THE CITY OF NORWICH & ELEGTRICAL DEPARTMENT 321 Main Street, Alice Building ® " TRIAL RESUMED | nal System—Pawrcatuck H: Time From Cooked Ham. The superior court for Washington county, Judge Rathbun, presiding, re- convened at Westerly Monday and the trial of Charles H. Mansfield, charged with_manslaughter in connection with the Bradford wreck on the night of April 17, was resumed. | Thus ‘far the testimony has been of o technical nature, being confined | to the manner of the method of work- ing_the, signal system. When court came' in Monday morn- ing, the cighth day of the trial, George | L. Anderson was the first witness call- ed.” He is a resident of West Mys- tic and repairman for the signal de- | partment for six years and prior to | that a wireman in the same depart- | ment, and was an electrician. He was repairman at the time of the wreck and was employed from Midway to Wood River Junction. His duty was to keep the signals in tnat scction in correct working order, and under Fore- man, Newman. He also inspected the | signal apparatus in the tower and the clectrical service connected with the i levers, but not the levers sepafately. He | had nothing to do with the interlociing ‘of the levers. He inspected the plant at Bradford on Saturdays. On the Saturday before the Monday of the he cleancd and oiled and ad- ted the apparatus He tesied the lectrical apparatus twice a month 24 this test was made two weeks be- | e the wreck, and he found things s? they should be. On the night of | [the wreck he was called to Bradford | at 9.30 and wont into the signal tower | s fifteen_minutes after arrival | dtord. He locked the levers at | the use of | 2.30 the next morning, by retamning pins. He remained on watch | until 7.50 when he was relieved by into the tower !

If the | train was between ana first me signal, the blade of the distant | * signal could not /be changed, on ac- count of Jack ef electrical turrent. He then told in detail of the working of the syste: Bradford could not give Wood River an unlock swsn a n be_ tween the distant and first home i nal. : It is mechanically imoossible to put | the home signal at danger and leave | the distant signal clear, nor can the | unlock be given as the plunger is me- chenically locked under such condi- | tions. Both, these signals must be at | danger in order to sive an unlock for another train to leave the Wood River block. To put a train from the main Ifffe to the siding a* Bradford, it would be necessary—to-have - second home ot red and the distant at yellow, for it would otherwise be mechanically im- possible to put the train on the sid- ing. If blade of distant failed to g0 hack to mormal it would be impossi- | ble to lock the second home by the lever, owing to electrical control. It requires electrical control to lock the| distant an home signals. If second| home lever was not clear back the re- | sult would be the same on account of | the Interlocking divice. It would be impossible to change the home signale with a train on the cir- change the advance signal without an unlock from Bradford. With all sig- nals clear at Bradford, and with an unlock for that train, the towerman before a second train could come into the block, an unlock would have to be given from Wood River, and after the train had reached the distant signal at Westerly. After levers are set at normal or danger, they cannot be re- leased except by an unlock Mr. Anderson, upon cross-examina- tion by Mr. Fitzgerald, testified that ha had operated outside the Midway and Wood River district, and on as far as; Slocums. The west bound signals ea of Bradford in the main are manuall controlled. _The block between Brad- ford and Wood River would be the Wood River block, that is from the home to home siznal. . The distance to that block is west of the Bradford tower, alohough not physically in that block’ it is under the same control. The Wood River distant signal going east is manually controlled, the next east of Shannock is semi-automatic, and the same as bétween Bradford and Wood River. He could tell there was a difference between the wiring in the tower houses but he could not tell just what - the: difference was. He did know there was a blue print at the #$radford tower until about ten weeks ago and it' has' disappeared. Witness saw another blue print else- where and the last he saw of it, it was in the court house buildjng. (A'ttorney General Phillips declared that the oth- er blue-print had been stolen from the tower and the oné now in evidence was in the possession of Mr. Nicholson.) Witness said he saw the blue print of the Bradford tower last Thursday and went over it with Mr. Nicholson to see that it was right, but not to retresh his memory.

Anderson—Minute Evidence Concerning Sig- as More Poisoning Cases, This who made the blue print in the tower, 2nd he did not know of any other be- ing in existence except the one at the tower, untll this trial was commenc- ed. 'He knew the blue print in_the tower was correct and it was kept locked up in “our cupboard,” in rail- road property, a part of the signal de. partment, and is distinct for the towerman’s department. The witness said he had a key to the cupboard that held the blue print, and he could open cupboards In other towers. Wit- ness never too care of the West- erly tower, for there is a maintainer at Westerly. The signals in Wester- ly block are semi-automatic, they are of different type than those at Bradford but aré worked the same. The signal cable enters the tower at about fifteen feet from the entrance door, and below the floor of the oper- ator and the wires are distributed to different sources. The current is from cells in the tower. A set of bat- teries at the distant signal operated that signal tower. At this point the court took a recess. Signal Repairman Anderson resumed his testimony at the opening of the afternoon session, and the cross exam- ination was resumed by Mr. Fitzger- ald. He said he had no talk in re- lation to signals during the recess, but ad a talk with # foreman signalman. Fle bhad talk with him about signals but not in relation to this case. The batteries that control the distant slg— the nal are ~ in a locked box in | ground. The lock is a standard and witn, had a key, but ne aid not { know whether other signal maintainers had keys to like boses along the line. The electric lock at the signal is in a gravity box at the signal that i mechanically operated. He did not know a gravity box could be released lonly in the regulated way. An oper- ator cannot get an unlock without th al current. The unlock is what releases the starter and the theory of the signal system is that this must be { done before the signals can be set at | clear.

It is casy to substitute metal for isinglass and could be done readily by a man who had a key to the gravity box.

At 430 court adjourned 10.30 Tuesday morning. to Following the wood alcohol poison- ing cases that gave Westerly a place on the map, and caused several deaths, and followed in due time by the alleged pie polsoning cases, with more deaths, claimed to have emanat- cd from a restaurant on the bridge, but never clearly proven, and which tended continuation of unfavorable prominence, comes more wholesale polsoning cases. But this timoe the poison is directly traceable to cooked fresh ham purchased in a delicatessen store in Pawcatuck, not far from the bridge. The ciaim is made that the infected meat was sold at retail in the same condition that it was pur- chased at wholesale, and that if this meat has cavsed the ptomaine or metallic poisoning the fault is not with the local ‘store. The whole mat- ter will be investigated by Dr. C. F. Congdon, health officer for the town of Stonington. The persons -poisoned by eating of this cooked meat are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E.
