L1NEMAN ELEcTRocuTED
william Mulcahey Killed Last Sunday
While Placing Insulator on Pole

With his right hand grasping a live
wire and his body hanging limp and
lifeless in the leather safety strap fast
ened to the pole, William P. Mulcahey,
a lineman in the employ of the Gold
field Electric Light & Power company,
suspended in mid air last Sunday
while an electric current Of $500
volts passed through his body shocking
the nerve centers until life was ex-
tinet. The accident was witnessed by
a large crowd of bystanders, helpless
to render assistance, and was accom-
panied by features of a most siekening
nature. The night before during a con-
versation with a party Of friends Null
.cahey had complained of the press #
on Sundays and iesfingly remarked
that he supposed he would be electro
cuted if he kept it up. A few hours
later his remains were placed on a slab
at the morgue.
About 1880 o'clock Sunday morning
a number of men standing on Crook
avenue near Main street noticed the
unfortunate mans hat fall to the
ground, and looking upward saw his
inanimate body suspended in the strap,
his right hand clenching the life de-
%stroying wire. The deadly current
burned the wire deep into his palm and
the stencil arising from the charring
flesh was almost unbearable. Power
less to render aid, the Mortified specta-
tors gazed at the revolving spectacle
until the current vas shut off at the
sub-station, when the body was lower
ed from the pole and removed to a near
by drug store. Surgeons were quickly
in attendance, but all efforts to resus-
citate Mulcahey were unavailing.
For a time, during the short, but to
the onlookers interminable period in
which the body was suspended from
the pole, it appeared as though the first
tragedy was to be followed ny another
no less revolving. Made desperate by
the sickening sight, one of the wit
nesses of the horrible affair climbed
the pole before the current was shut
off, and was Just about to grasp the
lifeless body when the oft repeated re-
m~onstrances of the crowd below caused
him to desist in his rash attempt.
An inquest was held over the re.
mains Monday evening, Justice of the
Peace Bell officiating as coroner. II
developed during the taking of testi
mony that a telephone ground wire was
attached to the pole, and that fact,
taken in connection with the further
fact that there was a burnt spot on the
sole of the hneman' IS left foot, thereby
demonstrating how the circuit had been
completed, resulted in the jury's bring,
ing in a verdict of death by electrocu.

field, state that he was a brave and

Mrs William Mulcahey, reside at San
Rafael to which point the remains
were shipped Tuesday night.

Ten men, divided into two shifts. are

distance of 800 feet and about 8 feet
from it's breast a vein was encounter

of the rock show considerable free
gold and it is thought that by drift.
