THINK FALL FASTENED
ARTHUR LITTMAN'S DEATH
Family Of Merchant May Make APP
pliCation For $4,000 From IN
surance Company

In an effort to establish a Causal
connection between an accident suf-
fcred by Arthur Littman of 12S
Brighton street, about six weeks
ago, and his sudden death last Fri
day morning. an autopsy has been
performed and data prepared which
may be the basis of an application
for the principal Of a $4,000 acct
dent insurance policy.
Medical Examiner Costello has dc
termined cause of death as hard
oning of the arteries and heart
trouble. Littman died at Is o'clock
Friday morning. falling to the floor
of his home after he had apparently
been in good health.
About six week ago, Iittman. who
conducted the Roseben Hat Shop at
%SS Main street, stepped into a trap
door opening and dropped Il feet
into the basement. He landed
standing upright. He was badly
jolted and was under doctors care
for several weeks during which time
an ailment similar to neuritis was
complained of by the patient. His
family leans to the belief that the
injury received in this accident
FASTENED his death.
