GRASH AT GROSSING, THO FIRENEN DEAD Long Iiad Bxpres Hits Truck o0 Way to Blaze New York, Feb, T.—Twe firemen were Killed and three injured at 6 o'clock last night when a hook and ladder truck was struck by a west- bound electric express train on the Long Island Railread at Rockaway Boulevard and Atlantic avenue, Woodhaven, Queens. ‘ The firemen killed were John Dunn, 36, of 9144 111th street, Rich- mond Hill, and Michael Hanley of 8418 104th street, Union Hill, Dunn was killed instantly and Hanley died on the way to Bt. Mary's hospital, Jamaica. The injured are James Griffin of 367 Grant avenue, Nrooklyn, who struek the third rail and was severely shocked and burned and is expected to die; Adolph Lasch of 9032 77th street, Woodhaven, whosé skull was fractured, and Willlam J, Bine of §605 1024 street, Richmond Hill, who | was badly cut and bruised and his| right arm broken, Hose Truck Crosses Safely, The fire apparatus was on the way to a fire at Crescent stroet and Rlake avenue, Brooklyn, The hose truek made Its way safely across the rail- road tracks at what s known as the Unlon Course crossing. The moment it cromsed the tracks the safety gates were let down. What happened aft. er that is a matter of dispute, Some one, for some reason, raised the gates again. Lieut, Griffin, in charge of Hook and Ladder Truck, gave the order to drive ahead. As the front part of the truck came upon the tracks there was a loud whistle and, turning, the firemen saw tho train upon them. Observers say it was going 60 miles an hour, Fire- man Hanley, chauffeur of the truck, stepped on the accelerator and tried to beat the train across the tracks, but his momentum was not great enough and the train hit the truck in the middie. The truck, bent double, was carried two blocks down the tracks before the motorman, Herman Nelson, was able to bring the train to a stop, The five men on the truck did not have time to jump. Witnesses said that Bine, who was the least injured, started to leap just as the crash came but was too late, The others did not rise from their seats before the train hit them. 3 Wreckage Scattered Wide., Dunn was thrown under the train and his head cut off. The other four were carried along with the truck and were picked up from the snow| beside the tracks. The wreckage of the truck' was scattered for . two blocks, and the safety net was found wrapped about the front trucks of the third car of the train. If Lieut. Griffin lives it will be be- cause Thomas McGauley who lives nearby, pulled him from the third rail at the risk of his own life and rolled him in the snow to put out the fire that burned part of his cloth- ing offf Three ambulances came from Bradford Street hospital in Brooklyn, Jamaica hospital and St. Mary's hospital. Police reserves from the Richmond Hill' station, representatives of the Long Island Railroad and Dana Wal- lace, district attorney of Queens, hur- ried to the crossing and began ques- tioning the witnesses. Mr. Wallace, after questioning a score’ of witnesses at the Richmond Hill station, ordered the arrest of .Joseph Rubin of 173 Chichester avenue, Jamaica, a spe- cial policeman, employed by the rail- road, and Robert Brinkley, a negro of 906 Kent avenue, Brooklyn, the gateman. They were charged with criminal negligence. Rubin, accord- ing to the police, was directing traffic at the crossing for the first time. As the wrecked fire truck started across in one direction, a touring car driven by Fred Unger of Lenox ave- nue and Merrick road, Springfield, L. I, started across in the opposite direction. The end of this car was caught and hurled across the tracks, but Unger was unhurt. Many accidents have happened at the Union Course crossing. Last Sat- urday a train struck a stalled auto- mobile from which two men had just leaped in time to save their lives. Trees and houses obscure the ap- proach in both directions.
