PHILLIPSBURG, N.J., May 23.---At the Whittaker Cement works, near here, the clothing of Charles Tilton, a carpenter, was caught in the shifting and he was whirled around at a terrible rate many times and fell through an opening in the side of the building, a distance of thirty feet, to the ground outside. Both arms were torn out of his body and his legs were a shapeless mass. He was dead when picked up. Peter Huff, who went to his assistance, had his left arm broken and his right thumb torn out ofhis hand.
The foregoing article with its lurid details made the national news appearing in the newspapers of New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Washington, D.C.
