which Mann did. When he made a Sudden
jerk of the cables, the car started up with a
Jump and before Rollins had even time ia
speak. the ear was on him, catching him
between the edge of the pit and the life
guard of the ear. There is only fouT
inches of space between the life guard and
the ground Rollins was caught by the leg
first and pushed onward crushing his leg,
and abdomen, tearing some of the skin of
his body in frightful manner. The car
was stopped as soon as possible. Rollins
said before his death that no one
