LOCKJAW CAUSED BY A SPLINTER
“Accidental death” was the verdict recorded at an inquest at the London Hospital on George Frederick Linit (43), a shipping clerk, of Grays (Essex), who died from lockjaw. The evidence was that Linn received what he believed at the time was a slight, scratch on the left thumb from a piece of wire. A small splinter of wood tentered the thumb, and set up tetanus, of so acute a form that nothing could be done for him.
