broke down, throwing it up onto the one
just ahead, also fiat. The rear truck
was also considerably damaged by the
strain from the load on it, the car being
heavily freighted with large paving
stones. The accident took place about
9:l5 o'clock, and in about three hours the
rails were clear, train No. % being held
for over two hours just behind. The
truck was thrown onto the n. Y. p az B.

limited was due in short time, it was
necessary TO clear the way quickly, in
order 10 avoid any delay to it, and to
avert all danger of accident.

Sixth. He did not seem TO be very favor
ably impressed with the word prisoner" I"
and enquired how far il was TO Canal
street On being told, he seemed
in doubt as to what course he
would pursue. He thought two
miles was beyond his capacity as pedes-

wood at the Central he would perhaps
have brilliant opportunity TO crack dia-

and verify he did move, the last time he
was seen being at frankfort cart, where
