Young Hayes, the BluhderfnR Operator,
Nearly Insane-AHOtheF Death,
HARRIsBURG, Pa, June 27--H. S.
Hayes, the young operator at the Steel
ton tower, who Is supposed to have
been the responsible party for the dis
astrous wreck which took place in this
city early Saturday morning spent a
very restless night in dreadful suspense,
lying on his cot and Bobbing Bit
terly.
Yesterday his father, accompanied
by John A Shartzer, the young mans
unole, went to see the prisoner At the
sight of his father he broke down, aud
1t required the aid Of opiates and the
whole forenoon to quiet his nerves.
Several physicians say that he is liable
to become insane IL confined much
longer. Representative Tinksberry of
Columbia county offered bond for his
release, which was refused.
Several members of the coroner's Jury
state that many new points will be
brought out at the hearing to-day which
may change the situation The points
to be tested are the unusual high speed
of the second section, being claimed that
10 minutes were made up on about 83
miles; the duty of the brakeman who
went to flag the second section, and
whether he should not have remained
until the second section arrived; wheth-
er freight train had any business on a
passenger track when there is a freight
track, and the employing of such an in
experienced operator.
The 1urv held an inquest over the re-
mains Of Fred Coleburg of Brooklyn,
who died late yesterday afternoon from
n vl U 70 nh La l.
rived early in the morning but her
husband was unoonsci GUS and could not
speak.
Hayes In his tes timony before the
coroner said he was an extra operator
and worked for the first time at the
Steelton tower Friday night, although
be had been in the emplo oy of the COM
papy for over year He used his good
judgement he said and allowed the
second section to pass th rough because
he knew the other train had plenty of
time to get out of the block. Before the
second section arrived he tried several
times to get the Dock str Get tower, but
the wire was open and he could not get
them.
Hayes is young man 90 years Of age
and resident of Newberrytown, York
county, where his parents reside. He
was brought up on far m and always
used to hard work.
Several years since he received the aid
OF relative and obtained an education,
His mother ia in feeble condition, and
fears are entertained that he and his
mother may lose their reason through
this mishap.
