Ansonia, July 4.-Samuel T.. Cotter,
by Gas and Electric company and SUI
perintendent of the fire alarm system
for the past fourteen years, was cleo
troeuted this afternoon while engaged
in repairing fire alarm wire. He was
on a cross-bar on telephone pole thir-
ty feet above the ground at the time of
the accident, and the crowd of people
who gathered to the scene Were horri-
fled to watch the mans writings be-
fore death resulted. 1t was upwards of
half an hour after the accident was dis
covered before it was possible to have
the power shut off and the man lower
ed which was done by means of ropes
The accident happened as Mr.. Cotter
was making repairs on an electric light
wire in front of the Farrel Foundry and
Machine company's shops at the corner
of North Main and Liberty streets. He
was sitting on a cross-arm and the wire
ran over him. The lnsulator had burn
ed off. He was working on another
wire and it is supposed that he was
overcome by the heat and upconscious-
ly grasped the live wire with his hands,
which were covered with perspiration.
The wire he was working on also had
the insulator burned off and when he
grasped the upper wire the circuit was
completed. owing to the current Of
200 volts having to pass through his
clothes the man was not instantly kill
ed but he was so seriously burned al
most instantly that he ruptured a blood
vessel In his writings he was unable
to draw away his hands and the cur
rent continued to pass through his
clothing into his body so that the flesh
about his chest, arms and other por-
tions of the body were literally baked.
The accident was first noted by a con-
ductor of the Derby Street Railway
who Immediately sent word
and had the power shut off. A ladder
was secured from a nearby engine
house, but before assistance could be
the man was being slowly
and he finally was lowered
to the ground by means Of ropes. Med
ical Examiner Cunlflin was summoned
and after viewing the remains gave
permit for their removal.
Cotter was a married man and leaves
a widow son and daughter. He was
foreman of the Eagle Hose company, u
Mason and an odd Fellow.
