in Field Artillery with Piedmont Man. Keyser, W. Va. May 24.
Prosecuting Attorney Vernon E. Rankin this morning agreed with the verdict of acting Coroner Paul Thomas, Piedmont, as to the cause of death of Thomas P. Mansfield, Piedmont, who met death early this morning when he fell off a cement box two and one half feet high in which batteries for the B. & O. railroad signal tower at Piedmont were stored. Rankin was called to Piedmont when authorities there ran into difficulties regarding disposition of the body, agreed with the decision reached by Piedmont authorities that Mansfield died accidentally. The body was discovered about 7:30 this morning by Richard Canty, Piedmont, who lives near the tower. County Physician J. H. Wolverton, who was immediately called, said Mansfield had been dead between twelve and fourteen hours. It was apparent when the body was found about 500 yards east of the Piedmont switch tower that Mansfield toppled backward off the battery box where the coroners witnesses testified today they had seen him setting early last night. His neck was broken, and his head was doubled under when it was found. Acting coroner Thomas deemed an inquest unnecessary. Prosecuting Attorney Rankin, who investigated Thomas Mansfield's death was also a member of the 313 Field Artillery during the war.
