tary. John Mccain, who is superin-
tending the work at the point above

ditch when he met jackson coming In.
Gallagher told him to get out of the
ditch, and Jackson turned and retreated.
That was the last Gallagher saw Of
jackson until he discovered his body
Scared and bleeding upon the ground 4
few minutes after the blast had gone

Patrick Burns, another workman, tes
tilted that be was careful to cover the
blast with fibre and ties to prevent the
explosion from sending flying fragments
Of rock in the air Notwithstanding

Jackson's speedy death. Burns stated
that he was about 80 feet from the spot
when the blast went off, while jackson

100 feet. The jury, after hearing the
evidence, rendered the following verdict;
