THE CHICAGO " ALTON RAIL,
ROAD SLAUGHTER.
The Investigation Before the CorO.
nGT.


nGT.
CmCA0O, August l9.-Thc Coroner's
investigation OF the recent collision on
the Chicago & Alton Railroad was re.
sumed this morning. The principal wit
ness examined was Joshua PuilenburgGT,
the engineer Of the coal train locomotive.
His testimony showed that the passenger
train had been run in careless manner
the night Of the accident. He says that
he looked at his watch at Lemont and
found that he had plenty OF time to run to
Willow Springs, lIty minutes aud over.
Il was exactly niue o'clock when he left
Lemont. Told Conductor Bean that he
was g,dng on TO Sag 10 take on water,
aud the latter answered, "all right; 60
ahead" The collision occurred twenty.
i've minutes afterwards. lie then com.
pared his watch with those Ol some Of
the men on the passenger train and found
II an hour slow. Could not account Tor
the condition Ol the watch Would not
have lett LemOnt ii he had had the cor.
rect time, even though the conductor gave
him orders. Did not consider Bean fit TO
run any train. The witness detailed some
conversation he had with Bean Rtter the
accident from which 1t would appear that
Bean was totally ignorant Of the time At
which the collision took place and the
circumstances attending the catastrophe.
Bean has not yet been arrested, but the
police arc on his track. The general feel.
ing through the city is that an example
should be made OF the engineer and con-
duCLor.
