BUFFALO, March lA.-Ihe eoroner's in
quest into she b " View disaster was con
tinued The significant part Of the pro-
ceedngs was the failure to clear up the

from the book Of rules OF the road. "We
think Mr. HoughtaIing broke these rules
when he started the train from Dunkirk as
he did Ii he had lived up TO tho rules the
train wonld nave been repaired at Dun
kirk
The court stated that the engineer was
jointly responsible with the conductor, and
with the train in the condition it was any
trainman would have been held by the com.
pany as justified in refusing TO 80 ahead.
Juror Leech rather cornered Mr. Couch by
asking how many brakemen there were on
this train MIR Couch replied that there
were two on duty.
''But had the train broken in two more
than once,n asked Mr.. Leech, "would there
have been men enough on to handle the
sectionln Mr. Couch replied "NoN
Some Of the jurors seemed TO think the
relief train was slow in getting to the
wreck. Mr.. Couch said the only delay was
in getting surgeons 10 60. ''rhere were no
orders as to who might go on the relief
train said Mr.. Couch III had been here
should have allowed reporters to 60"
