AWARDED VERDICT FOR s5,425
Victim of Elevator Accident Gets
Claim for Injuries.

Wilson A. McCloskey, who was injured
August .. 1907 while painting the shaft
of the elevator in the Hibbs building.
George A. Fuller Company, has been
awarded a verdict for 81, 425 against the
company by jury in Circuit Court
No. =, before Chief Justice Clabaugh.
McCloskey was seated on the top of the
elevator, and had signaled the operator
of the lift to stop at the second floor. He
charged that after coming to the stop
the operator suddenly started the car and
the painter was caught in attempting 10
alight at the second landing. McCloslie y
brought suit for $4,000 damages against
the Fuller company and the Otis Elevator
Company, which had installed the eleva-
tor, and whose employe was operating it.
At the trial the Otis Elevator Company
was exonerated by order of the court on
the showing that it had turned over the
elevator as complete to the contractor
and hired the operator to the Fuller COM
pany. The Fuller people sought to evade
responsibility on the plea that they had
sublet the painting contract to the
Mackay company of New York. and had
loaned the elevator conductor to facilitate
the work of the subcontractors.
1t was shown, however, that the SER
vices of the operator was paid for by the
Fuller company, and the court held the
company responsible and the jury as
sessed the damages.
Attorneys S. V. Hayden and Hayden
Johnson represented the injured man.
Colbert appeared for the Fuller corpora
ton. The Otis Elevator Company was
represented by Attorneys Mckinney and
Flannery.
