He and other 11 men were being let down the shaft in the cage and when near the bottom the winding engineman did not stop the cage and it went hard on the keps and deceased was thrown out and crushed between the cage and flat sheets. The other men were all more or less injured. The ascending cage was overwound but the detaching hook caught it.
