widow of John C. Oliver, who died
while working in his garage Septem-

Oliver was found dead beside car
on which he was working. An cleo
trio drop light used by automobile
mechanics was lying nearby on the
floor still lighted. Mrs. Anne Hitch
cock Oliver, his widow, brought suit
against the city for $4,000 by reason
of its owning the electric plant.
Hearing of the suit was noteworthy

testified, two for Mrs. Oliver and
two for the city, with the usual con-
slict of opinion.
The city disputed the plaintiffs
that he had been killed
" an electric shock and argued he

n the case comprised 1000 pages

7hich he met death. A circuit court
