THOMAS MESSINA’S SKULL CRUSHED BY ELEVATOR Laborer Killed While at Work on Con- struction of Hotel Addition. Thomas Messina of 25 Shaw street New London, a laborer in the employ of the Fuller Construction Co. Was struck and killed by a work eievator at the new addition to the. Mohican hotel in Meridian street, New London, Thursday morning. He died on the way to the Lawrence hospital in the hospital's ambulance, from a broken neck and fracture of the skull The accident happened at 3.15, soon after work was begun for the day. In the course of construction of the addition which is 11 stories high two elevators are used for carrying mate- rial and freight, one elevator going! up while the other is descending Messina was at work on the fourth: floor and was assisting in loading and unloading the elevators. Thinking that one of the elevators was on one of the lower stories, he thrust his head into the elevator shaft to watch it come up. Instead the elevator was above and going down struck Messina on the back of the head. Messina never knew what - struck him. He was knocked to the floor by the terrific force of the blow from the' elevator which is run at express speed and rendered unconscious in- stantly. Fellow workmen saw the accident and rushed to the stricken man’s as- sistance. Medical aid_was hurriedly sent for ‘and Dr. W. D. Cronin re- sponded. A glance was sufficient to tell the physician that the man was seriously and probably mortally wounded. The Lawrence hospital ambulance was called and the injured man was started for the hospital. He died, however, before reaching the in- stitution. In addition to the broken neck and the fracture of the skull, Messina's jaw was broken and he received sev- eral ugly scalp wounds and other in- juries about the head. Messina was frightfully cut up aen the sad and tace. Medical Examiner H. H. Heyer was notified of the death and viewed the body.
