A Combination That Gave a Denver
Woman a Startling Shock.
l-'roiil the Jlocky Mountain New,
The diamond engagement and plain
band Wedding lings on uiu third finger
of the loft hand of Mrs. Clara Banker
formed the connecting link of a com
plete circuit for tin electrical current
yesterday morning when she attempt
ed to turn oil' an Incandescent light,
nnd almost caused her death by elec
trocution. Although she escaped with
her life, through a wonderful exhibi
tion of feminine presence of mind, her
left hnnd was very badly burned by
the current and a large piece of lleslt
torn from the Inside ot the little fin
ger. Mrs. Banker Is the wife of L. 13.
Banker, mnnnger of the Gano com
pany, and resides at !!1!05 Fast Colfax
avenue.
AVhen Mrs. Banker attempted to
grasp the button to turn off the light
the rings came lu contast with the
brass casings surrounding the upp.er
part of the globe. In un Instant she
fell the effects of the current, and
when she attempted to jerk her hand
away she found she could not remove
It. Shu attempted to pull her left from
the globe by using her right band to
Jerk with, but was unsuccessful. By
that time Mrs. Banker says her entire
left side began to grow numb, and she
threw herself backward with alt her
force. The sudden Jerk leleased her
hand from the Incandescent light fix
ture and broke the current. Mrs.
Banker threw' herself with such force
that she fell against the door two feet
behind her, cracking one of the panels.
The effect of the current going
through the woman's body almost com
pletely unnerved her, and for several
hours she required constant attention.
AA'hen she jerked her hand from the
light fixture a large piece of flesh from
the inside of the little finger was torn
nway. The other fingers and palm of
the hand were badly burned, the Ilesli
looking ns though it had been cooked
with carbolic acid.
