− | + | A: In No. 6 stall. | |
− | A: | + | Q: Why? |
− | + | A: Because the force seems to have radiated from both sides; the force of teh explosion goes both ways from that point. | |
− | Q: | + | Q: Now as to that body; what position would a body be in the case of an ordinary explosion? |
− | + | A: That is hard to say. You get them in all positions. | |
− | A: | + | Q: What position would it be in the case of a cave in? |
− | + | A: It just depends upon the position he was in when the cave in took place. This many was lying flat on his back with a stick of cordwood across his legs. | |
− | Q: | + | Q: Would that be the position you would expect to find the body in in the case of a cave in? |
− | + | A: No, from the position he was in I would infer that he died before the cave in took place. There might have been a little dirt down to begin with, but not the cave that was there latterly. | |

− | + | Q: Any matches? | |
− | Q: | + | A: Well, I seen a chinaman come down to get a man's watch in No. 5 stall, and I seen matches taken out of the pocket of a coat in the place where "B" lamp was found. |
− | + | Q: To whom did the coat belong? | |
− | A: | + | A: It belonged to a man in No. 5. I don't know the names. You have got them there. |

− | + | Q: Did you find anything else besides matches? | |
− | Q: | + | A: That match-box and the cigarettes a little above it. I don't think they were more than a foot apart in No. 5 stall, and about 30 yards from where these were found I think the explosion occurred. |
