WORKER KILLED Philip Bible, 38, Victim of Electric Shock in Scott's Crossing Mishap Philip Bible, 38, of Lima Route 3, Ohio Power Co., lineman, died shortly after noon Sunday in St. Rita's hospital of electric shock. Bible came in contact with a high voltage wire while at work near Scott's Crossing. Bible came in contact with the wire, co-workers explained, after he had climbed a pole to make repairs. He had fastened his safety belt, which prevented his falling to the ground, but a terrific surge of current kept him from breaking contact with the wire. Fellow linemen rushed to his assistance and applied artificial respiration. Bible was hurried to the hospital where doctors and hospital attendants labored unceasingly for hours to bring back life. Born in Bath-tp, where he attended school, Bible had spent most of his life in the Allen-co district. For many years he had made his home in Route 3, at Cole-st and Sherman-av.
