Widow Victors Tornado Verdict in Lorain Case

A twelve member jury in Judge A R Webber's common pleas court awarded Sophia Michalak compensation from American Ship Building Co of Lorain. Weekly payments of 18 75 until 6500 total plus 3150 funeral expenses. Michalski, husband of Sophia, was killed in the Lorain Tornado of 1924 while working at the plant and attempting to shut a door against the wind. The Ohio Industrial Commission had earlier refused compensation deeming the death an act of God. The verdict rests on the claim that Michalski's employment placed him in greater danger than the general public.
