Tines-Union r. T. Hutchinson. a col
ored liueman in the employ Of the South
Florida Telegraph Company, was killed
by live wire yesterday morning in this
city. The force of men employed by the
company have been at work in the city
for several days stringing new wires and
making the tines ready for the winter bus
mess. About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
this colored man, who has been iineman
for twenty years or more, went up a mast
at the corner of Franklyn and Polk streets
to do some work. This mast belongs to
the Consumers Electric Light Company,
and carries a large number OF their wires,
where they cross the telegraph wires of
the South Florida Company. The man was
told that his undertaking was a dangerous
one, as there were many live wires there,
but he said that ne knew his business. In
a few moments after he reached the sum-
nit of the mast his companions were hor-
rifed to see him fan. His left shoulder had
struck one of the powerfully charged light
wires and the shock threw him. In failing
he struck two more highly charged wires,
and each one burned deeply into his flesh.
He fell to the ground and was probably
dead before he reached 1t. The man lived
Ia Lakeland and the body was sent there
last night Superintendent G. D. Munsing
of the Consumers Company says that If
his company had been notified that re-
pairs were to be made at this place the
current would have been shut off until the
work was completed, but no notice was
given.

PROOF OF sHAw.s INNOCENCE.
RumOred Reason Why the Trial
Abruptly Closed Monday.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Lancaster says: A strange
story is told by James Heywards, who says
he is a resident of Stockton, n. j., and a
relative of Eli Shaw, who is accused of the
murder of his mother and grandmother in
Camden. Heywards asserts that the rea-
son the prosecution abandoned the case so
abruptly the other day was because the
public prosecutor had received information
that the defense was prepared to prove the
innocence of the prisoner, and the guilt of
another person, said to be now serving
term for robbery in the Eastern peniten-
tiary.
Heywards, who is matchmaker, was on
his way to Canton, Ohio. He states that
Shaw's attorneys had at no time any APP
prehension regarding the outcome of the
case Heywards further says that there
was no attempt at Jury fixing" but that
that story was given out to cover up the
real reason for the sudden termination or
the case Heywards carries letter show
ing that he is relative of Shaw.
