Fails To Charge Shelby Man Whose Blow Killed Alleged Attacker Of Daughter Shelbyville, Feb. 24. (INS) Roy Zeigler, 35, of Shelbyville, ho struck and fatally injured the confessed betrayer of his 12-year-old daughter, was a free man today. A Shelty county grand pury failed to return an indictment and Prosecutor Dale Rafferty said that involuntary manslaughter charged would te dropped. Zeigler had been under $2,000 bond since the death of a 67-ycar-old odd-jobs man, Charles Smith, in the Shelbyville police staticn after the former struck him in the temple with his fist.

Smith had admitted the criminal assault of Zeigler's young daughter. The jury which cleared Zeigler indicted Pierce Weaver, 46, whom Smith had implicated in the attack on a charge of a criminal assault. Weaver, after undergoing a lie detector test, had also admitted attacking the girl. Police Chief Charles Coebel, of Shelbyville, said. The Shelby county coroner, after an autopsy, had declared Smith was killed by a hard tlow on the head apparently when he hit the floor.

Police were questioning the old man in the police station when Zeigler walked in and sat down quietly. Later the officers left to question Weaver in another room, leaving the father and Smith alone. When police returned, they found Smith dead on the floor. Zeigler readily admitted striking the elderly man. FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR MR.
