Death at Illinois Central pits sparks inquest
An inquest into the death of Patrick McGrory at the Illinois Central roundhouse concluded that carelessness contributed to the fatal accident. McGrory, a sober and industrious worker, was crushed when an engine moved in the middle pit. Dr. J. A. Poling said life could not be saved, and a Catholic priest administered rites at the hospital before death. The jury returned a verdict of negligence without specifying which party was at fault.
