The earth that opened up and
swallowed little julie Ann Full
mer, 2, as she toddled along q
quiet residential street gave up
her body to weary rescue work
ers last night, and today the
coroner began an investigation
TO fix responsibility for her
death.
Investigations also were
started by Pennsylvania mine
inspectors and the Pittston Mine
Cave Commission, and Mayor
John r. Reilly said he hoped
they would lead TO legislation to
shore up the honeycomb of
abandoned mine tunnels that
undermine the town.
A mine cavern opened a fis-
sure in the earth under julie
AIMS feet Tuesday and she fell
in. Then an earth slide along the
sides of the hole buried her
alive. Rescuers removed tons OF
dirt TO recover the body. 1t was
the first fatal cave-in in a series
that began several years ago
and caused damage to many
homes and public buildings.
