Q: How far in did you go?

A: Before we were through, we were in every place in that section.

Q: I am talking about after the explosion.

A: After the explosion we were in every place in that district.

Q: Did you form any opinion as to the cause of the explosion?

A: I believe there had been a great volume of gas given off suddenly, and that something had happened to cause the explosion, either through a defective lamp, or somebody had struck a match, I am not prepared to say which.

Q: Did you find anything which would lead you to infer what was the cause of the explosion?

A: This is my opinion: that this safety lamp "A" which we found up at No.6 stall, at the switch, if this glass was broken before the explosion, or had been cracked, it would very probably have caused it. That lamp itself could have caused the explosion; I would not say it did cause it, but there is a likelihood that it would cause it. It is possible that that glass might have been titled to one side, and the heat of the light broke the glass.

Q: There would something to cause the flame>

A: There would be the light inside to cause the flame. You light that lamp and title it to one side and leave it there the glass will break.

Q: Then about the other lamp "B"?

A: This lamp Mr. Matthews and I found at No.6 stall.

Q: Could you find any other portion of it?

A: No sir.

Q: Then about the other lamp "C"?

A:
