MRS. WOMACK BURIED
IN BRANDON, MISS.
Daughter of Late Senator McLaurin
Laid to Rest-Was Electrocuted
in Jackson

Jackson. July 23.-(Special)--It hav-
ing been stated that Mrs. \. C. Wom-
acks hands were not burned by the
electric current that killed her last
Thursday night, physicians and friends
of the family made further investiga-
ton after the body was carried to
Brandon for interment, and found that
both hands and feet were badly bis
tered.
There does not seem to be any ques-
ton but that Mrs. Womacks death
was due to the electric shock. She
stood on a sheet of zinc when she went
to turn on the light and received the
full force of the current. Later the
son OF neighbor who stood on the
bare floor and turned on the same
light was severely shocked and almost
knocked down. 1t was thought at first
that in falling Mrs Womack had
struck her head against the corner of
the stove, and that that had something
to do with her death, but the wound
is declared to have been very slight
and superficial one. and could not by
any manner of means have caused
death.
a large number of Jackson friends
and relatives went to Brandon yester-
day to attend the funeral-one of the
saddest the old town has ever ex-
perienced.

brought the mortal remains of the de-
ceased to the chapel, and Immediately the
