John d. Kesson, painter employed
by John C. Dodge, played into the hands
of fate and then played back into the
hands Of good fortune this forenoon IN a
fall that held little colony of NJ. & w.
r. workers breathless in the burning
sun. High up on the rear wall OF the
REYNOLDS block, Kesson was slapping on
the second coat of paint. Other en-
ployes OF Mr. Dodge were at work on
the same building, but kesson was the
only one to occupy ladder which he
had braced in turn against a ladder ~
ing horizontally on the first of two roofs
that extend from the main structure.
1t was when the fiat ladder slipped that
the perpendicular ladder on which VIZ
perched the painter toppled over. Mr..
Kesson was the first to reach the root
below and but for his quickness OF mind
in grasping a board, he would have fall
EN- to the next roof some Is feet below.
As IL was, the ladder struck him across
the chest. While the injury was pain
full. its results will not be serious. Far |
ther over there are no smaller roofs to |
break mans fall and had the accident |
been staged beyond the limits Of the |,
second shed roof. Kesson would have |
gone to the ground. distance of 40 feet
His fall took him down a distance of 10 |
feet.
