KILLED UNDER
FREIGHT CARS
Frank Defazio Jr., of Port
Reading Found Dead.

Frank Defazio, Jr., of Port Read
ing, was ground to death under q
train of freight cars at the Gold
schmidt DEFINING Company's plant
in Roosevelt about 2 o'clock this
morning. His heart was puncturel.
his right arm severed and his left
arm twisted and broken. Coroner
James J.. Flynn investigated, u
was unable to learn Of the exact
ann in which the mar met death.
This will probably continue to re-
main a mystery. He gave a permit
for removal of the body.
DefaZio was employed as chief
hammer man at the Goldschmldt
plant. He was twenty-nine years
old and Is survived by a wife and
six-year-old son and by his father
who lives at Port Reading. Ac-
cording to the coroner's investiga-
lions Defazio probably met death
under a train of cars which General
Foreman Herman Wedderburg ran
through a part of the plant shortly
before 2 O'Clock this morning. De-
fazio was last seen about midnight,
but it was then thought he was
about the plant.
Coroner Flynn Is of the opinion
the mar was climbing over or crawl
ing under the freight cars which
were started by the general fore
man. Mr., Wedderburg found the
mutilated body of the victim about
2 o'clock. 1t is believed death was
instantaneous.
