- Details of Event
- Run over and killed by a journey of loaded trams, breaking through a door of which he was the attendant. He seems to have forgotten to open it in time and was standing in the middle of the roadway watching a mason at work on an airbridge. A manhole had been cut in the side and a rope attached to the door which could be opened and closed when the attendant was in the manhole.
