Source, Granville, N.Y. Sentinel--Fri. Jan. 23, 1914. FAIR HAVEN, VT. ASKS $ 15,000 DAMAGES. Slate Company Sued Because of Death of Employee in Quarry. Joseph Labotte, as administrator of the estate of Louise(sic) Pette of Fair Haven, Vt.,through Philip M. Phelps of Fair Haven as counsel, has brought suit in Rutland (Vt) county court against the Old English Slate company of Fair Haven to recover damages of $15,000, alleging that Mr. Pette met his death through negligence of the defendant company. It is set up in the declaration that while Pette was assisting in raising some heavy blocks of slate from a quarry on April 29, 1913, a block struck some debris near the top of the opening, causing a mass of earth and stone to fall onto Pette and also causing the apparatus to break so that the stone itself fell, crushing the man so that he died next day. Faulty machinery is the ground on which suit is based. Pette is survived by his wife and three children.
