On Wednesday the case of Susan T
Loid vs.. The John S. Rogers Company Of
Stanwick, was tried Mrs. Loid is the
widow of William Loid, Pemberton car
penter, who fell from the third story Of
the new asylum at New Lisbon and was
killed. He was at work on the third fiool
and in shifting derrick it fell over. A
rope attached to it caught Loid and car
ried him to the ground, causing injuries
Mrs. Loid claimed the accident was due
to carelessness and brought suit to recover
damages. Her main witness testified tc
the facts connected with the accident, anC
said the derrick was erected under the su
pervision Of Rogers and his foreman, Loid
not being in any way connected with the
work. The derrick gave way because, in
the opinion of witness, it was not properly
put up. Nobody was stationed at the
foot of the derrick, hence the guy line
was not kept from slipping.
Mrs. Loid testified that her husband
was Al years of age, in good health at the
time of the accident and was earning 81
per day. He left four children
Mr.. Rogers gave evidence that the &C
cident occurred during his absence at din
ner. Mr.. Loid had been employed about
the derrick for long time, and had beer
instructed to use the utmost care in thu
handling of timbers Mr.. Rogers talked
with the man after he was hurt and the
affair happened, he must have stepped OIL
piece of rope. Mr.. Rogers said he was
insured against loss from accidents OF
this character by having accident policies
on the men employed by him.
