CAUGHT IN MACHINERY.
A Oolored Mans Horrible Death.

PETERSBURG, VA, February 5.--A
terrible accident, resulting I'm the in :
slant death of one man and serious in
Jury to another, occurred this morning
about l0:S0 O'Clock st the Cockade
City mill, nc the basin, near the h cad
OF High street George Simms, a col
ored youth about Is years old, EN-.
Pioyed in the mill, was attempting to
put belt on the shsfting on the fourth
hoor of the building, when thomas
Prichard, another colored employee
told him TO stop and let him put the
belt on.
This was done, but st the same time
Prichsrd's clothing was caught by the
screw, and he was hurled upward.
Prichard ssye he was carri-
ed over the shafting several times.
and his clothes were torn frora his
body. His heavy weight probably saw
cd him from death. He was badly in
1ured. however, internally. and had to
lie hel pleee upon his back until sent to
the Home for the Sick.
George Simms. who saw Prichavd' "a
danger, ran to his help. His clothing
was caught, and his body was hurled
rapidly around the shsfting, until q
message could be sent downstairs to
have the machinery stopped. When
this was done Simm's body was found
hanging limp and lfeless on the shaft
ing, and men had % stand on chairs to
lift it of. Death must have been al
most instantaneous. Upon examina-
ton 1T was found that the clothes had
been almost entirsly torn from his
body. his skull was crushed, his neck
broken, his left arm torn of, and al
most every bone in his body broken.
Corener Leigh and Jury held an in
quest, when the facts as above stated
were ELECTED. Prichard had to lie
down while giving his testimony. 1t
was in evidence that Simms had put
the betting on many times before, and
that it has TO be put on while the ma
chinery is running. The jury rend err
cd q verdict of death by accident.
