Details of Event
He, along with another man, was working on a ledge about 42 feet from the surface and the same distance from the bottom of the quarry when a piece of stone, measuring 15 inches by 12 inches by 10 inches , fell from the edge of a stone which was being wedged off the face 30 feet above. The foreman saw the stone falling and at once gave an alarm; the deceased in jumping to get out of the way fell into the quarry and was so severely injured that he died the following day.
