New York, New York
Folding Bed Accident
December 1, 1910
FOLDING BED
Closed Up on Him. Fatally Injuring New York Man.
New York, Dec. 1.--Benjamin
Lott, a civil engineer, was fatally
injured at his home early this morning by the
collapse of a folding bed. The bed closed up on
him like a steel trap as he lay sleeping and
nearly guillotined him.
Members of his family heard his cries and
rescued him almost immediately. He was
unconscious and an ambulance surgeon hastily
summoned said that several vertebrae had been
dislocated and that he could not live.
