pany, for the careless and irregular manner in
which trains are run, and consider him indi-
rectly responsible for the catastrophe. Two
OF the jurors find Daniel F. Chase. engineer of
the mail train, also guilty of carelessness. An

Three other jurors find r. j. Race, Conduc-
tor, and Daniel F. Chase, Engineer, of the
