A flurry of excitement was caused just outside of the doors of the Frank trial, Monday forenoon, when John Cox, attached to the office of R. R. Arnold, defending Frank, was shocked by a live wire only partially insulated.

Cox noticed a pile of old rope soaked with elevator grease, smoldering in the corner of the elevator shaft. Fearing a fire that might destroy the court house, he strove to cut the wire, and was badly shocked. He recovered sufficiently at once however to clear away the old rope and remove the immediate danger of a serious fire.
