The engineer: of the passenger train stuck to his post and escaped injury. €AUSED BY BREAK OF COUPLING. .. The vwreck..was caused by the breaking of a coupling in the freight tgain, which was drawn by two locomotives, The break occurred as the freight was being shifted to @ siding to allow the Limited to pass, *; “About half the train was left on the main track. When the conductor of the freight discovered that his train had broken in two he uncoupled front locomotive and sent it down to the station to warn the Operator the track was not clear, Then he had the second locomotive back draw the rear end of the train onto the siding. ‘operator, seeing the forward locomotive's headlight coming to- ward him in the fog, thought that the whole train was on the siding and pignal giving the Limited a clear track. In the meantime, the "train crew, supposing that the operator would be warned in time the red signal, were at work on the broken coupling. the passenger train. with signals showing clear, crashed into the side ' of the freight at the rate of fifty miles an hour, The locomotive, baggage ear, coach and two sleepers left the rails and ran along the level ground feet diagonally from the track, striking and demolishing a small schoolhouse.

Three of them were held in Jefferson Market Court, ong, Lupo, on a charge of counterfeiting, arid the others, Lorenzo Labaido and Giuseppe Fanele, for perjury. It was brought out in the examination of Fanele that he called at office of Lawyer John J, Connell about two weeks ago in company Bendetto. .

The caller asked that the prisoner be told that Bendetto was there to see him. De Prima came down and the two had a talk together for half an hour. Then the man went away, Dé Prima refused to see reporters to-day. ‘ HIS SON IDENTIFIES HIM. An Evening World correspondent went to the ets of Bendetto im, Buffalo this afternoon with a copy of this newspaper of last Tuesday, Salvatore Bendetto, a son of the murdered man, produced a photograph of his father. This photograph and The Evening World photograph taken in the Morgue were found to be identical. : “It is certainly my father,” said Salvatore. “He has been away front home for about two weeks. The last we heard of him he was in New, York. This was nearly two weeks ago. He wrote then that he was cormé ing home. Since then we have not heard.” The identification was in many respects brought about as strangely was the raid on the thirteen Italian suspects. Out of this raid and the sels ure of papers resulting from it will probably come the clearing up of the mystery, FIRST IDENTIFICATION DRAMATIC. From letiers found in the effects of the suspects under arrest the polles learned that Joseph De Prima, serving a four years’ sentence for counter » | felting in Sing Sing, is a brother-in-law of Bendetto. Detective-Sergt. Petro- sini went to Sing Sing taking with him a copy of The Evening World pho- tograph. He showed it to De Prima, who promptly fainted away, ? “It is my brother-in-law Bendetto,” he said, when he had recovered. “He wes up to see me a week ago yesterday and said he would start to Buffalo the next day.” The identification of the dead man as George Morrissette, the profes sional strike breaker from Waterbury, Conn,, was exploded simultaneously with confirmation of the Buffalo identification, Mrs. Morriasette examined ~ the body in the Morgue and said that it was not that of ber husband, ale © though she admitted that the resemblance was striking, J The thirteen prisoners were arraigned in Jefferson Market Court this afternoon, when Lorenzo Labaldo, one of the suspects, was held on @ charge of perury. This man came from Italy on March 16 last, and there is a suspicion that he was sent to New York solely for the purpose of doing away with Bendetto, 5 THE SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
