  General Notes:

Accident at Maglemølle
Carpenter Lars Nielsen, Præstestrædet, killed.

Næstved. At approximately 7:30 am this morning, there was a serious accident at Magle Mølle where one of the factory workers, the 53-year-old carpenter Lars Nielsen, Præstestræde, Lille Næstved, lost his life.
The factory has recently received a large, new machine from England, a "Kalander" used for glazed paper, and it was being unloaded from railroad cars this morning. The work crew, where Lars Nielsen was Baksemester [maneuvering specialist], had positioned one of the Kalander pieces, weighing 3 1/2 tonnes, in the crane's grip; however, as the heavy machinery was being swung away from the railroad car, the rope strap holding up the Kalander piece broke and the massive piece of steel plunged towards the ground, landing with the heavy end on the ground and the rest on the railroad car.
Lars Nielsen was hit in the head and fell onto the cement floor. The violent blow to Lars Nielsen's head was lethal.
The machinery fell beside Lars Nielsen so he co-workers were able to immediately help him.
He was brought by Falck's ambulance to Amtssygehuset but he died immediately after.
All work ceased immediately at Magle Mølle and the tradesmen took the rest of the day off while the remaining staff resumed work after lunch.
Police assistant Tscherning and constable Damgaard arrived immediately after the accident and they investigated and took statements at the scene.
The accident was deemed accidental and charges will not be laid against anyone. The strange thing about this case is the fact that the strong rope strap was able to break; however, it is likely that the sharp edges of the machinery cut part of the rope and when the heavy piece of steel was hanging freely, the weight of it caused the remaining part of the rope to break.
Lars Nielsen and his 5 co-workers are used to maneuvering heavy equipment and they are not deemed responsible for any wrong doing during the unloading.
Carpenter Lars Nielsen, who was 53-years-old, had worked at Magle Mølle for 16 years and was well liked by both his superiors and his co-workers.
The unfortunate accident made a huge impression on everyone at the factory and the flags were immediately lowered to half mast.
Before Lars Nielsen was hired at Magle Mølle, he worked in the city of Næstved as a carpenter's apprentice and there he was once in serious danger. While working, he fell from a building and suffered a serious concussion.

Results of the investigation.
It is ascertained that the rope strap was originally positioned in a way that would not have allowed the sharp edges of the machinery to cut the rope; however, during the maneuvering, the strap apparently moved into a position where it partially did cut the strap. - Translation from Næstved Tidende, Tuesday Evening, December 11th, 1934, p. 3
