Supreme Judicial Court of Maine December 17, 1900 (Hall v. Emerson-Stevens Manufacturing Co.)

Stbotjt, J.

Hall, the plaintiff’s intestate, was killed by the bursting of a grindstone, on which he was at work in defendant’s mill. He was at the time in the service of the defendant, as a scythe-finisher, and was rightfully using the stone in doing the work for which he was employed. The stone was suspended over a spindle which run through it, but did not come in contact with it.
