KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.

FOR THE LAST TIME.

CLERK TsUCHFs THE LAMP BEFORE THE STORE
FOR THE LAST TIME.
There was another death added to the record OF
fatal accidents that have resulted from contact
with electric wires last evening. The victim was
Frederick Wtte, clerk who worked in the store
OF his uncle, L. Schlesinger at No. 200 Bowery,
and lived at Rivington and Allen sts. In front
Oh MIR. Schlesingers store are two large lamps OF
the United States Company, one hanging at each
show window The store was closed at 0 o'clock
last evening, and Witte remained in front Of the
place talking with several friends for about ff-
teen minutes
The electric lamp on the south side OF the store
was hanging within easy reach of a person below
the average height. Witte stood directly under
it, with an overcoat hanging over his left arm.
He bade his friends Good night" and just as
he started to the street to go TO his home,
raised his right hand and seized hold OF the
framework on the right side of the lamp, with
the evident intention Of giving it swinging mo-
tion, as he had been known to do several times
before. A suppressed cry came from his lips ana
the spectators thought that Witte was giving an
exhibition for their amusement. hdeous grim
spread over his face and his legs moved as III
going through dance, but so rapidly that tney
could hardly be seen.
AT intervals his body was twisted and shaken
hy what appeared like violent conyulslons,
his knees were drawn to his chest ana every
muscle that could be seen had q distinct move
ment. The seriousness of the case did not dawn
upon t,.- mind of any one Ln:.i W;te fell f. the
sidewalk unconscious. His face was still con- con-
reddish tint. George Fuller, of No 442 East Forty
eighth-st, picked him up and carried him to
liquor store across the street where brandy was
poured down his throat Officer Brady called
an ambulance from Godverneur Hospital, but it
was useless as the surgeon said that Witte had
been dead for several minutes and was probably
instantly killed by the electric shock.
A small riot created by the ambulance
surgeon refusing to take the body, the crowd
thinking it wilful neglect but the surgeon was
dead bodies. The body was afterward taken
to the Edridgc Street Station. After the accident
an employe OF the United States Company raised
the lamp so that II hung about eight feet from
the sidewalk, two feet higher than when Witte
got hold of it. Witte has father and mother
living at Fort Washington, and expected to go
into the clothing business on his own account
in short time.
