Ernest E EATON and Christian WARNER, car inspectors for the
Pennsylvania company, at Wall Station, were badly crushed yesterday
afternoon while at work under a car. EATON was killed instantly and
WARNER died a few hours later at the West Penn hospital. The car
under which they were working was hoisted on jacks. A number of
freight cars were pushed against the car, throwing it from its
supports. Both men were under the wheels and were caught before they
could escape.
