THE VERDICT AT DUNBAR.
Lang Found Oriminally Responsis
ble—Feeling Against the Verdict,
Duxsag, Pa., July 12.—The coroner's
' jury in the case of the Hill Farm disas-
ter rendered the following verdict:
“Daniel Shearin came to his death
while in the discharge of his duties as
fire boss in the Hill Farm mine, on the
16th day of June 1890, by being suffoca-
ted with after damp, a smoke caused by
an explogion of gas, by John Kerwin
opening a drill hole in an unlawful man-
ner, under directions and by order of
Robert Lang, superintendent, and that
said Robert Lang is criminally responsi-
ble in causing the death of said Daniel
Shearin.
“David Hay came to his death while
in the discharge of duty, in trving to
rescue his son in the Hill Farm mine on
the 16th of June, 1890, by being suffocated
with afterdamp and smoke caused by
an explosion of gas by John Kerwin
opening a drill hole in an unlawful
manner, under direction and by order
of Robert Lang, superintendent, and
that we believe said Robert Lang is
criminally responsible in cansing the
death of said Robert Hay.”
The public feeling is against the ver-
dict. The laboring people say the
blame should not be laid on Mr. Lang,
who has always been faithful in his
duty in looking after the safety and wel-
fare of his employes, and that a similar
mistake was liable to be made by any
one under the same circumstances.
