Coroner Franklin H. Brown of this |glving encouragement by his heroic city has started his investigation of attitude. thé raliroad wreck at Stonington Junction Thursday morning, in which three men were killed and as mlnyt more Injured, while railroad rolling | stock and freight representing a large amount in value were reduced to a | heap of twisted and broken scrap. The | coroner interviewed several of the in-, Jured persons at Stonington and will continue his investigation today. Claim Express Could Have Been Stop- ped. Railroad men at Stonington have ad- vanced the theory that the wreck may have been caused hecause the flag- man did not properly warn the ex- press train. The regulations say that a flagman shall go back at least eighteen telegraph poles and place his signals. It is claimed that a flag signal takes precedence over a block signal at any time. It is maintained that the express could have been stop- ped in time if the train had been flagged. All of the injured were reported as | resting comfortable Thursday night Express Train Sideswiped Freight. The wreck, which is the worst known at Stonington Junction, oc- curred just before 6.30 o'clock Thur day morning, when the Adams express train on the Shore line division of the N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R. crashed into the head end of a freight train that was backing into a siding at Stonington, on a cross over directly be- low the tower station. Both trains were badly wrecked, three men were killed, one very seriously injured and two others were injured. Traffic Held up Twelve Hours. Traffic was held up twelve hours and the cause is said to be defective Sig- nais, failure in operation or neglect in observance of rules of the road. The point can only be settled by in- vestigation. Killed. J. F. Conlon of Boston, head brake- man on the freight train. Cecil Cheney of Midway, engine hostler, who was riding on the extra freight engine, An unidentified man who was caught in the wreckage. Injured. Frederick | Hadley of New Haven, fireman of Adams Expr train, left band amputated, arm broken and oth- er_injuries. Patrick Conley of Port Chester, N. Y., four ribs broken, back bruised and cut on head. James Masterson, Patterson, N. Y. cut on thigh and hip and chest] bruised. Express Four Hours Late. The Adams Express train, from J sey City to Boston, composed of thir- ten cars, left New London about two| hours late and was proceeding at fuil | speed when teh accident occurred. En- gineer Charl s Mansfield of New Ha- ven says that the signal near the crossing signified a eclear way, and he Hept going right along., and as ho! rounded the curve be saw that the| home signal close to the tower wa nst him. He saw the freight train ng off the main line and knew collision was inevitable. He im- | threw on the emergency | that mediately brakes, reversed the levers and jump ed, landing in the cwamp beside the tracks. He was somewhat stunned and burned by escaping steam. Crowds Flocls to the Scene. The crash as the trains met was heard as far as Cannon square at Stonington and the steam escaping | from the engines was heard all over the borough. Crowds were soon on the scene of the disaster, including nearly of Stonington borough, Wester- ¥l, Mystic and Pawcatuck people, al- so hundreds of autos from all over the county. Shock Was Terrific. The frelght train in addition to its long string of cars had two lwom“'l tives. No. 307 was on the head of | the train and was “dead,” that is, not aiding in the motor power of the | train, but was being taken to Wester- ly to supply a disabled locomotive. | Cheney, the hoseler, was riding in the | dead engine and w; killed. Then | | came locomotive No. 400, and next was a steel coal car of the gondola typ The Adams Express train was made up of thirteen cars, a car containing four polo ponies from Portchester to Narragansett Pier, next a car load of automobiles and then a steel express car. It is evident that the gxpress engine, No. 1004, struck No. 400 which was s completely demolished that no sem- blance of a locomotive was left-—noth- ing but a heap of junk. The tender and the end of No. 307 was completely smashed and the express engine was terribly smashed. Car Thrown Over Freight Train. The impact was so great, that the car containing the horses and two attendants, Patrick Conley and James Masterson, were thrown completely over the freight train, striking the tower station and landing in the marsh on the opposite side of the east bound track. One of the ponies and the two men got out of the car unassisted through a break in the roof. Employes of the silk mill, located near the scene of the wreck, cut away the end of the car.and liberated the men an dtwo ponies. The other poney was so badly injured that it was shotl to end its suffering. Automobiles Smashed to Pieces. The car containing the automobiles and its contents were smashed into small pieces, while the steel was thrown on its side off the trucks, bui { not much smashed. For a distance of fully 150 feet there was a mass of tangled wreckage. The three locomo- ee cars of the Adams rain and three freight car | in one mass, blocked both r 1 Tenders were twigted and torn, t wer scattered and the mass of 18 almost indescribable. | Clearing Up the Wreck.

Among the merchandise thrown frem & wreck- ed freight car were some blankets, which were hastily gathered and so placed as to keep Hadley frem being scalded to death, The wreckage that held Hadley by- the hands could not be meved, and ths enly thing left for the willing réseueis was lo cul away the wreekage. They Wwerked without ceasation for over twe hours, Madiay In the meantime physicians arrived and encouraged the pinioned man. Thumb Amputated to Free Him. ‘When it was plain that he could not be extricated until much of the debris was removed, which would take hours, and fearing that there might be fatal result in that emergency, It was suggested that the thumb of the left hand be emputated, as Hadley was held to the wreck by that member. Hgq cheerfully submitted. Both hands webe terribly lacerated and he was in a very weak condition. Under the Locomctive Tender. Cecil Cheney, the other man killed, was employed as hestler at Midway, and was riding the dead engine. He was found under the twisted tender of the locomotive. He was 32 years of age and a resident of New London. Martin Gaynor of Stonington was on the dead engine with Cheney, but got off the train when below the scene o? the wreck, inttending to get back when the switching was completed. Engineer Hadley's injuries were treat- ed by Dr. Brawton at the residence >f John Alexander, and left for his home in New Haven in the afternoon. Stonington Residents Help. The home of Carl French nearby was tendereq as an emergency and the members of the household did all they could for the felief and com- fort of the injured. Frederick Hadley, Patrick Conley and James Walters were taken there and attended by Drs. Carl Williams of New Jersey, Dr. Brayton, H. T. Thurber, William Thompson and J. D. Fallon and Dr. O. J. Denehey, dentist, gave them the best of attention. 5 Hadley’s injuries are the most seri- ous, but the physicians are of opin- jon that he will recover, His left hand was amputated atthe wrist, and the jndex finger of the right hand was amputated at the metacarpal joint. The right arm is fractured, as is also the left arm between the elbow and shoulder. He is alse cut and bruised on the head, but there are no injuries. k Conley, who was in the car with the ponies, had four ribs broken, back bruised and a cut in the fore- head. His companion, James Mas- terson, received a severe cut in the right thigh and bruised on both hips and on the chest. Both men are pain- fully injured, but will recover. Conley’s. Body Pinned Fast. John . Conley's dead body was found pinned to the ground by the car that atained the ponies, and could not removed until the wrecking derrick arrived and lifted the car free of the ground. He was head brake- man on the freight train, a resident of South Boston, 24 years of age and unmarried. What Towerman Says. George Wilbur, the towerman, de- clares that the accident was due to defective wire that operates the signal and that the defect had been reported through the proper channel. While the signal at the crossing indicated a free track, the home signal was against that train, thus proving defect in mechanism. A’ messenger was sent down the track, so it Is said, to warn the approaching train, but the warn- ing was given too late. Hadley Was to Be Married Saturday. Engineer Charles H. Mansfield and Fireman Hadley are in point of ser- vice among the older employes of the railroad. Hadley was to have been married on Saturday to Miss May Fisher of the New Haven depot res- taurant force. Miss Fisher, with rela- tives of Hadley, left New Haven on Thursday for Stonington.

Three Witnesses of Fatal Fight in New | London Lunch Cart Could Net Pick . Out McQueen. iy Before Coroner Franklin H. Brown in New London on Thursday afternoon an effort was made to idemtify Pri- vate McQueen of Fort Terry as the soldier who struck Joseph Salmon and knocked him out of & lunch cart last Monday night at New London, céusing & fractured skull in the fall, from which Salmon died Wednesday nkht; The effort to identify the suspecteC soldler was unsuccessful. \ine soldiers, among whom was Mc- Queen, were brought over from the fort, and three witnesses of the fight were given opportunity to 100k at them in a group and singly. Nome picked out McQueen, and in fact opne witnes pointed to a man who had not been away from the fort for several weeks. An autopsy held Thursday deter- mined that Salmon, whose name had previously been belleved to be Shan non, died from the effects of the frac- tured skull. Salmon came from Chic- opee.

When 14 years of age Salmon, according to his broth- er, ran away on a whaling voyage. It was indicated by members of the family that he had a roving inclina- tion. FOUNDATION LACKING FOR MORSE DEAL. St /i Vice President Dalrymple of Grand Trunk So Telegraphs to Captain Smith. Capt. Harold 1, Smith, who is pro- moting the Royal Blue line to rum from New London to the West Indies, was much interested in the report that C. W.

Dalrymple of the road and stated to The Bulletin Thursday evening that he had received the fol- lowing telegram in reply to his query as to the truth of the reported agree- ment: Montreal, Quebec, July Harold 1. Smith, New London, (onn.: There is no foundation for report of arrangement between (\. W. Morse and Grand Trunk in regard to service to West Indies. (Signed) J. DALRYMPLE.
