Philip Debretto. young italian laborer, was
ready to be carried away to the grave when the
officer entered the morgue with the documents
and read them according to legal procedure
The story has Its beginning In an accident at
the Drake Stratton stripping operations at the
Fayal mine. Last Saturday night Debretto was
struck BY a dinky engine while working at the
pit. The accident was due to the victims igno-
rance of nag signals and inability to understand
English. Tho the engineer shouted TO him and
signaled, Debretto failed to get OF the track,
and was crushed before the engine could be
stopped.
Debretto suffered CREST agony until he died
ETH. keeper Of boarding house where Debretto
lodged, went into police court and secured from,
Judge Vivian Prince garnishee order on the
dead man for $2s. Nicholas Kent, police officer,
could not see how he could very we'll serve
such papers on a corpse, so he referred the
matter back to the court. 81. ~ 80 ~
Judge Prince instructed the officer to serve
! the papers as had been requested by Lacoretti
Thus it happened that the officer, armed with q
garnishee went to the morgue and with be-
fitting solemnfty read the paper to man whose
ears had been closed to all sound by the grim
reaper. - .s....:
