The thumb and two fingers of the left hand were badly j burned and his face and breast were dls- j colored and swollen. Dr. Phillips said in his opinion death was due to ^ti electric shock. \ The most important testimony was that given by Walter Entriken, who was employed in the parage at the time of -the tragedy. He testified as follows^ " I was working alone, lying under my ear removing the muffler. Charlie was not working but lie was sitting outside the garage. A little after 0 o'clock he came in and asked me how near I was done and as I replied my

knee struck the fender of the ear, and F I saw a flash. I was so badly shocked | that 1 didn't know what had happened. .Everything was dark and when I F 'readied for the muffler there was a j sudden glare^of light. I -saw Charlie h lying on the floor. I quickly turned b .off the switch and then ran to Charlie 1 land when I picked him -up there was c I a gurgling sound in his throat. I car- ii iried him to a oot Where he generally ii 1 slept and summoned Dr. Phillips. I did a I not realize that he was dead but 1 thought he bad fallen and bumped, his ^ Coroner Thompson then exhibited a I vest and jumpers which had two holes ^ ' 1 burned in them. It was learned that ^ i Charlie had worn the vest for the first ( | time but no definite information could . ! be had as to the holes unless, as Mr. . lEutriken testified, he had. fallen on | ' | the wire. » ' Frank Hewitt, who was near the ga- ( I rage at the time of the accident said ( [ j that there were no heavy flas "I lightning but the wind was blowing | pretty hard.
