MRS. WILLIAMS SUES LODI FOR DEATH OF HER HUSBAND
LODI (San Joaquin Co.), Jan 13 -
Mrs. Ethel Williams has filed a complaint against the city of Lodi to
recover $20,000 damages for the death of her husband, Henry B. Williams, who
was accidentally killed by falling from a ladder while in the employ of the
city last July.
Williams was adjusting an incandescent light in the center of the street at
the corner of Elm and School streets. The ladder on which he stood was held
in place by a guy rope fastened to a tree. The top of a buggy in which a
young woman was driving caught the guy rope, throwing down the ladder on
which Williams was standing. He fell, striking the ground on his head and
shoulders. He was not thought to be seriously injured at the time, but died
that night.
The trustees discussed the matter and decided something should be done for
the widow, but it was allowed to drop.
The name of the young woman who was in the buggy that was the cause of the
accident has never been learned. At the time she drove back to where
Williams was but, learning that he was not seriously injured, drove away
again.
W.H. CARLIN of Marysville is the attorney for Mrs. Williams, and it is said
that an effort will be made to show negligence on the part of the city
officials.
