Myron E. Judd died attempting to save Angelo Peluso from suffocation, Cleveland, Ohio, July 14, 1913. Peluso, 45, entered a manhole in which was an odorless gas and was almost immediately overcome. Judd, 35, clerk, was told of the accident, and he ran to the manhole and immediately started to descend a ladder in it. He was ordered out, being told that there was gas in the sewer. Within a very brief time he again descended followed by a man who had reached the manhole with a coil of rope. Judd reached the bottom of the manhole but was overcome almost immediately. The other man was overcome before he reached the bottom, and he fell beside Judd and Peluso. All were dead when taken out an hour later by men who wore oxygen helmets. 11425-865
