No Blame by Coroner's Jury in Mine Inquest
An open verdict was returned by the coroner's jury in the inquest into the death of R. Lee Cross who died at St. James hospital after injuries from a fall of ground at the Never Sweat mine on July 1. John Mackey, a fellow worker, said he was entering a drill when the accident occurred and saw the fall of ground partially cover Cross. The night shift boss, John A. Burns, testified ground had been examined shortly before and found not dangerous. The day shift boss, Pat Prim, said he had heard of a cave in in the area during the 11 months he had worked there. Foreman William P. Murray noted this was the first fatality in five years in that mine section. Three or four cars of ground fell. Mine inspector W. R. Orem judged the ground safe, while Dr. M. Scott testified the injuries could cause death.
