Coroner Nimmo, and coroner's jury
composed of George Gray, Capt.
Cogswell, and Michael Noonan have
been investigating the .ause Of the
death CT George Stenson. While
the inquiry is searching and thor
ough, but little was developed out
side the facts given in yesterdays
Inter Ocean. The only line of in
quiry was to ascertain if there had
been criminal negligence in using the
tank from which the lime was being
forced. The most important witness
was J. T. M%ertinger, foreman of the
round house. He explained how the
air was forced from the engine APP
paratus to the tank, and told how the
lime was Stacked and screened before
being put into the tank. The tank
had been used for the same purpose for
some time. Stenson had charge of the
engine which was pumping the air.
The highest pressure possible to obtain
was seventy pounds, as the air pump
would stop at that. stenson reported
forty pounds just before the accident,
and the hand going down. The only
difference on this point was the testi
mony of Alex Hines who testified that
he had found the pressure up to
seventy pounds at two different times,
one of these times being possibly
fifteen minutes before the explosion
took place. He called Stenson's at
t%ention to the pressure and together
they tested it to see if the machine
would work better with a lower pres
sure, which it did.
