It was stated that the doubie-header freight, before leaving- Willimantic, received what is known as a close-in order, in which the fact was set forth that there was another train ahead.of their train and that they were to pro- ceed w i the first freizht, left illimantic about 1 a. m.

This train came along without incident, On the down grade between the sta- tions in Abington and Pomfret the brakes were repeatedly applied on’ this train to keep its speed well under con- trol and the speed w kept down to approximately 15 miles an hour, Near the Pomfret station the brakes were released to give the train a start down the grade, so as to be able to make the upgrade just beyond and the speed had increased to hetween and 25 miles an hour when the train crashed into the rear of No. 0, which was laboring up the grade at. slow speed. The hearing also was featured by the statement of Trainman Jacob.Lax, vine, who was in the caboose of the double-header freight, that between Abington and Pomfret their train was passed by another freight, west bound for.
