Edwin Hoyt, 21, lineman in the em- | ploy of the Westerly Automatic Tele: phone company for the past three | years, was electrocuted while at work on a pole, Friday afternoon, at the Red Bank Crossing on the Watch Hill road. He was standing on a pair of messenger wires and when he took hold of a wire above formed a circuit and it is believed received a shock of 2300 voltage. The points of contact were in his left hand and left foot. Just where the power came from is not known, said Dr. Champlin, president of the telephone company, as it may have come from miles away and surcharged the wire or wires, of which young Hoyt made complete the circuit. He fell on the message wires and his dead body was neld there until lowered to the ground by Charles Clark of the Westerly Light and Pow- er company, and others. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E. Hoyt. Dr. Scanlon, medical examiner view- ed the body and ordered removal to the Murphy morgue, after making search- ing inquiries as to the fatal Dr. Scanlon is continuing investigation and may refer the case to the coroner. It is said that the telephone men went to the crossing to remove the woven rope screen, placed hetween the wires to prevent contact.
