Mrs. W. Il. Cox, the wife of a Wall
street broker, was busy about her bed
room in Brooklyn, y. Y, Thursday, and
started to put heavy folding bed together
While standing at the head of the bed she
leaned over to take hold of one of the COW
ers, when the bed shot up and she was
caught in a tight embrace. The force of
the blow broke her right arm Just above
the elbow, and also fractured her left Jaw
bone, so that when she attempted to
scream her jaws refused to move. The I'M
fortunate woman had been damned in the
bed about 10 minutes, when a servant in a
flat below, who had heard the noise made
by the bed, was prompted by curiosity to
go to Mrs. CoX's room. For a moment
she stood speechless on discovering the
plight of Mrs. Cox, and she started to eff
feet the wOman's release. This she was
unable to do, and so screamed for help.
Several neighbors came quickly and the
bed was opened. Mrs. Cox was taken out
unconscious, and it was a long time before
physicians could restore her. Her medi-
cal attendants say that few moments
more in the bed would have ended her life.
