− | Q: You couldn't tell when it went down?
| + | |
− | A: Couldn't tell from the dust that was on it. It might have been sent down that day, and it might have been sent down previously.
| + | |
− | By Mr. Potts:- Was it in a dusty state when you found it?
| + | |
− | A: Yes. You can quite understand that from the dust blown upon the road.
| + | |
− | Mr. Pooley:- Did you examine it closely?
| + | |
− | A: Very closely.
| + | |
− | Mr. Potts:- Your theory is that that lamp B did not cause the explosion?
| + | |
− | A: There was a probability of it causing the explosion. Of course you have got another lamp there too under the same circumstances.
| + | |
− | By a Juror:- How far was that lamp "B" from the face?
| + | |
− | A: I should judge about 30 feet down the road from the working face.
| + | |
− | Q: Had the clothes hanging there any signs of being disturbed?
| + | |
− | A: not much; a slight deposit of dust on them. The only part of the mine where I found coking dust was there, on that car nearly loaded there; very fine dust over it, but with that exception there was nothing much disturbed. The lamp was further down the road that the car, about 20 feet perhaps further down.
