Q. Hid you know that dangerous work was going on there, A.

If I ever heard of it I have forgotten it. ! “Did you believe that Mr. Enzian was right in saying that the work in Seventh Avenue and in Broadway showed that no mining engineer had anything to do with it? A. I read that. I have had a great deal of min-| ing experience in California and Ne-: vada, and my young men, who have| been at subway construction for fif- tebn years, know a great deal more about conditions than any mining ene | gineer. kK Mr. Craven said that he did not) leave the matter of support to con-| tractors’ engineers; yet he could not tell of one thing he had done to ae-| cure safety in the Seventh Avenue and the Broadway excavations. He admitted that fifty or sixty feet of! the rock wall on the west side of Broadway at Thirty-elghth Street had slid without a blast and that It would not have slid if it had been | properly timbered. | Q. Whom did you hold responsible for that accident? A. No one. You can't always tell. That rock had been examined frequently. Q. Did you hold anybody respon: | sible for not timbering that place!
