“RAILROADS FEAR THE WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1903. Attorneys for the Traction Com- pany and Lackawanna Sud- denly Develop an Interest in the Newark Trolley Horror. GRAND JURY GETS TO WORK. Testimony So Far Introduced Tends to Place Responsibility on Traction Company and Corporation Law- yers Were on Hand. | When Coroner Hellman to-day resumed the inquest in Newark on the Clifton avenue trolley horror the representatives of the Nort Jersey Traction Company and Lackawanna Ratiroad evinced an joterest in the examination of witnesses that contrasted strangely with thelr calm of yesterday, The fact that the Grand Jury has been called together in special session to in- quire Into the case, together with the trend of the evidence thus far taken, which tends to place responsibility on the street railway, are accepted as the reasons for the change of front. Former Gov. Werts, who repre- sents the North Jersey corporation, be- Ban putting questions to witnesses through Prosecutor Riker. They were |°" all intended to show the resporsibll.ty of the Lackawanna with reference to the condition of th the time of the acc no consolation, ho . for ali the witnesses testified positively that the Kates were down and had been down for a sufficient length of time before the ‘ley car crashed through them to ve enabled it to have come to a stop under ordinary o:reumstances, No Sand in Box or on Rail, Charles I, Schultz, a printer, o} br 234 Orange street, Newark, ga) sational testimony, He swore ti Le examined the trolley car after the wreck and there was no sand in its box nor on the rails, “There was no sand in the box.” said he, “and there was none on ‘the ralls, Half an hour after the collision an employe of the company came along and ctarted to fill the box. I stopped him right short. When I drove him away from the car he began to use the sand to sprinkle the rails. The crowd was pretty angry. They weren't in a humor to stand much and they licked the fellow. He ran away.” Geneveso, the Italian sandman, was release] from custody yesterday after giving his testimony, told how he had been attacked by a number of men when he tried to sand the rails after the wreck. His story dovetails perfectly with Schultz's, who| a to Chester D. man, tested auto. —_—_.

In the midst of the excitement some one fired‘a revolver from the window to call the police and the guests who had not been awakened at first thought that the big gun at Sandy Hook was being on Thirty-fifth stret. When Johnstone had been pried off, the | % frightened burglar was able to gasp out that his name was WilHam Brown and that his home was In Philadelphia. said that this was his first attempt at house-breaking and that he had been driven to it by a strange chain of cir- cumstances, “Two Johnstone and the other guests, “I had a nice home in Pilladelphi: lived with my wife ana three children, all girls—Anastasia, Margaret and Elsie.
