KILLED TESTING
AN X-RAY MACHINE
DIR. A. NJ. Clapp of Spring
field, Mass, Alone When
Accident Took Place
GETS FULL FORCE
OF $4,000 VOLTS
Had Recently Bought the Apparatus,
Which Was Connected with the Elec-
trio Lighting Current by Small Wire
Native of Northampton.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. l.
While testing an electrical machine for
xrays, DR.. Arthur NJ. Clapp Of ~
Buc bingham street was instantly killed
early last evening IN his Office, Chest
nat street, by electrocution. Owing
to the machine being Of very high
power Or. Clapp received a shock of
$4,000 volts, in tho opinion Of DR..
Edward J. Mahoney, the medical ex-
aminer, and after an investigation ne
had no hesitation in stating that death
was due to accidental electrocution. No
one was in the office at the time. DR..
Clapp's body was found lying on the
floor of the inner office with his head
on the door threshold and his hands
grasping the handles of the machine
which was running with all power on.
The machine was one that DIR. Clapp
had lust bought of the estate of III"
late Dr. Edward NJ. Brown, and it is
believed that he was testing it Tor
the first time with the intention OF is
ing il for work in the Springfield hos
pital. The machine was a Morgan
high frequency coil. 1t was connect
cd with the electric light current by
means Of wire running outside
through the wall.
T, While this current was only 10 volt
age Or. Nahonev had an electrical OK
pert inspect the machine after the ac-
eidcnt and he said that while the out
side current was not of sufficient pow
ed to have killed Or. Clapp, yet joined
with machine OF such high voltag"
and run to IFS capacity the 10000 volts
received could easily be fatal.
/ Since this x-ray apparatus was
strange to DR.. Clapp the opinion is eX-
\ pressed by some physicians who are
familiar with this class Of work that
4 DR.. Clapp did not pay sufficient atten-
h tIon to the rheostat or transformer that
regulates the current and its power
was much higher than he expected.
