This is an excerpt from the testimony of Joseph Hebergam to the Sadler Committee.
Sadler: Do you know of any other children who died at the R Mill?
Hebergam: There were about a dozen died during the two years and a half that I was there. At the L Mill where I worked last, a boy was caught in a machine and had both his thigh bones broke and from his knee to his hip . . . . His sister, who ran to pull him off, had both her arms broke and her head bruised. The boy died. I do not know if the girl is dead, but she was not expected to live.
Sadler: Did the accident occur because the shaft was not covered?
Hebergam: Yes.
