Boyd Is Killed. .-.
James Boyd, boy, employed as
polisher at the works of the Whining
ton Maleabe Iron Co., Ninth and
Locust streets, was almost instantly
killed on Friday by an emery-whcel
at which he was working, breaking and
striking him. Boyd was engaged in
polishing casting when the wheel
broke.
A triangular shaped piece of the hard
stone struck the boy on the left breast,
directly over the heart. The stone tore
the flesh, and crushing in the ribs, en-
tered the cavity Of the chest. A carriage
was summoned and it started on the
way to the Delaware Hospital. Before
it reached there the boy died and his
body was taken to his home at Third
and Tatnall streets.
The exact cause of the accident is
not known. Boyd was an experienced
hand in operating the emery-wheel but
it is supposed that he started the
machinery little too soon, and when
he placed the casting on the stone il
broke .
The cnroner's jury on Saturday rem.
dered Il verdict OF accidental death. In
terment took place at Riveryicw GENE
