Hospital this morning at g. 30.
His death makes the twentieth on the roll Of
that a~ful Tuesday.
Finnigan was the foreman Of the gang Of
ltulians on the wrecked train at tho ume Of the
explosion. He claimed IN his abatement To
Coroner Mitchell, which was printed IN Tus
EVENING WORLD, to have received orders from
Boss Foreman Travis TO bring the dynamite

Tarrytown.
Travers natly denies this, and brings two
witnesses TO support MIN.
Finngans statement Is corroboraicd By
Conductor Connor, also OF tue wreckeu train.
The jury must decide between them, and the
Ulame will eventually rest either on BoB Fore-
man Travers or on the man vino died this
morning.
In either case the New York Central road
will safer.
FinniRau haS been employed on the railroad
for fourteen years and has always borne an ex-
cellenf reputation. The oficials here unite in
the statement that he has never before been
known 70 dlsobey orders, and tnia tact will
doubtless have great weight with the jnrr.
At his dCatabed were FtnnieanS alfe his
brother-in-law, William Dnnphy, OF Psekskill,
and his three doctors. Coutant L,nson and
Freeland.

dilion was critical. and this morning they make
open charges against the Coroner.
Irwin q. Adams and John Y. Zaremba, of
the Bellevue Hospital stan. have been at Finni-
gan's bedside ever since he was Injured. This
morning Adams made the following statement
to an EVENING WORLD reporter. and Zarembs
declared II 10 be true:
"Coroner Mitchell ana his jury have been TO
see Finnigan twico. The irsI time they took
4 long statement from him and left him in an
exhausted condition.
1.-TWO days later his leg was amputated, but
he stood fair chance for recovery.
"Last Monday the Jury came again. Finni-,
gans pulse and respiration were then normal.
The seven men were with him aaif an hour,
although they had no authority 10 see him and
came against the wishes OF tho nurse and the
ma,ron. When they left Finnlgan became
deliIious and his Temperature went up to 1Oa

The matron ~ the hospital indorsea mia ana

man. say she gave the Jury no permiszloa to zee
FnniRan tire second time. Coroasr M,tchsll,
however, says:
"Tne jurors demanded to see l1nnigan the
second time, and had NO right to deny them
the privilege. We did not know that Finnisan
was in a critical condition, and his brother-in-
law offered no objection 10 our visit II was
necessary that FlnniRanS second statements
should be taSen, IN the minds OF the Jury, and
We secured it. lie was our most Important
witness, especially rs he was involved In the
controversy regarding the cause OF the Oxpio-
sion.
the jurors went there on their own re-
sponsiollity. and heard no protest from any
one."
