A verdict of "accidentally killed by a fall of stone while following his employment at Horden Colliery" was registered by the coroner, sitting with a jury at the Police Station, Horden on Tuesday night, on Robert William Green (57) a miner of Fourth Street, Horden.
William Crockett of Hawthorn Crescent, Horden said "at about 9 o'clock I heard Edward James, who was working with Green, shout "Bob" & when I looked round the corner I saw both lamps on the ground. I ran in and found both men under a large stone. I got James out but had to go for assistance to lift the stone off Green. The stone was about 15ft long by 1ft thick."
It was said the roof had been "jowled" but then there was an argument about whether a prop was in place or not. If not then there was a breach of the timber rule.
