Details of Event
The night deputy had set two props in the stall to take the place of one which had run out and told the Jay shift of men and the deputy they should start re-timbering the place with bars. One bar was put up, and deceased was passing a pack to assist in setting the next bar, when 20 tons of roof coal fell and killed him.
