As he ascended the pole J. H. Woodcock, in charge of the work, asked Wattels if he understood "hot" stuff and was in formed that the workman had had 20 years' experience with urh wires and that he wag not afraid for results. He had succeeded In tie- j ing in one wire and was attempting to get hold of another when he in advertently eame in contact with the other live wire, the contact forming a circuit which way carried through his body, the result being that he was killed instantly. He had hold of one wire at the time and the current passing through his hand burned the fingers nearly off, caus ing the body to sag and fall to the cross arm, rt being held there by his me oeit. Quitea number of peopie caw the names issuing from the body and many of them ran tn th Woodcock went to the power plant and shut the current off, after which Earl Crabtree "went un, tho r,i loosened the body and lowered it to tne ground: There is was discover ed that Wattles' left shoulder has been in contact with the' live wire, a spot a3 large as a man's hand hav ing, been burned clear to the bone, the flesh, being lieterally "cooked.
