IS INVESTIGATED Ttl Aoctdcnt Bolt of Grounding Of Circuit When Mas Grasped Bulb, Mju Claim Agent Boynton. Although 10' day b have lapKed elii' Albert Nachtigall was ktlled by else ' trlclty at. he lay in the bathtub in hia home, 668' Lexington avenue, Thanksgiving morning, no final ami definltn explanation haa been reached am to the reaaon. Out of many' the or lea, tho conaenoua of opinion is that th young utreetoar conductor's death reaulted merely fronj the normal elec trlccurrent flowing through the wires rn the' regular way the danger and death coming because he waa lying in tin bathtub filled with water. InHpectionM were made after Uhe accident by C:ity Electrical Inspector Dunlap, Coroner Sam Klocum and elfic trlclana of the Portland Railway, Light A Power company. Of -the three inde pendent inveatlgatlona, that ordered by the power company waa made firat.- Mr. Dunlap' did not reach the scene for H hours after the shock and half a clay after the company men began the . aearch for the cause. -Numerous Inquiries have reached The Journal regarding the cause of Nachtlftall's death. Many household ers believed that they, too. were liable to jUKt Kuoh scclrtcnts and they sought Information that would protect them. Current Kay Have Gipunded, B. V. Boynton, claim agent of the P. II. L. & V. Co.. said the young man's deatli uncjupHtion-ably 'was caused by tils "grounding" tiie circuit when he clulchml the light bulb at tached to on extension cord as he lay In the water. The voltage that passed through his body figured little in the case, he said, because the current kept flowing from the time he formed the contact until -the wire " was Jerked loose at the, ceiling and the circuit broken. The . long extension cord is blamed entirely, because it had so much - slack that the galvanic recall of Nachtigall's muscles could not break the contact. One theory held by some is. that the transformer at the pole was defective that It "leaked" and allowedta high oltage 'to pass over from the primary to the secondary circuit and ffcw into . tlie wires into the boy's, body. Elec tric company inspectors say their ex amination disclosed no such condition. City Inspector Dunlap did not inspect the transformer at all. Private elec tricians doubt that such a condition slated, becajuse they say it would have resulted in damage to the light ing equipment. Opinions at Variance. ' Another theory that "a 'around' ex , la ted at some point on the circuit has been advanced. Such a "ground" act ually was found In a neighboring house served by the same circuit, consisting a Dare wire touching a eas pipe. - ' iv , m t x i '')", . 3 ' ' ' .

Coroner Slocum Bald he made no effort to go Into the technique of elec tricity when he made his investiga tion, because he had that looked into Toy experts about a year ago when a man was electrocuted in his .base ment by touching a gas pipe and light globe at the same time. It was found In that case that oIy the 110-volt current passed through him. but it was continued long enough to cause death. - The coroner believes the same Is true in this case. Besides, he: said, the Inspection of wires is not his province. City Electrical Inspector Dunlap being the one responsible for that. Mrs. Nichtlgall. mother of the young man, has abandoned any further in vestigation, r She denied, however, that her son's health had been bad and is convinced that his death resulted from causes outside himself.
