DIED BY his OWN NEGLIGENCE.
The Jury's Verdict in the Case of Pat
rick Gross.

The Jury's Verdict in the Case of Pat
rick Cross.
Coroner SheftaIl held an inquest at the
Morgue yesterday over the remains of
Patrick Cross, who died on Sunday after
noon, from injuries received by being run
over by a ear in the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway yard. The testi-
mony confirmed in the main the report of
the accident which appeared in the MORN
ING NEWS yesterday.
Among the witnesses sworn was H.
Crosby, engineer of locomotive No. IS,
who testified that he knew nothing Of the
accident until the morning af-
ter it occurred. Locomotive No. 16
was attached to the train which pushed
the car over the unfortunate man.
James Garnett, the fireman of the en-
zine. also testified that he knew nothing
of the accident but that he was ringing
the bell of the engine at the time it took
place.
CYRUS Davis, a switchman, testified that
he was at a distance of from 50 to SO cars
from the point where the accident took
place. and that he saw no red flag on the
cars, as required by the rules,to warn the
engineer of danger,
Richard ii. Freeman, chief switchman,
testified that he saw. Cross when he
was being carried away, but did
not learn that he was seriously
hurt. He knew however, that the cars
not attached to the train were on the track
in the rear of it, but saw no red flag as a
signal of danger.
John E. Molloy testified that Cross and
himself went under the car to avoid
the rain. When the car was
struck he got from under it,
but Cross in attempting to follow got
caught under the truck, which passed
over him. The bottom spring board of the
second truck caught him ON his left
shoulder and the right elbow at the same
time. 1t was impossible to signal the
engineer. as the locomotive was 80 cars
off and around curve.
DIR, Duncan testified as to the immediate
cause of death. and the jury about
O'Clock returned a verdict finding that the
unfortunate man came to his death from
injuries received while employed by the
railway, but that his injuries were owing
to his own negligence in not taking the
precautions laid down in the company's
rules. The remains were inferred in the
Cathedral Cemetery.
