three large mirrors. so large that they
extend from the ceiling to within two feet

one corner of the piano, smashing the
mirror into fragments. While the smashing
process was taking place, Follett was en-
deavoring to get behind the piano to save
it from falling to the floor and had partly
succeeded In so doing when large piece
of the mirror fell on the back of his leg,
cutting n severe cash in 1t. The wound
bled profusely and the man suffered In.
