Passerini, Gillio

  Coroner H. S. Kimmel recently held an inquest over the death of Gillio 
Passerini, an Italian, whose dead body was found on the ash dump of the 
Brothersvalley Coal Company, at Macdonaldton. The verdict of the jury was that 
the man came to his death as a result of stumbling and falling into the ash 
dump, where he was overcome by the gaseous fumes and roasted to death. The man 
was badly burned about the face, chest, hands and arms. The investigation 
revealed that Passerini had been put out of his boarding house Saturday when he 
was paid. He was evicted it is said, because of his conduct. He spent Monday 
night with a friend and was seen about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning on his way to 
his old boarding house. About 10 o'clock he was found lying in a wheelbarrow 
path on the ash dump. Passerini was about 28 years old and single.
