COLUMBIA LADY'S TRAGIC DEATH
Mrs. Caroline Aiken Robertson Falls
Through Elevator Shaft.

Columbia, July ll.-MTS. Cc11 oiIne
Aiken Robertson, wife Of Manager Nc
Bride C. Robertson, Of the South Caro-
lima Cotton Oil company's plant in
Columbia, died at the Columbia hos
pital this evening, without regalnlng
consciousness, half an hour after fall
ing from the second floor level to the
basement. down the elevator shaft in
the National Loan and Exchange
bank building. Just how the accident
occurred may never be known. 1t is
the prevailing theory that as the ele-
vator came up the operator opened
the door, thinking Mrs. Robertson
wished to go to higher floor; that On
finding she wished to go down instead,
he started his car upward and, as the
floor of the car rose and before the
door had closed, Mrs. Robertson,
whose hearing was defective, stepped
forward and fell into the shaft; or
else that the door did not catch as the
car rose and Mrs. Robertson, peering
down the shaft, was struck by the car
as it descended.
Mrs. Robertson was a daughter OF
the late Gen. Hugh Aiken, of Winns-
boro. Her only brother is DR.. Gayle
Aiken, a celebrated physician of New
Orleans, Mrs. Robertson's mother
died in New Orleans last winter. Her
children are the Misses Mary Gayle
Robertson and Minna Robertson, both
students at the College for Women,
Columbia. Miss Mary Gayle Robert
son is en- route here this evening,
from Kingstree, where she has been
visiting friends, and will not learn OF
her mothers tragic death until she
reaches home.
Mrs. Robertson was attended i'm
mediately after her accident by Drs.
Boozer and Lester, but there was moth
ing that could be done to save her
life. Her husband reached the hos
pital shortly before she passed away.
Mrs. Robertson had left the Timrod
library room, on the second floor of
the building, alone and it may never
be known Just how she happened to
fall to her death from the shaft. Mrs.
Robertson was one of the most charm-
ing women OF Columbia. She enter
tanned delightfully."-, and often in a
quiet way, and was very widely be-
loved.
