Earl CLARK, another employee, observed that Shaw halted abruptly and grabbed at his chest. Clark ran to the office to smmon the assistance of Barry PASS, yard manager. Shaw was able to walk to the Pass car and be taken to the hospital. The death announcement was made by Dr. Dean STINSON, county coroner, who was at the hospital on another accident cvase. Arteries leading from the heart to the lung were severed, causing the death. Mr. Pass said the fatally injured man had worked for many years in salvage yard business, had used the shearing machine often and was fully familiar with its operations.
