Woman Killed by Elevator in Arcade Building
In Cleveland a night-working mother of three, Mrs Sophia Harris aged 30, was crushed between the elevator floor and the third floor ceiling in the Arcade building. The accident, the second in a week, followed an earlier fatality of three-year-old Mary Ann Riel in the same building. A co-worker said the operator started the elevator from the third floor before Mrs Harris was fully inside. Police say the obsolete elevator could be started before doors closed.
