LIFE

DELMAR, Del. – Jan 29 – Although 4400 volts of
electricity coursed through his body, Arras Kenney, 50 years old, Negro
section hand, is still alive and expected to recover from the severe burns of the head and body he suffered.
Kenney, a veteran of the Pennsylvania railroad
section gang, was helping make repairs to a railroad electric line when he came
into contact with the live wire and fell to the ground.
Physicians who attended him said rubbers he was
wearing saved his life.
