William Luckett. of Philadelphia.
Pa. aged % years, an employe OF the
General Electric Co., of Schenectady,
N. Y, met death yesterday morning
about 6 80 o'clock at the substation on
the Paris and Lexington Interurban
line near this city, when he came in
contact with a high tension electric
wire.
Luckett, who was an expert electri-
cien, had been in the employ of the
electric company for some time and
had been engaged for about five weeks
with force of men in installing new
plant at the substation. Yesterday
morning he was working around what
| is known as the high tension oil switch
and it is supposed he accidentally came
in contact with live wire.
The current On the switch, it is said,
had been turned off at intervals DUR
ing the morning and that the unfor-
tunate victim of the accident knew of
this fact. Th last time the current
was turned on 1t remained OIL for fully
three-quarters of an hour. When
Luckett came in contact with the cleo
trio current 33, 900 volts passed throug h
bis body.
| Notwithstanding the fact that the
current was sufficient to produce in
stant death he was kept alive by means
of artificial restoratives Tor two and
one-half hours, although he was in an
Unconscious condition during the en-
tire time.
The first that was known of the acci-
dent was when workmen who were in
the same room were attracted by the
arcing of the wires and going to inves-
tigate found the body where it, had fall
en- when touched by the live wire. In
the room were four other workmen in
cluding the foreman of the electricians
engaged IN installing the plant.
Luckett was frightfully burned about
the body, his left hip and shoulder
bearing evidence of the effect of tn
deadly current while his face was
scared by the heat of the arcing wires
and in several places the skin was
broken.
Several persons who were in the vi
cInity stated the flash produced by the
contact could be seen for some dis
tance from the power house.
When the accident occurred Luckett
was engaged in saDdpapering a part
of the brass work near the switch, the
massive machinery obscuring him from
the view of..his fellow workmen.
Immediately after the discovery of
the accident was made by the compan-
ions of the unfortunate man, phvsici-
ans were summoned from this scity,
Drs. Fithian and Daugherty respond
ing to the call and they administered
to his injuries until his sufferings were
relieved by death.
The substation, w ere the accident
occurred does not belong to the Ken
lucky Traction and Terminal Co.. as
it has not yet been completed and
turned over by the General Electric
Co.
Coroner Rudolph Davis went to The
scene shortly after the death of Luck
EFT and conducted the investigation.
finding the facts as above stated. The
remains were then removed to Lexlng.

and his relatives: in philadelphia noti.
fled of his death. The body will be
sent to that city for interment.
