BRINGING MART|E HOME
Washington Man Hurt by EIe.
vator in Cumberland Trav-
cling in Swing.

Still swathed in bandages- and suffering
intense pain as a result of injuries re-
ceived three weeks ago by being struck
by an elevator In the Third National
Bank building, Cumberland. Md, John
Martie. an employee of the Otis Elevator
Company of this city. will be brought to
Washington this morning.
That Martie escaped with his life is a
mystery to his physicians. as his skull
was badly fractured at the base of the
brain. his nose cut of and his eyesight
partially destroyed. 1t was necessary to
operate on him several times, and sur
geons were called from Baltimore to as
sist the surgeon in charge Of the Western
Maryland Hospital, where the injured
man was confined.
Loses Sight Of Eye.
For two weeks it was believed Martie
would lose the sight Of both eyes, as
the eyes we're almost torn from their
sockets. An operation recently saved one
eye. but the other was destroyed.
1t will be necessary to convey Martie
in a swing. SO he Will escape the jar
and motion of the car His wife and
brother, Thomas Martie. Of this city will
accompany him. He will be taken to his
home at the Plaza apartments. Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Washington circle.
Martie was sent to Cumberland by the
Otis company to repair the elevator in
the bank building. and had just COM
pleted the work when the accident &C.
CURED. He was on the second floor of
the building looking down the elevator
shaft. inspecting his work, when the ele-
vator descended unexpectedly. Before he
had time to entirely withdraw his head
the bottom of the car struck him. He
remained conscious long enough to tell
the physicians his name and address.
Should his condition at the last moment
prevent his removal, his wife will wait
until Monday before bringing him home.
