Richmond Laborer Survives 30 Minute Burial By Dirt
Paul Locket of Richmond narrowly escaped death when a sewer ditch collapsed burying him under hundreds of pounds of dirt for about half an hour. He freed himself by lifting dirt with a shovel and breathing under his arm until rescuers arrived. Nearby workers and the city’s rescue squad aided in the dig and offered oxygen, which he declined. Separately, Cronin failed to drum up support to oust City Manager Arthur Owens amid a dispute over tearing down a fruit stand on city property managed by E F Cole.
