Eicher's buggy was properly lit with mandatory reflectors and red lights to Identify the buggy to approaching traffic from both directions.

The stretch of highway where the accident occurred Is pretty straight, so we're still not sure why Hartley didn't see the wagon. That Is still under investigation," the trooper said.

Archey worked for the FBI and provided security for major sporting events.

Archey's election Is a sign of progress, Cameron said, but it would be nice if Marion would do more. He has a suggestion, too. The castlelike brick Jail where he was a prisoner years ago now sits vacant. He thinks it could be made into a museum dedicated to all who have died for the cause of equal rights. i "It would show people that good does come out of evil," Cameron said.

Archey doubts the museum will happen. Many people, black 1 and white, see the Jail as an un- pleasant reminder of the lynch-ings; they just want it to go away, he said. "That particular day was a bad day," Archey said. "Today was a good day."

Hancock's work included statues of Douglas MacArthur at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point N.Y., John Paul Jones at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, and James Madison at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

He also created the bust of President George Bush located in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, inaugural medals for President Dwight Eisenhower, and was one of several sculptors who worked on the memorial to Confederate war heroes at Stone Mountain, Ga. "Hancock has spent his life ennobling the human figure," Boston Globe art critic Christine Temin wrote in a story published Aug. 16. "He has sculpted the great and the good, Robert Frost to Thomas Jefferson, along with the kids in his neighborhood and the gods of ancient myth.

He gave equal dignity to all." Hancock was born in St. Louis. He got his first commission for a World War I memorial at a local high school when he was 18. In 1929, at the age of 19, he made a SHERIFF Continued from Page 1 Barbara, and put his hand on the Bible she bought him for Christmas. He took the oath of office from Indiana Attorney General Jeffrey Modisett.

And Archey promised to do his best. Afterward, everyone wanted to shake his hand. Everyone wanted to be photographed with Archey. Every face was familiar to him; they were friends, neighbors, former students. Black and white.

"We have an example here of the most qualified man winning regardless of party, regardless of background, regardless of race," Modisett said as Archey mingled. But the race thing is always there In Marion, mostly because of 1930. That was the year a mob stormed the Jail and dragged three blacks to the courthouse lawn. The two 19-year-olds were lynched. The third was James Cameron, then 16.
