FELL UNDER MOVING CAR; ESCAPES WITH BRUISES
Three cars of a moving train on the Bath Beach line passed over the body
of Philip MILLER, a young Russian, last evening, and did not harm him,
save inflicting a few slight contusions. After the mishap, when the train
had passed over him, MILLER picked himself up and insisted on leaving
for his home.
MILLER, who is 24 years old and lives at 72 Varet street, attempted to
board a motor train at Bay Nineteenth street and Bath avenue, going
toward Coney Island and carrying the regular rush hour crowd. As the
Russian reached out to grasp the hand rail of the first car, his foot
slipped,
and he fell. A portion of his trouser leg caught on the car.
The train rounded the curve at Fifteenth avenue, and the people standing
by gave a cry of horror as the body of the young man was thrown directly
beneath the train. They held their breath, expecting to see the track
covered with blood, and the mangled form of the Russian, but such was
not the case. MILLER landed between the tracks and out of reach of the
wheels. Ambulance Surgeon LIVINGSTON, of the Norwegian Hospital,
was summoned and found that MILLER had sustained only a few bruises.
The young man left for his home unassisted.
