Ib. 15¢ on the Stand. | The fourth day of the trial of Engi- neer Charles H. Mansfield, on two charges of manslaughter in causing the deaths of Miss Janet Clark and Mrs. Olivia Martell, in connection with the railroad wreck at Bradford, on the night of April 17, last, brought out some important, and at times con- flicting testimony. -The case is being tried before Judge Elmer Rathbun and a jury. When court opened Wednesday morning, John E. McClusky, who was on the witness stand when adjourn- ment was reached Tuesday, resumed his testimony, «on cross examination by Attorney John J. Fitzgerald. Just before coming into court he had not talked with the prosecuting officers. He had sixteen years' experience in the block signal. The home signal and distant signal cannot be changed, without an unlock from Westerly. The rails are banded and -cannot be un- locked without release, by the plung- er, but that is not the gravity boxes, which have nothing to do with the plunger. The gravity boxes are an extra precaution, and they are re- leased when the train is in'the block. They have nothing to do: with the block system. Until the plunger at Bradford is pushed in Wood River Junction cannot give the unlock, and a live wire controls tha plnnzer. In order to open the siding switch for 633 train, all signals must be mor- mal, and the switch could mnot worked otherwise. It would survrise him to know that the mext morning after the collision a_freight train did £0 on the siding, without the signal: being in on as stated by the witnes: s at Bradford that morning in order to get the frain at Bradford for New London, where he has I for two months, but his home is in Bradford. He was #there when the jury took a view of the cene. He would be surprised to know when the jury as present, a t train w the siding with the home distant signal set at clear, as i a mechanically impossibilit could be done provided no train was between the da gnal and the switch. Before the locks on the switch can be work- ed the signals must be at danger. Then witness said to the attoiney: “Proceed with vour cuestioning!” Mr. Fitzgerald complimented him on the management of the trial. Before the al can be changed all ot} must be at normal. With nal clear all others-must n order to release the . fir second home signals,” the others be changed by unlock from iver Junction.

The crash did not come at that time but came be- fore they could get-out of the tower. Mr. McClusky said he could have seen the home signal when he went linto the tower. but not four minutes later when 25 came along. After the wreck he went to the rear of 25 train and saw the light was burning at the home signal, as_directed by the book of rules when an engineer runs by signals.

He could have seen the headlight of 25 when K train _came around the curve beyond the distant signal, but could not tell whether he did see it there, but he did see the train between the distant and the first home signal. If he looked he could have seen 25 rounding the curve, and did not want to revise his testimony that the train was going at 50 miles an hour when he first saw the lwad- light, and when reaching the home signal. Mr. McClusky testified that he knew the emergency was applied when train 25 broke apart, but aid not know it until he came out of the tower, but before that he saw the sparks fly on the track and part of it standing in front of the tower. With a train go- ing fifty miies an hour, he saw the train break in two, and after the train had proceeded 500 feet. The witness. said the distant signal was ignored, and for that reason he went out to inspect, but did not go to the dis- tant tower. The cros: inF e Just before the noon recess Tower- man McCluskey testified that if the | caution signal was at clear it would indicate, that an approaching train had a clear way, and farther that a train after passing the distant signal it clear, could have the danger sig- nal set against it, by the operation of levers in the tower house. In previ- ous testimony this was said to be a mechanical impossibility. Mr. Mc- Clusky, continuing his testimony, stated that he had read the testimony he gave before the coroner and made changes before he affixed his sizna- | ture to his type-written testimony. He} read this testimony three or four days after he testified and affixed his sig- ature tc each page. Before the col- lision he saw the train break in two {by “application of emergency brakes and flving sparks from the train | wheels.

The block sig the ad- nce, must be at normal, and sc must the distant, before an unlock could be had from Westerly, and the other sig- nals were not reqiired. Train 25 after the accident was in the Westerly block nd witness permitted the locomotive of 633 out from the siding on the main line and with a clear signal for West- erly. There is a method of announce- ment, one tower to the other, when train passes by the home at the ad- vance block, but did not know what the book says on that point, or can| wait untii the train goes by the block signal, that depends upon the men. It means pull the sig; in is in the block. The Gilt Edge is a fast through train, and locals are sided to let it go by, but both trains are first class. It was 4.15 when McClusky left the stand. Herman P. Haley, station agent at present, and on night of wreck was train despatcher at New London. He testified that a train sheet was kept daily, and one in use on the night of wreck was identified and introduced. Train 623 arrived at Bradford at 7 and departed at 7.01. The record does not show departure of 633, but arrived at 7.26, and record showed in_wreck at Bradford. Train 35 passed Wood River at 7.27 and arrived at Bradford at 7.3 The train sheet was marked for iden- tification. He instructed Bradford that 633 go to station at Bradford, go on siding and transfer to 25, by reason of engine not steaming. He aleo instruct- ed that 25 be stopped at Bradford to pick up passengers. The messages for both tralus weré of equal importance, and they were instructions, and not orders. This movement would not come under the head of train orders. The instructions to both trains were under | the same heading and the rules require that orders should be in writing and delivered to parties interested, but the rule is not applied in all emergency cases. He received a telegram from the towerman asking for instructions. And they were given. The written mes- sage intended for 25 was in the same form as that sent to 633. He received the arrival of 25 at Bradford, but could not tell whether he received the time before or after the wreck, or whether he recorded it later. Record of wreck is made in office but does not give the time report of wreck was received by the train despatcher. | oHlliday, Joseph Rowan mings for Fall and Winter.
