FIND DEAD BODY IN
ELEVATOR SHAFT.
JACOB JOHNSON DROWNED IN TEN
INCHES OF WATER AT BED
DING PLANT.
NO ONE SAW ACCIDENT.
Failed to Come Home for Supper-Police
Start Search and Discover
Corpse.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 31.-A
mysterious elevator tragedy was dis
covered at the plant of the Berger Bed
ding company on Market street this
morning at an early hour.
Lying at the bottom of the elevator
shaft, with mattress grasped in his
arms, his face immersed in ten inches
of water, lay the lifeess body of Jacob
Johnson, an employe, who was first
missed at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon.
Absence Was Reported.
Johnson's fellow employees observed his
absence at that hour and reported to the
office. He did not appear at his home,
1903 Galena street, for supper and his
wife became alarmed. She reported his
absence to the police this morning and 1t
was decided to make strict search OF
the plant where he was employed.
The dead body was found soon after
wards. The circumstances indicate that
Johnson, supposing the elevator to be at
his floor, walked blindly into the shaft,
carrying the mattress before him.
Johnson Was Drowned.
The mattress undoubtedly broke his
fall, but it is believed h was stunned
and that he drowned in the water which
hdu dCCuHiuldttu Ut the DotIou VI ILe
shaft.
Johnson was 81 years of age, married,
and had two children. He had been in
the employ of the Berger Bedding COM
pany as mattress maker for some
time.
Shaft Is Dimly Lighted
:, The elevator was used repeatedly after
johnson was missed 4 o'clock but the
bottom of the shaft is some feet below
the lowest floor at which the elevator
stops and his body was not noticed
An ex-emDlQye Of the company who
visited the scene Of Johns6n's death this
morning said that the elevator and shaft
were not lighted except by dim daylight
In ali probability" he said. John
son was Carrying mattresses into the
elevator. He probably had carried if
one or more and went back for another
leaving the door open and the elevator
standing at the third floor. Meanwhile
another employee moved the elevator to
the next floor above and Johnson coming
along with the big mattress held in front
of him did not see in the dim light, that
the elevator had been moved. The door
probably stood open and he plunged for
ward into the shaft believing that the
elevator was there"
Officials of the Berger company say
that there is sufficient light in the vicin-
ity of the shaft to illuminate it.
The foreman, Adam Schmidt, stated
that the elevator was in good condition
and that it has been recently examined
by the state factory inspector and an
insurance company. He said that the
bottom of the shaft was on a level with
the river which accounted for the water
in the bottom of the shaft.
