Yale club Of Chicago took the ini-

Two Iron Workers,
Hurled from Machine,
Die from Injuries, One
Instantly and Other at
Hartford Hospital On
Way to Jobs at Capital
John M. Henry of Milford
and Louis Der0sa of New
York Victims When
Operator Loses Control
Telephone Co. Truck
Becomes Ambulance.

Apparently catapulted from the
motorcycle they were riding when the
rear tire blew out, John M. Henry OF
~ Naugatuck avenue. Milford. was
killed instantly and Louis Derosa,
believed to be OF 1873 Madison ave-
nue., New York. died q short time
later at the Hartford hospital at the
result Of an accident shortly after
8 o'clock this morning on the Berlin
turnpike near the Beckley crossing.
Each OF the men received badly
fractured skull and evidence at the
scene Of the fatality pointed to the
fact that the driver of the machine
lost control when the tire exploded.
Henry was found dead in the road
by Emil Steele of Burnside. one Of
the first to reach the scene. Derosa
was picked up unconscious and was
taken to the Hartford hospital in a
Southern New England Telephone
Co. truck. He died a few minutes
after being admitted to the in
stitution.
Both men were journeyman iron
union 424 Of New Haven. They had
completed job In New Haven last
week and were going to Hartford
TO start work on a new building on
Capitol avenue. Derosa carried q
motorcycle operators license In his
pocket and IN believed to have been
operating the machine.
Constable George Kanupka Of
Berlin was called to the scene Of
.he accident to investigate and he.
as we'll as Mr.. Steele, advanced the
theory that the rear tire had blown
out, causing the driver to lose con-
troll of the vehicle. The officer
found marks on the highway show
ing where the blowout had evident
iy occurred. The machine was
found some distance away. The
tire was completely of. Henry was
thought to have been sitting on the
rear mudguard and holding on to
Derosa as the machine was without
a rear seat or q carrier.
