To Tralnmas- ter A. H. Walker, who has charge of the running of trains on the broad and nar- row gauge system, McCuen made similar admissions. Division Superintendent Fra- zier has suspended McCuen, but none of the other members of the vard crew has been relieved from duty. Trainmaster Walker made the following explanation to-day concerning the acei- dent: “The switch which caused the trouble is known as a ground switch. After dark a light is set at the lever so that if it is not ‘thrown’ the engineer has a red dan- r signal to guide him.

MYSTERY OF THE SAN | PEDRO SUICIDE ENDS Mrs. B. € Willlams, Saratoga, Cal. i5 p. m.—*The Pacific Coast Churches and the Orient | there must have been two men by the name of Thomas H. Jones, one of whom committed suicide by jumping from the steamer‘San Pedro while A(‘c-onm.\'@ to the statement of J. Beach of 519 Sixteenth street, Oakland, el was lying in Drakes Bay, where she put for shelter during a the ve heavy storm. When the sulcide’s body was found a few days later a search of his pockets the finders revealed only a nickel and the people of San Rafael and Petaluma rted a story of foul play, claiming that Jones had been robbed of his money They offered as a reason for their theory that when last seen in Petaluma, where he was well known, Jones had exhibited con- { siderable wealth and was in company with two susplclous characters. | Mr. Beach's story Is to the effect that the body of the sulcide is' that of © Thomas H. Jones, not of Petaluma, but resident of Colfax, who had relatives in Grass Valley. Joseph Shelby, Mr. Beach’s brother-in-law and also a resident of | Colfax, ieft with his wife on the San Pedro for Nome, where they intend to open a restaurant, and before leaving pald fo- a passage for T. H. Jones, who was . without funds, and agreed to give him employment in the northern city. | Beach says Jones had five or six friends on the steamer and that he drank | heavily just before his departure on the northern trip. Mr. Beach received a let- | ter from William Bowland, purser of the San Pedro, written at the time the vessel was in Drakes Bay, stating that it was a clear case of guicide while men- tally unbalanced, and that there was no mystery about the matter at all. Beach says that his friend Jones had not been at Petaluma and that there must be an- other Thomas H. Jones. This pafses the question of what has become of the other Jones, the man with the money and the suspicious acquaintances. by | and then thrown overboard. 1 The Pacific Coast Congregational Con- | A.

Troy Meets Awful Death Under Lo- comotive Wheels. Body Cut in Two — Unfortunats | Woman Fails to Heed the Warn- ing Whistles of the Engineer. e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 23. Mrs. Kate Troy, the wife of John H. Troy, one of the best-known insurance men in Oakland, was struck by the Sev- enth street local train this eyening and in- stantly killed. When the body was taken out from under the train it was found that the wheels had passed over her at the waist, cutting her fairly in two. The train was bound west and was just pulling into Center street station, when Mrs. Troy made her appearance walking down Center street. She apparently paid no attention to the approaching train and walked right onto the track directly in front of the locomotive. in spite of the fact that Engineer Clark was blowing his whistle. Mrs. Troy must have been deeply ab- sorbed in thought or she would certainly have seen and heard the train. Engineer Clark says he expected every moment that she would turn and walk parallel with the train, but instead of that she walked directly in front of the engine. The train was in charge of Engineer Clark and Conductor Leitner. “The woman was not fifty feet from m:; | engine when she stepped on the track, said Engineer Clark. I whistled, but she did not seem to hear it. I threw the re- versing lever over, but it was too late and the engine struck her full.” She must have rolled under the train for the body from under the wheels and was cut two.
