Gastonia, N.C., July 6—Robert McDaniel, an employee of the Brown Harry Company, was instantly killed this afternoon about 2 o’clock while unloading a car of stone at the Piedmont and northern yards. A negro helper was also injured, but it was not known how seriously.
McDaniel was operating a derrick at the time of the fatal accident. The boom is said to have come in contact with a live wire which formed a circuit that sent the entire voltage of the high powered wire into McDaniel’s body.
