MAHEU (TOUSSAINT), son of old Bonnemort, and husband of La Maheude. He
was considered one of the best workmen in the Voreux pit, did not drink,
and was liked and respected by all his companions. He had been for a
considerable time under the influence of the doctrines taught by Etienne
Lantier when he was selected by his comrades to place their views before
the officials of the company. In the great strike which followed he
took part, and in the attack on the troops sent to guard the pit he was
driven on by his wife to join the aggressors. He fell, shot through the
heart, after the fatal volley fired by the soldiers.
