A Yes.

Q You knOW'Whet happened to you after you were overcome

or became suffocated with the smoke in there? Do you.know

what happened to you after you became overcome with smoke?

A I didn't know any thing after I became overcome.

Q What do you next remember?

A I was on the outside. They carried me on the outside,

I suppose. I was on.the oustide on the upper end of the

tunnel.

Q What was yourcondition when you became conscious on the
outside? K

A Ky face was scared up and bleeding, and some of them, ‘
I believe, was washing me with water, pouring water on my

face, sitting on a large flat bench, I believe I was, below fine
road. They had carried me by sons means down there. They had
carried me down there, and M1en I came to myself I believe Mr.
Armstrong was helping them to wash me, and several others, I
dont know who all.

Q You dont know hOW long you were in this condition?

A No, I do not.

Q Do you remember being carried out of the tunnel, know

any thing about that? V ,
A No sir, after I fell,_I reckon I fell, after I became -
unconscious the first thing I hnowed after that I was on the
outside as I was telling you. .

Q Tell the jury What caused you to be overcome with smoke?
A Why we was working in there and they run a dinky eagénesl‘

 ' i 5
train in the tunnel and we was shoveling up fragments or i
waste throwing it upon the flat car and they would run it out
and dump it over somewhere out there out of the way, and while
that train was standing in.there they come a freight train
. along, I rechon.it was a freight train. It was very smoky in
there and the best of my recollection we all went out on the
flat car, the best of my knowledge. I dont know Whether we
went out on the main line or whether we Went out on the side
track, but either one, and that train went up there and got a
car box, the best of my knowledge, and then come back down
through, and then —
Q Now what train was that?
A That was the freight train; and then immediately after
she went up there and done that we went right on back in.
Q What went back in?
A The dinky train te was working, and we got off and
went to work again, and the smoke was so had we couldn’t
breathe hardly at all.
Q What else happened, if any thing?
A And while I was working I became kindly sidk-
Qéflaf; Yes the1e any other train?
a Yes, they was another train come through just after that,
andt%fogfigtsgfdg;l became so much suffocated with smoke, and
i
seemed like I began to get sick, and seemed like my head began
to go down, and I leaned up against the wall of the tunnel,
and the last thing I remember I put my ann up over my eyes,
and that is the last I remember. I was about to fall5as I leaned
over I spoke to Er. Hitohman and said we couldn't stand it in

 1 6
here, I am dying, or something another like that, and I
believe he replied "it wouldn't hurt us" maybe, and I said
"I couldn't stand this no longer that I was dying", and he
asked me where I wanted to be buried if I died. I dont suppose
he thought I was in as bad condition as I was, and I told

* him any where out of that smoke, and that is about the last thing
I remember. ‘
2 Did I understand you to say another train had come in
after the train had passed through and gone on up the line?
A To the best of my knowledge they was another train come
through. .
Q I will ask you if it res possible for people to stand
inside of the tunnel and alongside of the track and a train
pass through :ithout being injured, was there any room on
each side of the track for people tonstand in there?

. A Yes, they was room, man-holes, I suppose, you could
get in.
Q Outside of the man-holes was there still plenty of room

' to stand up against the wall of the tunnel Without being
injured?
.51 I ain‘t positive about that, but I believe so.
' Q How long after this occurrence did it etfect your lungs,

if it did, after that, after you were revived?
A Right from that on. "
Q Does it or not still effect you?
A Yes.
Q Tell the jury what effect coal smoke has on you now
when you become in contact with it or breathe it?

 A Well, it makes me sick every time I breathe it. flakes
me feel just like I did at the time I got injured, makes me
sick. I cant stand coal smoke, it makes me sick.
Q Tell what effect it had on your lungs after that?
A Well, my lungs hurt me, and for several days after that,
I dont knOW'hOW many though, I would spit up pure soot, black
looking stuff, and it would hurt me and hurt until I, and when
traveling at great speed I am short breathed.

‘ Q What was the state of your health before that time?
A My health was good.
Q What was the condition of your lungs before that time?
A Any thing wrong with them I didn't know it.
2 That is that discolored place there under your eye?
A That is Where I got hurt at that time, where I struck
somer-Iay 3 no t h er the n I f e ll .
Q flee-there— Fae that there before you received this injury?
4 No sir, it was not.
Q After you became conscious state whether or not there
were, - you observed any other wounds about your face?
A They was several places, here and there, and several
other places my face was tore, and then my hands the skin was
tore off of them kindly, ;Hd I allowed I done that by sliding
down the wall of the tunnel, I didn't know how that happened,
well I didn't know how any of it happened, only I know I fell;
find my shoulder, I must have hit on this shoulder, it was bruised
some, right smart bad. I was sore for several days afterwards, '
couldn’t hardly use that arm.
