Description
Julius Jesse Jones was a laborer employed by the Texas Bitulithic Company. On July 23, 1937, he was working with a dragline crew on the Kilgore-Carlisle highway in Rusk County, Texas. His crew had been working about four hours placing tile in a culvert when the operator of the dragline, in attempting to place another section of tile in the culvert, swung his metal crane or boom in contact with or in close proximity to highly charged electric lines belonging to Southwestern Gas & Electric Company. When the crane made contract with the wires, a current of electricity flowed down the metal cable of the dragline and instantly killed Jonels. Texas Bitulithic company was a subscriber to the Texas Workmens Compensation Act, and American General Insurance Company was its insurance carrier. The surviving wife and children of Jones were granted compensation under the provisions of the Workmens Compensation Act, and american General Insurance Company assumed liability for compensation benefit payments and funeral expenses.
