THE OLD STORY.
One Man Expected to Do the Work
of Three, and Disaster.

WILLIMANTIc, Conn, Oct. 19-Charles
w. Carroll. the telegraph operator who is
believed to be responsible for the disas-
trous wreck on the New London and
Northern railroad last week, in which five
men were killed, came into town this
morning and gave himself up to the au-
thorities.
Carroll talks freely about the matter.
He says that he was in the woods until
last night, when he went To the home OF
an uncle near the town of Hampton.
Regarding the accident, he states that
he was in the furnace room at the ~ alton
when the Norwich train passed and was
not asleep. Besides operating the tele-
graph key, he acted as station agent and
looked after the switches in the vicinity.
These duties he claims called him away
from his instrument frequently.
lie says that when he answered the
New London operator on the wire he told
him that the Norwich train had passed,
aud he denies hat the man there told him
to hold auy train.
He says that he had been down in the
basement aud on his way back he looked
at the register.
Hethen went to the key and found New
London calling him. lie answered. and
then received All order telling him to hold
the Norwich train and have il take the
slulnk NJ lndmcSNllle 10 allow tnc lr8L-
81, boro train 10 pass
He told the New London dispatcher
that his was impossible as the trains had
gone by.
About $40 o'clock he received a mes
sage from New London stating that the
trains had eollided. He stayed around
the station for about AN hour. he kept
thinking about the wreck and realized
that several lives must be lost.
He made up his mind TO run away, and
went into the WOODS. He claims that be
did not know what he was dong, believ-
ing that he was respon sible for the acci-
dent in not stepping the train.
1t is limited that the road is not anxious
to prosecute Carroll, and that he may
get off. 1t is alleged that his duties were
more than one man could attend TO, and
that the road wishes TO avoid an investi-
CATION.
The fact that the road has made no et-
fort To capture the man aud that its Off
GERS have been very re ticeut about the
matter strengthens this opinion in the
minds of many. Carroll s but 20 years
old. lie was taken to New London this
afternoon at 800.
