eleventh floors. he started to get some tools. In.
stead OF signalling the elevator man to raise tho
car 80 as to bring it to tho level Of the eleventh
floor. he began TO climb up. He grasped the
iron beam which separates the shafts on tho
level of each floor, and tried to pull himself up
with his hands. In doing SO he bent his head
and shoulders over into shaft 3.
Just at that moment the elevator in shaft 3
descended and struck Zoll ON the back of the
head. crushing him between the car and the
beam. The elevator came to a sudden stand
still. 1t was crowded with passengers. who saw
the man die through the grating Of the elevator.
