ANOTHER DEATH

The adjourned inquest on the body of HERBERT Hemingway (18) a dyer's labourer, who died from scalds sustained by falling into a vat of boiling dye liquor while wrestling with a fellow workman at Providence Mills, Batley a fortnight ago was held on Wednesday.
The inquest was adjourned in the hope that the second man Daniel Kitson (30) would be sufficiently recovered to give evidence, but it was stated on Wednesday that he had gradually become worse, lockjaw had set in and he had died on Tuesday. Dr Forsyth stated that the two men had told him that they were wrestling close to the vat & tumbled in. They both gave him the impression that they were larking about at the time.
Two workmen who were in the dye house at the time also gave evidence. One man named Craven said Hemingway & Kitson had been "kidding" one another all the afternoon and they were still chaffing when they got hold of one another and began wrestling.
The Coroner (Mr P P Maitland) said it appeared that no-one was to blame for the affair unless it was the poor men themselves. It was evident that one or either of them had lost his balance and probably pulled the other in with him.
A verdict was registered to the effect that death was due to scalds accidentally sustained by falling into a dye pan while wrestling in fun at Messrs G Blackburn & Sons dyehouse
