LESS SPEED RECOMMENDED.
The Inquiry Into Sundays Fatal
Cable Car Accident.
Employees Testify that Cars Should
Go Rapidly Around the Curve.
The Jury Exonerate the Cable Com
pany, but They Recommend
Much Slower Rate
of Speed.

Coroner Gates held an inquest yester-
day afternoon over the remains of Rev.
James M. Jameson, who was killed last
Sunday morning by a Downey-avenue
car at the corner of Spring and First
streets. The inquest was held at the
undertaking rooms OF Garrett q Sam
son.
Ten Jurors were selected as follows
J. W. Hoyt, A. ]. Lenox, j. Scott, j. N.
Gotham, H. j. Hastings, J. @. Williams,
Q. E. Whelpley, @. A. Becker, j. ID.
Dunlap, W. H. Mclean.
Several witnesses were examined, but
the testimony was substantially as the
facts previously printed, with the ex-
ception of the statements and opinions
of some of the employees OF the Pacific
Railway Gable company.
The superintendent testified to the
effect that his orders to the gripmen
were to run the cars at the rate OF speed
at which they are run.
The gripman, N. E. Daman, testified
that such were his orders, and that he
was obeying orders.
stated to HERALD reporter that the
cars went around the curve at speed
of eight and one-quarter miles an hour,
and that it was unsafe both to the
machinery and to the pedestrians to go
slower. ''For, if the speed was slower"
said he, "there would be more people
hurt-they would be slower in making
the crossing than If the car was running
at full speed" A slower rate of speed
would injure the machinery, he thought.
Another employe stated that tight
grip on the strands of the cable was
necessary. If a slower speed was
adopted, the loss to the company would
be about $4,000 a year in consequence OF
the wear and tear OF the machinery.
The jury rendered verdict censuring
no one, but made the following recon-
mendation:
I'VE recommend to the Pacific Rail-
way company that they run their cars
on the curves at the corner of Spring
and First streets at the rate of speed
not to exceed three miles an hour"
Funeral services of the deceased will
be held at the First NJ. e. church this
morning at 10 O'Clock. The interment
will take place at Orange.
