WORKMAN LITERALLY
GROUND TO PIECES

Philadelphia, Dec. 7.-One or the
most horrible accidents reported within
recent date occurred in the Thomas
Hamilton Wire Works, when Frank
Taper, 40 years old. an expert work
man, was caught in one of the great
wire-making machines and ground 10
pieces before the eyes Of his fellow
workmen, and before any effort could
be made to save his life. So quickly
did the accident happen. and so awful
was the scene, that all those who wit
messed it were horror-strlcken, and
for a minute or SO could hardly move
from their places.
Taper found that something was
wrong with the machine. He was try
ing to repair the damage when the
next thing his fellow comrades saw
was his body being rapidly drawn
through the machine where the strands
Of wire were made.
So quickly did it all happen that not
one of the men in the place could rem
der any assistance. Not a cry escaped
the lips of Taper. and almost as
quickly as he was caught in the intri-
cate machinery was his body ground
to pieces, all except his head. The
police said it was one of the mos,
| frightful cases they ever handled.
