Eight children from 12 years to 4 months are motherless as a result of Mrs. Josephine Pint, aged 30, of 126 Overbeck St., Northside, being electrocuted by a fallen radio aerial which had become entangled with high tension wires of the Duquesne Light Company in the yard of her home at 11:30 a.m today.
Mrs Pint, said witnesses, stepped from her rear door, became entangled in the wires and died immediately. Her left leg was burned off at the knee and her back seared to the spinal cord, before she could be moved.
Mom said that right before stepping outside, her mother warned the kids to stay inside because it was dangerous.
