verdict finding that the danger signals
were properly set, but that owing to the
density of the atmosphere in the tun-
mel Engineer Fowler, of the New

them, and that the officials
of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company are re-
and burning of two of the victims OF
the wreck caused by the upsctting of
car stove, which set fire to the wreck.
In accordance with the finding of the
