? Mr. D M Eberts

Emil Arnold Praeger - Physician and Surgeon being duly sworn saith - I am Physician and Surgeon to the Vancouver Coal Company. I saw the body of John Lim but made no special examination of him. The body of Lim was recovered the night of the explosion - that would be on the night of the third of May. I am of opinion that he died from the effects of choke damp. The result of inhalation is death of a rapid form ? oxygen starvation. Some men were brought up some twenty five minutes after the explosion. The body of Lim was brought up - I think - about ten o'clock of the night of the third of May.
