HEART ATTACK FATAL TO
E. Z. TOWER THIS MORNING
Failed To Rally From Sinking
Spell at $3.50 O'clock; Had Inn
proved Following Operation
IN HOSPITAL TWO WEEKS

Edward 2. Tower, aged SO to-
day, and Clerk of the Circuit
Court for Garrett County since
1887, died at Memorial Hospital,
Cumberland, Md, at 600 o'clock
this morning after having been
a patient in the institution since
April 20 where he was admitted
as a surgical patient following
a brief illness as the result of a
perforated intestine.
Following the operation, which was
performed the day of his admittance
to the hospital, Mr.. Tower had shown
remarkable improvement, according
to reports received here by members
of his family and his friends, but suf-
fered a sinking spell at $50 this
morning from which he failed to rally
and death, probably due to a heart
attack, resulted within half an hour.
Mr.. Tower was born in Oakland on
May -, 1868, and was therefore SO
years old. He was the son of William
H. and Rebecca Totten Tower. His
education was such as the public
schools of his boyhood here afforded,
supplemented by wide general reading
and private study. Having determined
to enter the legal profession, he be-
came a student in the Office of John
W. Witch, then States Attorney for
Garrett county, and was admitted to
the Garrett county bar in 1884.
He did not enter into the active
practice of law, however, but became
assistant to his father in the Clerks
office. When the senior Mr.. Tower
died in 1887, Mr.. Tower was appointed
temporary clerk, pending the fall cleo
ton. In the following November he
was elected by good majority on the
Republican ticket, and again, in 1898,
and ever since that time he was regu-
larly chosen by the citizens of the
county as the term of his incumbency
expired.
The deceased was member Of the
local Presbyterian church and was also
a member of the lodge of Odd Fellows
when that organization fiourished in
Oakland a number of years ago.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, two sons, Thurl, student in
the University of Maryland, and
Roger, a member of the Maryland
State Police force. He is also sur
vived by two sisters, Mrs. Edward I.
West and Mrs. G. A. Fraley, and by
one brother, Charles A. Tower, all of
Oakland. A sister, Miss Cora Tower,
died number of years ago.
AS public official Mr.. Tower was
thorough in his administration of the
office which he so long occupied and
was esteemed by every one in the
county for his obliging manner and
attention to detail.
His remains will be brought to Oak
land this afternoon. Funeral services
will be held on Saturday afternoon at
300 o'clock in the Presbyterian church
with the pastor, Rev. Walter B. Brock,
officiating. Interment will be in Oak
land cemetery.

Testimony in the $4,000 damage
suit of Mrs. Flota Bice Hartman, Of
Washington, D. c., against the Kelley
Construction company, of Clarksburg
w. Va, was opened Tuesday before
the grand jury in United States Dis
trict Court, at Cumberland.
The plaintiffs testimony was COM
pleted Tuesday, and four witnesses
for the defendant company also testi-
fed. Mrs. Hartman seeks damages
for alleged personal injuries, suffered
on the night of November 16, 1929
when car in which she was riding
was said to have struck barrier or
the road between Kitzmiller and Deer
Park. The road was under construc-
ton, and the plaintiff claims the con-
struction firm had no lights on the
barrier.
Mrs. Hartman was riding with
Arthur Oswell, %, years old, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Oswell, of Wash
ington, D. c., and Mt. Lake Park, fol
whom Mrs. Hartman worked. Oswell
who was driving the car, was killed
in the crash. His parents entered
suit against the construction firm
asking $4,000 damages. This suit
will also be tried during the present
term of Federal Court in Cumberland
The two suits were filed in the Gar
rett County Circuit Court, in May
1880, and were removed to the Fed
eraI Court at the request of the de-
Sendant company, because of the fact
that the plaintiffs resided in Washing
ton, and the construction firm is To-
Gated in Clarksburg, w. Va.
E. R. Jones, of Oakland, counsel
for the plaintiff, declared in his open
ing statement that Mrs. Hartman
who was at that time Miss Flota Bice
of Deer Park, Md, was employed by
the Oswell family in Washington, anc
left the latter city with young Oswel
on the afternoon of November 16
1929. She planned to visit her home
at Deer Park. About $3.50 O'Clock
that night, the machine crashed into
the barrier of heavy logs on the roao

ment and he turned it down. Parma
