While being transferred from the third TO the
first floor in the Metropolitan Hospital on
Blackwelrs Island, yesterday, Catherine Gal
lagher thirty years old, of No. 15o Essex-st-'
tuberculosis patient instantly killed oy
being crushed between the floor of the elevator
and the ceiling of the first floor. The accldeht
happened in full view of some fifty patients in
the ward, who, bedridden, were unable TO raise
a hand to prevent the accident.
1t was decided to move her to a ward on the
first floor owing to the crowded condition the
third floor was in. and because it was thought
that the first floor ward would be more pleasant
for her. To John Mclaughlin an orderly IN
the hospital assigned the task of moving
Mrs. Gallagher. She was so weak that
stretcher was called into requisition, and John
Mcbride the elevator opera tor. was called on
to assist the orderly. Together the two men
carried the patient to the elevator. and Nc
Bride started it on it's downward course. The
elevator was one of the old fashioned make,
with the rope running through its middle.
Arriving at the first floor, Mcbride stopped the
elevator and together the men started to carry
the stretcher on which lay Mrs. Gallagher into
the ward Mclaughlin carried the head of the
stretcher. while the elevator man carried the
foot. They had just started, when, without
warming the elevator started up with Mcbride
in it, and the stretcher containing Mrs. Gal
lagher projecting couple of feet over its side
Shrek after Shrek rent the air the elevator
slowly forced its way upward both from the
doomed woman and the helpless patients who
lay on their cots unable to move. Mcbride
clutched and tugged at the rope in frantic at
tempt to control the machine.
1t not until the head of the helpless
woman had come in contact with the ceiling
and had been crushed that the elevator was
stopped The womans death had been instan-
taneouS.
Several of the patients in the ward who Lad
seen the accident tainted. and doctors had to be
called to attend them.
After the patients had queted down Superin-
tendent O'Rourke and the engineer of the IN
stitution made inspection of the elevator.
