Telegraph Communication Inter- rupted by Accident---Rescue Work Directed by New York Girl (Special to The Evening World.) GENEVA, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Thirty-six persons were killed and sixty were injured to-day when the last two coaches and the diner of the east- bound Train No. 4 on the Lehigh Valley railroad left the track and rolled down a sixty-foot embankment near Manchester, a town of 200 inhab- itants, not far trom this city. A defective rail broke and spread, throwing the coatches and the diner headlong down the steep embankmnt. So great was the force of the wreck that the telegraphic wires along the tracks were put out of commission and it was some thme before the news of the wreck could be sent to Rochester. Then the news came by long distance telephone. Immediately the railroad officials sent a special train with doctors and nurses to the scene. The work of caring for the injured had already been put under way by the residents of the neighborhood. Dtrccting them and taking the leading part in the grim work of the wreck was Miss Lyons, a young woman who is employed by the Proctor & Gamble soap people of New York City. She was spending her vacation at Manchester and was one of the first to get to the scene of the wreck, MANY G. A. R. MEN ON BOARD TRAIN. On the train were many members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who had been attending their annual convention. The train was one of the best and fastest in the service of the road. It left Suspension Bridge at 9.55 A. M. aid was due to reach Jersey City at 9.52 to-night. Detailed statements are made difficult by the fact that the only available telegraphic communication from this point ts over the private Iines of the railroad company, which are badly damaged by the wreck. When the train left the track it plunged sixty feet down an embankment that led to @ pump-housd on the bank of a netgtboring creek. The bed of the creek is eighteen feet below the tracks and the stream !s dry during she summer. The rafiroad offtcials decided to sem the injured to Canandaigua as fast as they could be transported. All the doctors and nurses in that town were ordered on special duty for the relief of the injured. DOCTORS AND NURSES FROM BUFFALO. As the reports from the wreck began to reach the headquarters of the rvallroad at Buffalo and the magnitude of the accident was made known, the Buffalo officials rushed doctors and nurses from that city to take a hand in the rellef work. Wrecking trains were also sent from Rochester to clear the tracks and repair the damage done to the roadway and to the wire connections. At the New York offices of the Lehigh largely members of the Grand Agmy Valley the officials said that the train}of the Republic who were returning to was composed of fourteen cars, drawn| thelr homes after the Rochester con- by two locomotives, The two engines | vention and@ four cars passed in safety over a —_—-—_—_ small bridge that approaches Mai vane fram tie, west, spanning « ary |CYNCH AGAIN UPHOLDS creek DECISION OF UMPIRES.

This letter am@ Beattle’s ad- mission that he wrote it, the defense endeavored in vain to have excluded. The second point of evidence of vital importance was the attempt of the defense iy tear down tho indictment because it alleges only a “wound tn the face," whereas the murdered wife died of a gunshot hole through the head ‘On this point Judge Watson decia the objection un: in@ictment George Jarrell, courRT HoUS ling face, Henry y saw additional legal structure on a Richmond detective called as the first witness at the trial to-day, Assoctated In investigating the case with Detectives Wiltshire and Wrenn, who testified yesterday arter- noon, Jarrell was put on the stand to complete for the prosecution the de- scription of the scene of the crime, the prisoner's demeanor, and his story of the bearded highwayman, BEATTIE CONTRADICTED HIM- SELF ON “BEARDED MAN.” Jarrell related the story of the “beand- ed man," as told to him by Beattle at the Owen home on the night of the murder. He sald the prisoner told him that he thought the man Intended to shoot over his head to frighten him, and the assailant ran into the woods after pe had taken the gun from him. Several other witnesses have declared that Benttle said the man ran down the road. Jarrell described his midnight visit to view the blood spots on Midlothian Turnpike and told of the detective work that preceded the calling in of the blood- hounds. He related Beattle's driving the blood-soaked automobile back to the scene of the crime and placing it on the exact spot where he believed his wife wae killed. At this point Prosecutor Wendenburg endeavored to introduce a map of the scone of the crime, but the defense ob- Jected and {t was withheld. Wenden- burg did, however, draw a rough chart of the scene and examined Jarrell with {ts assistance. He showed that tm the position in which Beattie placed the Automobile the blood spot was to the left of the car, twelve to elghteen inches from the left running board. From thix the State will argue that Mrs, Beattie was killed in the road and the blood could not have dripped twelve inches away from the car. Jarrell de- scribed the location of two stumps on the south side of the road and declared thet @ gun could have been hidden there. “But the stumps have been cut down by souvenir hunters now,” he satd, PRISONER DID NOT WEEP ON NIGHT OF MURDER.
