Details of Event
Deceased's duties were to attend to the dross screens, including the movement of the wagons. No one saw the accident, but apparently he had allowed 2 wagons to move too fast in bringing them to the screens, and in colliding with the wagon at the screen He somehow got between and was crushed by the buffers.
