Details of Event
He left his work and was travelling along the face to look at a watch in the clothing of one of the miners to see what time it was, and when doing so took a wrong turn and went into a place in which there was a piece of stone hanging, and as he was passing under it it fell upon and killed him. The miner had previously attempted to get the stone down with a pinch but failed to do so.
