Truck Driver Is Charged With Manslaughter - To Appear Before Justice of Peace Butch Today - B. D. Hall, of Glasgow, was instantly killed in a tragic auto accident which occurred at 5:00 o'clock this morning on Route 30 near West Point. A Chevrolet sedan, driven by Mr. Hall, an employee of the Wright Manufacturing Co., was traveling north toward Lisbon. At the first curve this side of Carney's filling station, a heavily loaded truck driven by Ralph LeRoy Schrader, aged 42, of Mt. Gilead, O., and traveling south toward East Liverpool struck the Hall car sidewise, throwing it backward into a bank. According to witnesses, the truck was over the line in the center of the road and due to the alleged rate of speed of the vehicle and the curve, the truck's rear wheels were said to have caught the side of the Hall car with terrific force. Mr. Hall was instantly killed. Coroner Ernest Sturgis and State Highway Patrolman L. L. Russell investigated the accident and Coroner Sturgis declared death due to chest injuries and skull fracture. Mr. Schrader, an employee of the Turner Trucking Co. of Mt. Gilead, was charged with manslaughter by Coroner Sturgis and was to appear before Justice of the Peace Felix Butch some time today. Jack Loren, also of Mt. Gilead, was a passenger in the truck. Hall, who owns a small farm near Glasgow, in Madison twp., is the father of seven children. The body is at the Henry Funeral Home, and funeral arrangements are yet incomplete. In a conversation with Edward "Fritz" Pruett, 13 October 1999, he told us that he sat up with the body of Bud David Hall when it was brought back to Alabama for burial.
