HER HEAD TORN Or
A Co1oTed Girl Caught in a
Shafting and Literally
D~ismembered.
PLUCKY ATTEMPT 10 SAVE HER
Her Fourteen Year. Old Uncle Re-
ceives Probably Fatal Injuries
While Trying to Rescue
the Child.
PLUCKY ATTEMPT TO SAVE HER

Lulu Broddis, a twelve-year-old eoiored
girl of No. $40 Third street, was caught
in a vertical shaft in the Manhattan
Electrical Works, at No. As Morris street,
Saturday afternoon. Her body was torn
into a hundred pieces and scattered about
the room in which the accident occurred.
Her uncle. William Hallock. a fourteen
year-old colored boy, who was with her,
made a gallant effort to save her life at
the risk of his own, abandoning the res
cue only when his left leg was broken,
and he was tossed twenty feet away
from the shaft. The children went to the
building to see their grandfather, John
3. Hallock, who, with William Stewart.
had been engaged there for nearly a
week withdrawing the walls and beams.
HaIlock and Stewart were at work on
he fourth floor when the children en-
tered the building. Hurrying upstairs
they greeted their grandfather merriIy,
and a few minutes later went up on the
fifth floor to romp.
They had been gone only a short time
when Stewart emarke to HalIock that
It was dangerous for the children to play
on the floor above, owing to the quantity
OF rapidly revolving machinery there.
Hallock was preparing to go after the
children When he heard a Shrek which
terrified him. The next instant there
was a fearful thamp, a sudden Jarring
OF the machinery and then the humping
continued for about two inmates Hal
lock n Stewart rushed upstairs. There
a fearful sight met their gaze. Whirling
around with the shaft was all that re-
manned of Lulu Broddis- The floor about
the shaft was covered with blood and
bits of flesh. Twenty feet away lay the
battered head of the girl and in another
part of the room lay her legs and arms,
broken and torn into bits.
Close to the girls head lay William
Ha1lock- His leg was broken and he also
sustained internal injuries which will
doubtless prove fatal. When he was re-
stored to consciousness he told his heart
broken grandfather tina he had warned
Lulu to keep away from the shafting.
While he was speaking he says her cloth
ing became fastened in the machinery.
She struggled to save herself and the boy
says he pulled and tugged at her In an
effort to extricate her. Three times he
was caught in the shaft and narrowly
escaped being dashed against the walls.
Managing to free himself he continued
the fight to save his niece, not letting GO
Of her until his leg was broken and he
was tossed senseless twenty feet away.
Work in the building was stopped after
the shocking accident was learned of.
An ambulance was summoned and young
Hailock was removed to the City Hos
pital. where very little hope is enter
tanned for his recevery. The remains of
the girl were gathered up AND taken IN
charge by Coroner Gutenberg.
