Verdict of the Coronrr's Jary on the
Lake shore wreck.


BUFFALO, March l9-The coroner's jury
investigating the Lake Shore wreck at Ham
burg have returned the following verdict:
''The management of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad company should
be charged with gross negligence for the
reason that the rules and regulations for the
running Of their trains are not strictly en-
forced and that the safety Of passengers is
endangered thereby; that the jury believe
that Division Superintendent Couch has
knowledge that passenger trains have been
run on said road in an unsafe and crippled
condition, and that strict compliance with
the rules would have prevented this acci
dent
"The conductor, Houghtaling, is personal
ly responsible for the accident ior these rea-
sons. First. for leaving Dunkirk with the
air brakes on five cars crippled; second, for
not having safety chains adjusted between
the coach and sleeper; third, for not placing
a trainman on the cars after the first break,
30 as to protect the train in case OF
second break fourth, for pulling
the bell cord TO stop the front section
in violation Of the rules. Daniel Beckwith
the front brakeman, is severely censureo
for leaving the train without first notifying
the passengers that the train had parted and
that there was danger; that the air brakes
that stopped the first portion Of the parted
train were set by some person or person.
