CORONER INVESTIGATES FATAL ACCIDENT

Florence was not to have anything to do with operating the car when it was to be moved.
 Florence had no chance of escape for he was standing on the fender when he put the trolley arm on the wire and the sudden jump of the car. caught him. The controller was on SO far that the ear jumped forward instead Of gathering way slowly soon as the electric current reached the motors.
 Trolleymen who were discussing the accident suggested three ways which might account for the controller being found on, viz: that it might have been left on by the man who last left the car; second, that the car might have been tempered with after it was left standing; third. that Florence. who had had little experience in this line of work. might have jumped onto the car and moved the controller himself before he put the trolley arm OH; then. finding that the ear did not respond. Jumped Off to put the trolley arm on the wire without turning the controller off.
