Carelessness on the part OF the

cause Of the accident in which three

building, State and Griswold-sts., by
the coroners jury, Tuesday morning.
The men were killed when an eleVat-
or cable parted.

ment did not have enough men TO
make proper inspection OF elevators,
one man having charge OF the inspec-
ton OF 5000 elevators. He said that
II would be impossible 10 inspect all
