Details of Event
Died from blood poisoning from some injury received on the 3rd November, 1906. What the injury was is not known. He alleged it was caused by a fall of coal and that he was knocked senseless by it, but this was not so, as a collier and a deputy were within five yards of him and they say no fall of any kind occurred. The medical evidence made it clear that a scratch had been received on his knee and that blood poisoning had been thereby set up.
