Sad Death of 
Beverly Young Man 
Not for months has the death of a 
young man plunged the community in- 
to such universal grief as did the an- 
noucement on Monday evening of the 
frightful accident which cost Perley K. 
Dodge, son of Mrs. Andrew Dodge of 
Federal street, his life; for it seemed 
to all that it was most untimely and 
unfortunate, coming, as it did, just be- 
fore the close of atechnical course for 
which he had made most ardent and 
industrious preparation. The facts of 
the accident divulge that, in company 
with Percy E. Tilson of Concord Junc- 
tion and Prof. John C. Damon of the 
Massachusetts Institute of Techno- 
logy, he was engaged in making experi- 
ments with the powerful steam tur- 
bines at the plant of the United Shoe 
Machinery Corporation and had al- 
ready laid wires from the engines to 
the testing apparatus, all this being 
done with the purpose of preparing a 
thesis at the Institute. Everything 
was prepared and the companions had 
left the room for a moment, when re- 
turning, they found the lifeless body 
of Dodge. Death had been caused by 
electrocution, the body in some way 
having come into connection with the 
wiring, which madea circuit through 
which a currant of 570 volts passed. 
Death was instantaneous. Dodge 
was one of the keenest young men 
that ever graduated from the Beverly 
High school, receiving his diploma in 
1902, having taken the scientific 
course and having one of the class 
parts at the commencement exercises. 
He immediately entered the Institute 
where he took the course in electrical 
engineering and proved, by industry,
