He was high up in tree after a birds nest when the rope he was using in climbing caught on a limb. loop tightening around his neck and he was slowly strangled 10 death before the eyes of his bride Of a month. who. with two men. stood at the foot of the tree, unable to help the unfortunate man.
 Prof Birtwell had climbed the tree by the aid of pair of linemans spurs. and had reached a point seven ty-fve feet from the ground. when he called for help. His wife called to two men who were near, and they made quite long rope by tying short CT ones together and threw the rope to him.

Birkwell ierked one of his arms out of the loop, when the rope frightened around his throat. He was unable to lift his body to loos- en the rope. and before the eyes of his young wife and the two men he was strangled to death. they being power less to render him any aid A ladder had to be secured to get the body down.
 Mir. and Mrs Birtwell were married here only month ago. and were spending the honeymoon on the Rio Pecos forest reserve. where they had already made many friends.

Any attempt 10 describe the poor woman's feelings would be futile.
 Such an accident is not known 10 have previously occurred In any part of the world. IL is unique in character as well as unique In the dreadful dis tress 1t must have caused the mans wife to see him stTangling by seconds before her eyes while action for relief was denied her.
