man Whlrllng on a stCam-shatt that passed from
one building to the other. He then went across
which was done Immediately. On going back, it
was found that the victim had become so COM
plctcly entangled that it took two men several
minutes to cut away the clothing and disengage
him from the shalt The man was a German,
named Frederick Adolph, and apparently about so
years OF age. 1t appears that he was. engaged in
WhltcWa5hing the walls, and was probably leaning
