WORKEDUNDER MISUNDERSTANDING
Tho Verdict of the Coroner's Jury Rendered
Accordlngl) It Arose Over tho Division
of a Fire Bosses FieldInspector
Stein Quotes Law.
Deputy Coroner Mauley and his Jury last
night resumed tho Inquest In the ca,o of
John G. Eiscnhart, who died from injuries
received by an explosion of gas in the
Shenandoah City colliery last Monday. The
inquest was begun last Wednesday night, but
tlio witnesses clashed so much with eacli
other it decided to meet again last night and
have more evidence as to an alleged agree
ment as to tho division of work of fire bosses.
District Superintendent J. J. Ilradlcan was
the first witness last night. He testified that
about threo mouths ago Inside Foreman Carl,
Fire Dosses Gashncr, llrooks nnd Mitchell
and himself had a conference at his residence
relative to a re-arrangement of tho duties of
tlio fire bosses named. Mr. Gashncr had
complained that lie had mure work than lie
was able to accomplish and the conference
followed. It was agreed that a certain part
of tho work should be taken from Gashncr
and given to llrooks, which was satis
factory. Mr. llradigan stated that every
tlmo lie visited the colliery ho found every
thing working all right. The miners aro
supposed to remain at tlio station when gas
marks arc placed on tho tally hoards until
the fire boss gives them permission to enter.
Inspector Stein: ''Mr. llradigan, the
dlU'erent sections of tho Shenandoah City
colliery assigned to Mr. llrooks as llro boss
wcro entirely in ills caro and ho was responsi
ble fur tho safety of the men t "
Mr. llradigan : "Yes, sir."
James llrooks, one of tlio firo bosses, vas
recalled and tho following question was tint
to mm: lou said there was an understand
ing in tlio prcsenco of .Mr. llradigan, Mr.
Carl, Mr. Gashncr and yourself that you
wcro to examlno this place in the monling,
put your mark on tho hoard, and Mr. Gashncr
was to take caro of tho phuo for the balance
of tho day."
Mr. llrooks : "That is what I havo been
working under, nnd they know it as well as
I know it."
Superintendent llradigan denied that any
sucli agreement was made in his presence and
later hi the evening said, I wouldn't toler
ate any such agreement as they speak of if I
had known It. It is the worst thing I ever
thought of. It seems to he a misunderstand
ing all the way through witli them."
In-pector Stem then asked Foreman Carl if
Brooks' statement of tho agreement was
correct and Mr. Carl said it was not. He
said that ho told Mr. llrooks to examine the
place and seo that it, was all right and if
llrooks couldn't comedown from the upper
lifts during tho day Gashncr and Mr. Carl
wuuld look after the place.
William Mitchell, another firo boss, was
called to givo his version of the agreement
and said his understanding was that after
llrooks bad left tho breast mid put ins marks
on tho tally board Gashncr would tako
charge and seo that the men would not go in
there until everything was safe.
Mr. Gashncr said his understanding of tho
agreement was that Brooks was to luok after
tho place in the morning and niako things
safo and in caso Brooks could not return
during tho day Gashncr and Curl would at
tend to tlio place. Gashner said lie told
Eiscnhart that there was gas in the place
Mine Inspector Stein stated, "The law
says that it is not enough to tell a man there
is gas in his place, but he should stand guard,
or deputize somebody to prevent anybody
from going into tho place."
Inspector Stein asked Foreman Carl if tho
discipline of tlio colliery had been observed
according to law and tho rules of tho com
pany enforced so that men would not ho al
lowed to go in and start working befuru the
fire boss camo tu remove the gas, would the
accident havo happened, and Mr. Carl
answered, "It woulil not."
Brooks was asked if he had ever discovered
gas In the breast in which Eiscnhart was
killed before tho fatal morning. Ho answered
that ho found considerable gas in tho breast
last Friday and after putting two marks on
the tally hoard ho went on with his work In
tho other lifts. Brooks said ho did not lo
turn and the place worked all day. He did
not know who brushed out tho gas unless
Gashner did it.
Gashner was recalled and said that last
Friday only one mark was on the tally board
Ho didn't brush out tho gas, or know who
did it, unless it was Brooks.
Inspector Stein said it was the worst caso
of loose discipline of fire busses he had ever
experienced.
The jury was composed of John Scaulau,
James J. Powell, P. J. Flaherty. Daniel
C'oukloy, Patrick Cosgrovoand J. II. Mauley,
and tho following 'verdict was rendered :
"That the said John Kiseuhait's death was
caused by au explosion of gas ignited by him
self in breast No. 10, cast bottom split. Mum
moth vein, of the Shenandoah City colliery
and was due to a misunderstanding between
fire busses Brooks and Gashner."
