MOA POINT FATALITY
QUARRY FOREMAN HELD BLAMELESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A finding that negligence could not fairly be attributed to the quarry foreman was given by Mr W. F. Stilwell, S.M., as a result of the magisterial inquiry into the Moa Point blast, which resulted in the death of a workman named Liddy from being struck by a piece of rock on September 27. The magistrate said the foreman thought, and so did every one of the men, that the distance to which they retired was a safe one. Many of the men had long quarry experience and one was a union delegate.
