PoUGHKEEPsIE. NY, January 14.-George
MeIius, rear brakeman of the New York
special which was run into last night, and
who is charged with being the cause OF the
disaster, arrived here last night, and went
south this morning with his brother, Con-
ductor Melius, OF the Poughkeepsie train. In
a conversation with the latter he said
he went back with his red light far
enough TO see Spuyten Duyvil bridge, and
that when the Tarrytown train passed him
it was running at the rate Of forty miles per
hour, and the engineer was using steam.
Conductor Melius told him the train could
not have been running that fast, as it had
just left Spuyten Duyvil Station. Brakeman
Melius replied, anyhow, it was going very
fast. Train Dispatcher Cossum SAYS that il
Melius had gone back far enough to see the
Spuyten Duyvil bridge his red light would
have been seen by the Waterman in the sig
nal tower. Brakeman Melius went as far as
Fishkili this morning, and returned BY the
next train. He then left for New York.
