cry OF pain and looking upward saw a
body dangling at the top OF the pole
so feet from the pavement.
Flames were seen starting from the
mans clothes and slowly the wires
burned into his flesh. When taken
from his fearful seat a half-hour later
the dead man was burned beyond rec
ognition.

come by the heat. and grasped the
live wire in an effort 10 save himself
from falling. Ii was found that the
wires had burned away almost all of
his left hand. and had penetrated his
body TO the aorta. the great blood ves-
sci leading out OF the heart
He had lost almost all his blood
within three or four minutes after
sending the current through his body.
Cotter had been connected with the
