Harley was carried to an automo-

hospital. Physicians said he was suf-

bruises.
The trapped man, his head pro-

fell on him in the 40-foot hole, en-
couraged rescuers by telling them:,
"I don't seem hurt, much." The Rev.
John Healy, Pottsville, administered
the rites for the dying while rescuers
worked to free him. Father Healy en-
