Edward Tayior, presiding Judue. BECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS—Ave. 25, 1863. The question proposed fo Mr. Whistler was with- drawn. I make the roles and regulations of the road ; it ts im my power to alter and vary them ; it is compe- tent for me to ive verbal instructions to conductors and engineer. ()—Have you given Comstock in- structions with re‘erence to crossing Norwalk bridge? Objected to, becanse no inatractions would operate ‘a8 a justification to the conductor. Objection sus tained. The Court having excluded the inquiry, the counsel for deie: dant here objected to the rule of the company ¢flere 1 yesterday, claiming that as as the charge is for causing the death by his negligence, the tule of the compauy has no connection with the case. It was claimed by the counsel for the State that the game ie sdmissivle, because notwithstanding Comstock is Mable at common law for his negligence, he had be- fore bis eyes 1 warning to beware in approwohing this dangerovs point ol the road. The Court re marked tbat he dee ao ies bi Larue of Little im- ‘portance apy way ¢ thought that the adinission Of the rule Would mt inffict any hardships ou the it, as, in Lis opinion, the case was t be vo Werned by the jaw of the isud, and not by instrac- tions of » railrewd company. Objectfon overruled. Q—What dangers aid you intend to guard sxaiast in estaplinhivg the last clause of the third ruie? Objected to, arc cujection overruled. A.—I intend- ed to guard avait trains meeting upon the single track on the bridze, when tue trains are out of time; Tucker bad beeu on the road as engineer two years Or more ; was ab-ent abi ut @ year and then returued; when he first came, he came as an Coe en- er he had had an experience of fifteen years; Was regarden as a ier per man; had toe train been going ai the rate of forty miles an hour, the Conductor coule vot have stopped it by any means in his power ; | thick that passengers Cannot usually tell the rate at which trains are moving ; I tinnk the conductor cuybt to estimate with some desres vf ac curacy the speed’ of the train; 1 think, #» @ pages thing, the engineer would be more accurate bis estimate; the engineer has coutrol of the bell; the bell to which the cord is attached, runuing a the train, is a signal bell; the signal end is @ eignal in case of auy derange- ¢ the cars bebind the cagine; tne uation resumed.—Comstock hii been Tunning upon the rosd since it was first opened, in December, 1-45; he was an experienced cor ductor; I should think Covistock might estimate the speed Very accurately; | soow men of long experience who cannot; Tucker was not discharged in cou-equeace of ® collision the year previous to his return to the compeny; the collision was indirectly the cae; be was pot di wed, because he was recoguized a3 being #1 that tune under the control of the coadactor. (The witness not Knowing tne circumstances con- ected with that collision, his evigence upon this er was excluded ) The conductor may check the at any me, if the speed should be tuo zreat; the signal cord is not for the express use of the con- ductor, but for any one of the passengers in case of ; the train is under the sole charge of the conductor; the morning exprees train stops once be- tween New York aud New Haven, at Stamford; it is eight miles from Stamford to Norwalk; it is seven - abd tbree-qnarter miles from Thirty-second street to New Haven; the conductor has no special duties to ‘attend to afier tuking the fure; it ix customary to take the fare immediately upon leaving a station; a train bebind time is out of time; the cars leave Thir- second street at balf past eight o'clock A. M., ar. ve at New Haven at eleven A.M; the Norwalk pose a is a dangerous place on this road; the | engineer is the person wo regulate the speed; what [ mean by this is, that he runs in accordance with the time and according to bis judgment; he is the judge of the speed with which he is to ran on the Toad ard make his time; the inténtionof tue third Tole is that conductors will beheld responsible for the ‘Bpeed of the train; if the engincer comes upon 4 dan- part of the road at & dangerous rate of speed it is the duty of the cundnctor to check the speed by means of the det r Profesor Obnsteac—I am Profeesor of Natarcl Philosophy and Astroncmy in Yale College; some years attention to the subject of mathematics has Made me familiar with the scienee; if the st i , and the distance from the rail to the water, were uniform, there would be no difficulty in ascer- taining the speed of the train. ‘The Profesor having gr Bu) = iis sek board, explained at great len and with clearness the method of ascerfuining the of the train. Assuming the draw to hive been sixty feet wide, the surface of the water ten feet below the track, the centre of wravity in the engine to have been from the front end of it, the speed of the 29 8-30 miles per hour. The method pur- him, the data epee, dro! would produce a showing accurately the speed of the train, sup- the given data to be correct. After the close Professor's direct examination he was sub- toe Jong and critical cross-examination, but was elicited which could vary the correct- his calculations. Frank Smith—Reside in South Norwalk; saw a tt the locomotive as it lay in the water, two or days after the accident; | should suppose the forward part of it to lay clore to the pier; the piles which support the abutment were broken in; it ap- peared as ifthe cowcstcher had struck the casing ig the eae and slipped under. Crogs-examined.. They were taking the engine out of the water when I saw it; one or two of the rods of the cowcatcher were shifted from their place. aun g if ‘was broken; | saw that one or two ot the rods of the cowoatcher were sisifted out of place. James A Renaud— Was engineer of the steamboat Pacific on the day of the accident; saw the accident; it occurred a little after ten o'clock in the forenoon— eight or ten minates Pp the draw was open to permit the of the steamboat; the boat had through two or three hundred feet from the Crossexamined—The signal was down ten mi- ‘nutes before the draw was opened; we were two or three minutes in guing to draw from the dock, and bad got about two handred feet below when the train came. Williem Harford—Was draw tender at the time of the sevident; the train was behind time eight or Bipe minutes; the ball had been down avout ten minutes before the draw had been opeued. Alfred Ohiche-ter—I reside in South Norwalk, and was in my store at the time of the accideat; [ the train was going at its usual rate of speed; Yaudnoe the draw was open. sis Dauwel Hey'— Was a Quarter of a mile south of the it when the train passed; I thought it was going speed; my attention was drawn ty the Of the train, from that I looked for the sig- nal, and it was not to be seen. Crom-examised—I live about a mile south of the depot; am « farmer} I saw this morning train pass uently; it passed me near the cut; [ watshed it ‘till it tugned the curve arcand the bridge; the train pamed within twenty feet me; I have been —" it bg are f res it has passed before; re wR ackening of the » o it i igh peed as long as demmel wm—TI was north of the bridge, near the dock, at the time of the arcident; [ aw train yo off the draw; [sbould think the locomotive went two-thirds of the way across the draw before it struck the water. Btevens—I reside ut Stamford; I was at the depot whes the express traiu arrived, on the Morning of the s cident; the train was avout teu minutes behind time then; it stopped about five Minuges for wood and water. ¢ Elmer—! was firemen on the engine at the time of the accident; (he bell \» which the sig nal oord was attached wax not struck after leaving Stamford; | jumped from the engine into the street, Which rune under the west eud of the bridge; the street is sbout twelve feet below the railroad; the engineer reversed the engine wlien he blew the whe tle; the engiverr and fo jumped av the same time; I was in the back peri «! the tender when Tucker blew be hf omad the whitle given was the ordinary signal to brakemer Syabout two han- dred feet from the place «tere tie Gngine was re versed to the next abutment of the drow; the tralo wes eight minutes bebind timc, aid about the same at Stamford. Crow examined—-I bad been tireman on that train thirven mouths; | should jndze we were going fif- ‘teon miles an bourf-it may bave been a little more, ‘but very little; the was not greater at that spot than was usual; we made our runnicg time om Stamford to Norwalk; | saw Comstock just atter ue accident, op the track; he had come out of ‘Che water; Ido not know whic!

P. Burrall—I was a direotor at the time of the road & ago . til’ October, when I rnerheac fo office, but at the the office, bat with directors retained cena ar Apgar not be compeiled to discharge the of the offloe; there were few, if g. any, ions of the company with which I was not familiar ; | have known k vince 1846 or 1847; he was a condnctor on the Housatonic road at that time, and when the New York snd New Haven road was opened he was offered an appointment upon that road. Q—What is the character of Mr. Comstock for bee ores skill, care and caution as @ cenductor? Objected to and overruled. A—I considered Mr. san bye go man, apd very careful in the his trains; his reputation as a caretnl and skilful con- ete was pF a often travelled wy the conductor f voray Mmauagemeut train; each man bas his duties to perform; the con- ductcr’s are to see to the passengers, collect the fares, look after the internal affsirs of the train, see that the train starts from stopping places at the right ‘ime, dud see that his train does uot rua on the of other trains; 1t would be his duty to report to superintendent if any of the men on the train fi to discharge their duties; if he were to be re! upon to look out for the track, he would be Likel: to lead the train into dapger; in cases where it necessary, he has paramount authority; the neer isthe only man who can control the engine, he is alone in s position for that parpoes: it ts of the conductor's duty to regulate tie speed EEE PeSEEEl , ee Bq see& | of @ conductor to re the train between different points; cases may occur | where a conductor may interfere with speed; I was an officer of the company at a the accident st Huseneck, where Tucker was an engineer; the Board of Directors investigated his conduet, and were unanimously of opinion that he was not to blame; bis injuries were such that he was the rate of | the time | | table ; incapacitated trom discharging his duties, aud we | voted to present bim with a year’s pay; 1 think that it is difficult for a person to time a train with any accuracy, except by a watch; it would be the duty of the conductor on approaching # drawbridge out of time, to direct the engiveman to stop his train when another is due about that time; the particalar object of the clause in the third rule, vee a of bby out of time, was to guard against o upon draws, *Crost-examined—T think the first partof the rule is peculiarly spplicable to Lt peo I think if the conductor should find an ong veer running at an im- proper rate of speed, 1t would be his owe re] bin to the Superintendent; the time table would in- form bim when he was passing stations; [ should think a conductor with the experience of Comstock, | could tell with a good deal of accuracy, the rate of speed; the approach to Norwalk bridge is davger- ous; if the cunductor should see chat the exgineer was running atan unusual rate of speed, it would be his duty to check it; the rystem engineer passes that point without giving the signal for breaking up, the conductor wou'd suppose that the draws are right; if the draw wae closed, I should | think that a train would pass safeiy around the curve at the rate of thirty lea sn hour; I should think the engineer would take excessive care if he d around such # curve, 60 as to be able tostop bis train if the draw should be open; I do not recollect what statements I made before the Coroner's Jury; 1 was requested to make a statemeut, and recollect that! stated that Mr. Whistler was more familar with the rules than myrel’. Geo. Eimer, culled by State—Saw Comstock at Stamford; | hed no conver-ution with him, but over- heard him snd Tucker talking together; they were speaking of a brake upon one of the cars. Cross examined—Tucker shut off steam in the cut at the usual piace; the 5; was slackeued ; bis character, so far as I know, is that of a compe- tent ond cereful man. Direct resumed—1am in the employ of the New York and New Haven Rsilroad Company; I was be- fore the jury of inqueet and testified there; | don't remember whether | was evquired of there, whether Tucker sbut off stewm; I was op the engine when it pasted the cut; 1 believe that I did not testify before the jury cf inquest that there was no signal or brake- ing up; I caw the engineer shut off the steam. Geo. W. Whistler, Jr., called by defendunt—M1 Comstock’s reputation as a conductor has alwa; stood high for care and competency; if the draw were closed a train could pags arvund that curve at the rate of thirty or forty miles an hour; I saw the engine when it was taken out; one of the rods on the cow catcher was bent up. Cross-examined—The cow catcher ran its point into the street piling, which is two or three feet out- vide of the pier; I do not recollect that Com-tock has ever complzined of the engineer ot the express train; the third rude is applicable as well to conductors a6 engineers; if a train passed around that curve at an improper rate, it would have been bis duty to report him. Francis H. Smith—Am aa engineer upou the New York axd New Haven Railroad; have been au engi- neer for six yeers; | was on the train of which Com- stock was conductor or two years and two mouths; 1 was moving the dey Tucker wason; Comstock was always considered a careful and skilful conductor; I think that a train could seiely go sround the curve at Norwalk ot the rate of forty miles per hour; it is the engineer's duty to attend to the running of his engine, aud to run it mene to_ his discretion; it is his duty to observe the track and the signals upon the bridge. Cross exumined—I can’t say when or where I heard it rmerked that Comstock was a rkilful con- ductor; the conductor cau teil me when to start and when to stop, anc this ir all the power tint I consid- er he has over me; be can report me to the superia- tendent; I do not think that fam bound to chey him if he orders me to check my speed. Abel Hanley—Am an engineer on the New York ond New Haven Railroad; bave been an engineer since the opening of the read; I was engineer on Cometock's train for about two years; I have heard it remarked that be understood the rules as well a5 any Tt conductor; bis character ax a conductor Was gv0d; | de! the draw is not open, I think the curve at Norwalk can be rafely passed at the rate ot thirty to forty miles an hour; it 1s the engioeer's a to contiol the engine and look out for signals and draws. Cross-examined—I do not know who I have heard speak of Comstock's character. G. B. Simouds—Am superintendent of the mo- tive power oa the New York and New Ha ven Railroad; have been in that age A about seven years; about three years on road ; previous to that I was engaged for ten ears in running @ locomotive; have always heard lock spoken of as a skilful and com, ot man; setting aside the draw, I should think the curve at Norwalk might be passed at a rate of thirty to forty miles per hour; it is the engineer's duty to attend to the running his engine and regulating the speed; in my opinion the conductor has nothing to do with this; 1 should think, from the appearance of the en, as it lay in the water, that the pilot had broken through the street piling of the pier; one rod on the pilot was broken; the engine was not very badly Sag the tender lay on top of the engine, aud the foremost baugage car on eee that; the tender and car lay im such a position @ perton on the bridge could not have seen the posi- tion of the pilot and engine. Crogg examined—I saw the locomotive as it lay in the water at low tide, and assisted in raising it; the day on which the train ran off was a wet, foggy day, and the track was slippery; had the breaks been | applied to this train, if it were running at the rate from fifteen to twenty miles an hour, [ think it could have been stop; in @ distance of five hun- dred and feet. dames H. Heyt—I reside in Stamford; have been connected with the read since the building of it was commenced; have been acquainted with Com- stock since he commenced running upon the road; bis character as a skilful and compe‘ent man is as good us that of any other conductor on this or any other road.
