Thomas Ward, manager of the “Rough Rider,” and a cousin of the owner, William J. Ward, President of the Coney Island Bank, was arraigned to-day before Magistrate Nash, in the Coney Island Court, to answer & charge of homicide. The poliee al- leged that he permitted negligert driving of the car which caused the tragedy, but as they did not produce any witnesses to substantiate the charge, the case was adjourned uatil Friday and Ward continued in his bail of $5,000. Magistrate Nash said he believed the police would have difficulty ip proving neglect on Ward's part, and thought that civil action for dam- ages alone could be instituted against him, Ward's counsel, Wilson & Van Wagoner, of No. 164 Montague Street, Brooklyn, stated that they would pro- duce witnesses to prove that the “Rough Rider” was safe and that it had only recently been inspected by the Building Department. It is not belleved the exact cause of the accident will ever be known, as the driver was instantly killed when the two-car tcain leaped from the track. The cars had made several rounds of the structure—going first up, then Gown and swerving suddenly at cer- tain points in @ manner from which the passengers take the name of “Rough Riders.” On the last turn, and within perhaps two minutes from the end of the trip for the exeursion- ists, the car took a sudden swerve, leaped the track and Was overturned. Several other passengers in the cars were thrown out, but managed to clutch the trestle work and escaped serious injury. site Cr LMB ‘an and 8.3 33d Street BL Closes 5.30 SALE of Five back enamel bedroom resources of this greatest for your special attention less.
