Columbia, June 2S.--The horrifying
spectacle Of man being clectrocuted
by a live Wire was witnessed by near
~ two thousand people here this at
ternoon at the bali grounds. AL
though aid was given as quickly as
possible, the moments seemed ages
while the man dangled from the wires
upon the pole he had climed. Three
times he swung each way and then his
body Strengthened out. The body was
taken down by rope and the wires
cut, but even as this operation was in
progress the swapping Of the wires
sent the unfortunate victim to the
ground, and as his feet touched the
earth his limp body clung to the pole
by which he fell. Medical eXamina-
ton revealed the fact that he was be-
yond human help, although some time
was spent in trying to revive him.
The victim was identified tonight
as Darrell Harrison, a worker in the
mill village. He was d native of
Bath. and was a married man. One
of his fellow workers, with whom he
boarded, came to the undertaking
establishment and positively indenti-
fed him. Harrison is Judged 10 have
,een about twenty-five years Of age.
There are many conflicting stories
e just how the accident occurred.
Those who were nearby on the street.
which is outside the limits of the bali
grounds the pole being almost direct
ly beyond the farthest point Of centre
field fence, for the most part agreed
that during the afternoon there were
several persons on that very pole.
Some say that at the time Of the
tragedy two men and small boy
We're on the pole and that with the
slipping of one mantle victim--the
others dropped to the ground and
hurriedly moved away from the
secene. There was the story also that
the small boy jumped and was not
