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 caking 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 than the car, about 20 feet perhaps further down.
