that had been reached. The Jury find |
that the men were suffocatad by nOx- |

roof; they believe that the accident |
would have been averted had there |
been strict compliance with the re-
quirements of ventilation; and that |
while the owner Of the mine. Mr..
Tompkins, is censurable for his negli- /
gence, yet he is exonerated on ac-

at the mine; and Inspector BleWitt is
exonerated because his time IS too /
much occupied by htigate duties.
