The Public Safety Committee, at the

the case Of John Z. Brown. who was
fatally burned at the Krebs Pigment

weeks ago. This Investigation showed
that Brown was buried in a bank of
SCOT which burned the mans skin.
Dut was not hot enough to ignite his
The inquiry as TO the cause of

"lhe committee feels that death was
caused by undermining a practically
vertical bank OF SCOT which in falling
threw up a cloud Of hot dust. The
dust settled on the skin and pene-
trated under the clothing. Its tenn
perature was not sufficient TO ignite
the clothing but sufficient TO burn the
skin over large area, death resulting,
as would be expected in such cases
where sufficient area Of burns is in
yolved. Undoubtedly the extent
and severity of the burns was increas-
ey by the man getting down on his
hands and knees and crawling out
through the dust to the opening.
