CRUSHED BY A LIFT.

FATALITY AT KIRKCALDIE AND

STAINS'

BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION,

AVELLINGTON

July 13

A fata] accident occurred at Kirkcaldie and Stains' premises this morning, when Said Garsbook, a tailor's presser, was crushed in the litis well. Garsbook was a married man. There were no eyewitnesses of the accident, but it appeared that deceased had operated the lift himself, without waiting for the storeman, as he usually did. The storeman found the lift 'a-mmed, and. investigating, found it held at the third storey by deceased's body, which was badly crushed. Garsbook worked on the third storey, and had apparently thrown off his bicycle there, and then returned to the lift to prevent it from going further.
