Roslyn Inquest Splits On Mine Blast Cause
Testimony at the Roslyn coroner inquest tests conflicting theories of ignition and explosion in a mine disaster. Miners favor ignition in the seventh east entry with a gas and dust blast near the third and fourth east entries, while the drill hole in the crosscut is deemed noncontributory. Inspector Edmunds advocates a state controlled inquiry, clashing with the coroner’s jury, as Ralph Kauffman assists in the absence of McFalls. The panel agreed to continue under the initial plan.
