that he died shortly afterward. There
were only a few eyewitnesses and while

for the accident. 1t can only besur-

his post and lost his balance. Another
man was working seven feet above
Betlaff and just happened to look down
in time to see Betlaff falling through
space, and lighting, with his whole
weight, on Exc scantling and break
