S. A. Gray, Elevator Man, In
stantIy Killed by Fall in the
AusteII Building.
SEEK SUSPICIOUS PERSON
Fellow Pilots Find Door to Open
ing Closed From Inside.
Suicide Denied,

Mystery surrounds a closed eleva-
tor door, the entrance to the freight
elevator shaft through which S A.
Gray, 25 years old, plunged nine sto-
ries to death in the Austell Building
at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The door was opened by Gray. An
instant later he fell headlong to his
death, Not two minutes afterward
persons on the ninth floor, attracted
by the screams of the falling man,
rushed to the elevator shaft and found
the door closed.
1t would have been impossible for
Gray to have closed the elevator door
before he fell. The shaft engulfed
him like a fash. Investigation
showed that the door would not have
closed automatically. 1t works only
with pressure.
That some person closed the door
Immediately after Gray's tragic
plunge is the belief Of building en-
ployees.
Hunt Suspicious Person.
B. G. Dawson and c. ], Deckner, ele
vator man in the building, were the
first to realize the significance of the
closed door. They instituted a care
full search of the ninth floor, but
were unable to find any suspicious
persons there. The police were noti-
fed of the mysterious circumstance
and further investigation was made
without avail
When the investigators made their
report at police headquarters, Chief
Beavers ordered q further probe,
which will be projected Sunday.
Fellow employees of Gray. who was
also an elevator man in the build
ing, declare that his death was not
suicide.
Gray, known around the Austell
building as Gus" lived at No. %
Markham avenue, and had worked in
the Austell Building as elevator man
and night Waterman for five years.
Until Saturday morning Gray had
been night Waterman. Friday he
asked that he be transferred to day
work on a passenger elevator, and
because of his long service in the
building his request was granted and
he took up his new duties the fol-
lowing morning. He was very pleased
with the arrangement.
Bones Crushed by Fall.
All day Saturday he was kept busy
talking to his many friends, who have
offices in the building. over his new
job.
Shortly before ) O'Clock Gray had
told Dawson that he was going "up"
for a few minutes
Fifteen minutes later the scream
and thud Of Gray's body as it hit
the freight car at the bottom of the
shaft were heard. His car stood on
the ninth floor, the door open. His
coat was in his car.
DR.. o. F. Colum, No, 406 Austell
Building. took the body from the top
of the freight car. H. A. Cox who
was running the car, assisted him
GRAY died as he was laid on the floor
His head was crushed md nearly ev
cry bone in his body was broken.
Gray's body was taken to the chapel
OF the Barclay & Brandon Company
and will be sent to Sunnyside Ga.
Monday at noon for funeral and in
terment
Gray lived with a sister, Mrs. r. L
Griffin, and was unmarried. Mrs,
Griffin was Frustrated when told OF
her brothers death.
