Details of Event
Fall of roof at face, cliff, 19 feet by 5 feet by 33 inches thick, fell from a smooth diagonal slant on deceased as he was measuring the length of prop required to be set under the middle of the stone. The fireman visited the place half an hour previously, and instructed deceased to set a prop, but I am afraid that he delayed setting the prop so as to cut some more coal. Ras Las seam.
