518 - L. Jan. 8:4/4 - An accident yesterday at the manufactory of Seaborn
and Hempsey resulted in the death of Edward Lanckton, 60. Mr. Lanckton's
persistent requests for personal use of the circular saw finally resulted
in his securing permission, and the accident occurred when the mitten
he was wearing caught on the saw, throwing wood into it, which bounced
back against his head. Mr. Lanckton died within three hours. (4)
