Excerpt from Justices of the Supreme Court: During the Time of These Reports Some three or four days before he was hurt he noticed that two cross-beams supporting a portion of the roof of the ninth east, a short distance west of the switch and at the wide place mentioned, were cracked, and sagged down in the middle. On the Saturday before he was in jured on Tuesday, he claims that he notified his pit-boss, C. J. Ramsey, of the dangerous condition of the roof at that place, and that Ramsey promised to have it repaired. On the day that he was injured he had made several trips, finding the ground underneath the sagging cross-beams clear and all right. 0u the trip when he met his accident he had taken his last two empties into the back entry and returned with two loads. He had started the two loads which had been left to the east side of the switch and had walked to the wide place. While trying to mount his seat on the front car, as was his wont, his right foot was caught on some slack and top coal, as he contends, which had been precipitated from the defective roof above since the time he passed with the empties, and he was thrown forward and jerked off by the timber which supported one end of the broken cross-beams. He was hurled in'front of the first car, which so crushed and mangled him as to paralyze both lower limbs and render the amputation of one of them necessary.
