Details of Event
He was drawing a jud in company with two other deputies and when almost finished when the whole roof from which they had removed the timber fell, and deceased was caught. The stone was sandstone. Some chocks had been drawn and no additional props had been set. The men had a "pout" or appliance for drawing timber but had not used it at all.
