Patrolman James Elder was died from blood poisoning nearly five weeks after he was thrown from the running board of a truck of the Louisville Gas & Electric Company at Preston and Oak streets. He suffered a fractured hip, during the treatment of which blood poisoning set in.
Patrolman Elder had been investigating an accident at First and Oak Streets the day he was hurt and jumped on the running board of the truck for a lift to Preston Street, where he wished to interview a witness. At Preston Street the truck swerved, throwing him to the curbing.
