William Smith Connor
On 25th July, 1901, while deceased was pushing a tub, a piece of stone fell from the roof and crushed his hand against it, and two of his fingers were afterwards amputated. He returned to work and was employed as a helper-up, then at shift work, then at stone work, and lastly started to hew. In March, 1905, he was suspended from work owing to some mental derangement. He emigrated to Canada in April, 1905. In February, 1906, his parents learned that he had returned to England and was in Liverpool. From there he was removed to Sedgefield Asylum in Durham, where he died from phthisis. An inquest was held, at which the medical officer of the Asylum stated that death was due to phthisis but that mental derangement made this a more dangerous disease than in the case of sane persons, and that the accident might have been the cause of the lunacy. The Jury found that death was due to phthisis and that the accident had caused the mental derangement.
