THE FATAL RAILWAY COLLIN°, NEAR
WARRINGTON.

WARRINGTON, FRIDAY.

The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of
James Partridge, James Gill, Mary Elizabeth Adcock,
Edmund Gibson, and Sarah Cochin, killed by the recent
railway accident at Warrington, was held before the coro-
ner today.
The assistant general manager of the London and
North Western Railway Company was present with other
officials. Mr. Roberts, from the office of Mr. Blenkinsop.
London, represented the railway company • Mr. Jones,
solicitor, being present on behalf of the friends of the de-
ceased Thomas Jones. . _

Eariiyeste;la;;;;;ning, Mr. Win. Jones, of Bath, who
had received serious injuries in the chest and bead, died
in the Convalescent Hospital, whither be had been ree.
moved Irons the rune of the resident. This makes sight
deaths as the result of the collision.

The jury haring risiiedthe scene of the accident, re-
turned to the inquest room, when the following witnesses
were emoioned :

Mr. Skelton said—l am a marine-store dealer, Ruing is
Warrington. On Saturday last 1 was at Walto•-pits
about a quarter to 12 o'clock. I was about b 0 yards float
the railway bank, on the Arpley aide at the London and
North Western Railway frost Warringtea to Crewe. I
saw a coal train standing ou the Chester line, and at the
same moment I noticed • passeagartrairtenejaa, Meet

line, and I heard a great crash. My face was at the mo-
ment turned away from the railway. When I heard the
crash I turned round and saw the coal eying about, and
some of the pauseuger carriages reared up uncover the other.
I got over the bridge and on to the line, and saw several
persons seriously injured, and some appeared to be dead.
I assisted some of the wounded, and while I was standing
there a young man, whose name Ido not know, suggested
to we that we should go and see the points oo the shunt
line. The points were from of: to sixty yards from the
place at which the collision occurred. As we went to-
wards the points the young man who had spoken to me
made a remark about the points. He seemed thoroughly
to understand them. I did not notice anything particular
about the signals. I did not look at the pointsman's box,
and cannot say whether or not the p"intsinan was there.
When we went to the points we fouml that the points on the
Arpley side were open, and those on the Bank Quay side
were eland.

The Coroner here remarked that the evidence of the per-
son who had accompanied this witness was very important
to the inquiry. He had caused an advertisement to be in-
serted in one of the lucid papers requesting the young man
referred to to come forward and give evidence' and he
trusted that he would do so before the piveent inquiry
cloned.

By Mr. Moore—About five minutes elapsed between the
time when I .w the coal train standing on the branch
line, and the time when I perceived the priseenger train.
Before I heard the crash I heard some one say, ' There's
going to be a pitch in." The crash of the collision fol-
lowed almost immediately upon this. I should know the
houng man with whom I went to see the points if he were
ere. Neither the rails nor the points were injured in any
way. I did not see any coal nor the appeaninoe of any
coal having fallen between the points.
By Mr. Moore (through the Coroner)—When I say that
certain points were closed I mean that the points were in
such a position that the passenger train was obliged to
follow the coal train on to the Chester line.
Mr. Joseph W. Chatfield identified the body of the
woman hitherto unknown as that of Mrs. Sarah Cochin,
widow of the late John Cochin, of East Itetford. She was
63 years of age. She was travelling from Liverpool to Bir-
mingham at the time she met with the accident that caused
her death.

At this stage of the proceedings the court adjourned for
half an hour.

On the court resuming,
Mr. Roberts stated that he had just received a telegram
from Colonel Yolland, the officer appointed by the Board
of Trade to investigate the circumstances attending the
accident, in which he said that be should leave Luston.
square for Warrington at nine o'clock on Monday, morning.
He (Mr. Roberta) mentioned this for the information of
the coroner and the jury: and he should if tai.sible like to
know what would be the course pursued with respect to an
adjournment in case they were not able to complete the
evidence on that day.
The Coroner said there was little doubt that it would be
necessary to adjourn again, and he suggested Friday next
as a suitable day. This suggestion was, after some discus-
sion, agreed to, and the examination of the witnesses was
proceeded with.
Robert Crook said—l am employed by the railway com-
pany es a shunter, at Walton Junction. JOllll Howson and
William Pilling are the pointamen. I remember a coal
train been shunted on to thet 'herder line, somewhere about
a quarter to twelve on Saturday morning last. It was
not part of my duty to shunt that train. About ten
minutes after the coal train had been shunted I saw
the passenger train coming up from Warrington. After
seeing the coil train shunted I went up to the pointwan's
box. This was before the passenger train came up. How-
son we. in his box. I observed when it was too late 'hat
the points were open for the Chester line. I called out
"Oh my God, Howson, them points!" I don't know
whether Howson said anything. I didn't bear hint if he
did. I don't know whether he did anything. The pas-
senger train ran along the line right into the coal traits.
The engine tinseled the van of the coal train, and several
of the cetriages were doubled up. I cannot say that I
noticed whether the safety signal was up or not. Howson
was sober. Pilling, the other pointaman, was not there.
Howson had been on duty about en hour when the accident
took place. He had gone off duty on the previous night
at 0 o'clock. The break-van of the coal train was about
50 yards distant from the points at the junction.
Bye Juryman--The passenger train had nut left War-
rington when the coal train was shunted on to the branch
line. At the time when I made the exclamation to How-
son about the points the passenger train was about four
yards off the points, and it was too late for Howson to do
anything.
By Mr. Moore —Howson was on a bit of land near his
box at the time the coal train was shunted. I did not see
him. It was the duty of Rovrson, when he had the necem
nary books, to enter the time of departure of every train.
I did out see him making any entry in a book. I did not
examine the points or the rails after the accident. There
is only one aiding at the junction, and it is on the brand
line. The points are facing points, but I don't know
whether or nut they were self-acting.
Thos Carter said— I am an engine driver in the service
of the London and North Western Railway Cutup ,ny. I
have been with them 1./ years. On Saturday last I (hove
the passenger train from Liverpool to Birmingham. ft
left lidghdl at 10.44 a.m. We lett Warri, gton at 11.25.
We were then ten minutes late. The distance signals
were sat" clanger," but when I whistled they were lowered
to " all right.' I had blown my whistle before I got to
the distance signal, and when I saw it was all right I c, nit
on at full speed. 1 blew my whistle because the signals
were wrong for me, but when I blew they were ,et right. I
was going at from I`i to 20 miles en hoer. When we reached
the points I did not notice that they were rimer. I
did not know of it till I found my engine on hhe Ch, ..ter
line. I did not see the coal train till I was within 14 or
15 yards of it. I had no time to do more than shut the
regulator, and bold on fast to the wheel. The oremaa
Ylw. in the act of firing at the moment. I could tint give
you the least idea of what followed.
By a Juryman—lt is not unusual to crow, a junction at
the rote of 20 miles an hour, supposir.g the si:rnele to
show all clear. We have to go at from 34 to :ai milt. an
boor on this journey in order to keep our tone.
By Mr. Moore-1 never before saw a coal or luggage
train shunted on 'he ChesbireJunction line when we w ere
tossing. If there had been • stone or anythint• between the
points we should have felt a jolting while pausing over. Ws
.lid nut feel any jolting on Pesturday. Idu not know thins
there has ever been a collisi on thievery Piet before. We
were ten minute. late at Warrington but we did nut there-
fore stay a thee ter time in the station, or proceed at a
greater epee,' out of it.
Thos. Noakes. fireman on the engine driven by the hat
witness, who appeared to be suffering severe'y froze the
effecta of the accident, gave evidence confinuatory of diet
sworn to by the driver.
Caleb lieriot said-1 was brealcsnian of the coal train
with which the paseenger train slime into collision. I left
Warrington at 11.28, and the passenger train was due at
11.21. Mr. Westgar, the inspector at Warrington station,
gave me orders to shunt at Walton Junction. I have re-
peatedly shunted at this junction before. I was sitting in
my break, with my back to the Warrington station, when
tae pamencer train came up, and I did not know anything
of the collision till it was over, and I found myself lying on
the ground.
By Mr. Moore—To the beet of my recollection there re.,,
a collision at this place last year. I saw Howson n his
hex after the accident. He seemed very much cast down,
alai said it was a bad job.
Isaac Brackenbury and John Lowton, guards of the pas-
senger train, were next examined, but their evidence was
corroborativepimply of that of Carter, the driver.
One or two other witnesses having been examine I, the
inquiry was adjourned for a week.
WARRINGTON, FRIDAT Regatta.
John Howson, the pointatitan, has been spier!. ,tied,
and charged with manslaughter. He has been remanded
until Monday, bail being accepted in 4001.
