Syracuse, NY Scaffold Accident, Sept 1912
FREY FELL FIFTEEN FEET FROM SCAFFOLD
Joseph Frey of No. 206 Madison street fell fifteen feet from a scaffold in the Bell Telephone building at the corner of South State and East Washington streets last night. His head was cut and he suffered from a number of bruises. Frey was taken to St. Joseph's hospital in Burns & O'Brien's ambulance, but was later returned to his home.
Frey is employed by the Western Electric company, which has a contract for installing a switchboard in the telephone building. He worked all day yesterday and last night up to the time when the accident occurred. He was on the scaffold alone. In stepping back to place a board on the wall his foot slipped and he tumbled to the state floor. Physicians worked over Frey for half an hour before he regained consciousness.
