TELEPHONE COMPANY BLAMED
Coroner's Verdict in the Case o:
frederick Imhof.

Five witnesses were examined at the in
quest held at the morgue this morning IN
the case of Frederick w. Imhof, the young
man whose death resulted from an electric
shock received yesterday morning at the
Brightwood car barn The relatives OF the
deceased were represented by Attorney
Leon Tobriner. and Secretary Lackey was
in attendance on behalf of the railway com
pany.
1t was shown that Imhof's death was
caused by his coming in contact with dis
abled telephone wire that had been put out
of commission during the storm Inc wire
had been attached to one corner or the car
barn and was hanging from the corner
when the fatal accident occurred The
street sprinkler that figured in the transac-
ton was kept on lot adjoining the car
barn. and it was while driving out OF thlS
lot that one of the horses struck against
the wire and dropped dead. The other horse
was stunned, but was not seriously injured.
Imhof was going to the drivers assist
ance and his face touched the wire. 1t was
stated that the police cut a number OF
wires that were sagging, and that the Wire
In question had been looked after by them.
This wire, 1t was stated, had fallen across
the feed wire from the barn 1t was thought
the insulation was cut by the constant NOV
ing of the wires and that it became charged
when the barred wires came in contact.
1t was the opinion of tie jurors that the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany should have repaired the damage
nromptly They said in their verdict that
The young mans death was due to an ac-
c!dent. and the telephone company was
blamed for not promptly raising the fallen
wire.
After the inquest had been held Under
taker Burgdorf took charge of the body
and removed il to the home of the father
