DEATH OF STUDENT
IN LIFT UNSOLvED
Coroner Awaits Report Be-
fore Issuing Certificate
and Calls Jury.

Mystery surrounding the manner In
which Harvey Crowel, l3-year-oio
Powell Junior High School Stuoent'
was crushed to death in a supposedly
"foolproof' automatic elevator Tues
day night, probably never Will be
cleared up, Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald declared today.
District building and elevator in
spectors announced, after thorough
investigation, that the lift serving resi-
dents of the six-story building at 1911
Georgia avenue, where the youngster
Lived, performed exactly as intended.
DR.. Macdonald explained that the
boy, only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Roscoe
H. Crowell, was crushed between the
floor of the elevator and the front OF
the shaft. An autopsy revealed that
his chest, abdomen and pelviS showed
evidence of tremendous pressure ex-
erted before his body was dislodged
and fell to the bottom Of the pit.
Before issuing a certificate. however,
DR.. Macdonald awaited report from
Joseph A. Genevese, District manager
of the General Elevator Co., who was
called by the resident manager of the
apartment house.
GeneveSe succeeded in opening the
door of the stalled lift and, while
testing it, noted blood stains on wall
Of the shaft, between the second and
third floorS-the first indication OF
the tragedy, which had occurred more
than two hours before. Harvey, who
was president of his class, had left
his apartment on the second floor a
few minutes before pm. to deliver
magazines to six customers in the
building.
How the accident occurred may
never be known" DR.. Macdonald said.
THE elevator is designed to run only
when both inner and outer doors are
closed. It was in perfect working
order Immediately after the accident.
The space between the doors is so
small it is almost inconceivable that
even a 13-year- boy could get be-
tween them. The only thing I can
say is that the accident happened" !"
A coroner'S jury was to be sworn in
today, to be held in readiness in the
event an inquest should be deemed
necessary by DR.. Macdonald.
