Is it worth $217.77 a minute to be i'm
prisoned in the freezing temperature OF
a refrigerator.
This question may be decided by a
jury in the District Supreme Court in
the suit, filed today, of Samuel L. Box
well, a merchant at the Arcade Four
teenth street and Park road for 81, 900
damages against the Arcade Company
and Frank L. Averili, president.
BoXwell says he was locked up for
one hour and thirty minutes in the cold
storage room of the building, asking
SIS, 600 damages for the experience.
His imprisonment in the giant re-
frigeratcr is alleged by Bowel to have
been without cause and with intent to
injure, Intentionally, wantonly, mali
Ciously. wickedly and un!awfully." Per-
manent injuries, inCapacitating him
from performing his work, are alleged
by BoXwell.
