Coal strike witness details pay rates and injuries
J C Crawford testified he kept his mine running during the strike and sold most coal to the Delaware Lackawanna and Western. He received 2.50 per ton for November coal but as high as 20 per ton during the strike. Henry Williams, a Pardee company employee who lost a leg in a mine accident, said his salary was used to pay his father’s debt after his return to work. The trial also covers letters between Miss Ailie Dool and Owens and the dying declaration issue surrounding her poisoning death. The defense questions the credibility of Dr. Reynolds and the dying statements while pushing the death by own action theory.
