                  PROSTRATED BY HER HUSBAND'S TRAGIC DEATH

      Wife of Frank Lawless, Killed In Baltimore, In Serious Condition

Grief stricken at news of the sudden death of her husband, Frank Lawless, near 
Baltimore yesterday, Mrs. Lawless is today prostrate at her home, No. 1111 Holt 
Street. The body will arrive in Norfolk tomorrow morning and funeral 
arrangements will then be completed.
Mrs. Lawless received news of her husband's death last night and today is 
surrounded by sympathetic friends and neighbors. She had a letter from Mr. 
Lawless yesterday morning and was expecting to see him soon.
From what could be learned of the death of Mr. Lawless he fell from a 
scaffolding at the Western Maryland Railway Company's pier at Port Covington, 
where he was at work as a steel structural worker. He was engaged in boring 
holes in a steel column, it is said, when he lost his balance and plunged from 
the high platform to the water below, striking his head on a piling of the pier.
Frank Lawless was 39 years old and a member of the sheet metal workers. He was 
also a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church and Norfolk Aerie Fraternal Order of 
Eagles.
Besides his wife Mr. Lawless is survived by twin sons, Frank and John, four 
years old; five brothers, M.D. Lawless, of Baltimore; P.A., with the British 
Tobacco Co., in Europe; John W., of Lynchburg; J.J., of Cradock and C.A. of the 
U.S.N. and four sisters, Mrs. B.A. Holland, of Portsmouth; Mrs. T.B. McCarty, of 
Roanoke; Mrs. I.R. Rucker, of Lynchburg and Mrs. W.I. Manning, of Baltimore.
Mr. Lawless left Norfolk for Baltimore about two weeks ago and secured 
employment as a metal worker. Mrs. Lawless said today she had heard from him 
every other day since he left and that he was getting along well.
