Cured August 20 and he estimated
the total number Of miners passing
through at that time as between
5000 and 1000, all headed toward
the Logan border.
Embrey testified that he was
compelled TO act as conductor on
a special train run by the miners
from Clothier to Whitesville on

another crew took charge of the
train which continued towards
