Brewery Officials Opinion.

According to one of the brewery of
ficials there seemed to be no question
that Conner had been electrocuted as
result of grasping the upper part
of the incandescent electric light bulb.
1t is said that it had been noted by
employees of the brewery during the
evening that the service wire of the
Light. Heat & Power Company was
coming in contact with the high ten
sion wire of the interurban company
at a point near the plant, the blue
electric flame suffering with vigor
at intervals and indicating to a GER
tainty that the wires were in contact
However, there was no upward indi-
cation that a detected current from
the high tension wire was entering
the brewery over the service wire of
the light company.
Lamp Plainly Overchareed.
When Conner grasped the incandeS-
cent lamp which was hanging over
the Main street entrance of the brew
cry, in an attempt to transfer it to
its inner position, as was customary
he permitted his hand to touch the
brass fixtures above the bulb. Under
ordinary circumstances, and with the
usual current of electricity flowing
through the wire into the lamp, there
would have been no serious result to
4Sollow, ,brJi with the overcharged
wire pouring its deadly current into
the lamp, Conner was Immediately
Frustrated. The claim has been made
that had sufficient voltage passed
through the wire to have killed Conner
the lamp would have been destroyed
long before Conner attempted to re-
move it. As a counter theory it is
pointed out that possibly as the lamp
was in it's position over the doorway
on the outside, the over-charge of cur
rent leaked into the hanger and was
not carried in it's intirety through the
lamp. When Conner grasped the lamp
and removed it from it's hanger, theory
advanced is that the entire over-charge
passed through his body.
Corners sad fate was topic of con-
versation yesterday among hundreds
of people His acquaintances were
many and he was a popular man. He
had been employed, at the Piano
Works for long period and his pres
ence at the brewery Saturday night
was not as a workman but simply TO
visit the workmen whom he knew
well. Upon the occasion of visits of
this sort, Conner always assisted in
the rush hours.
