Details of Event
A visible fault and lype ran diagonally across the place about 3 feet 6 inches apart, and deceased continued to hole the coal without propping a stone, which, in addition to having the exposed "lype" and fault on either side of it, also had one end exposed, owing to a piece of stone having already fallen out, when the fall occurred and killed him.
