Constant Menace to
Citizens Lives.
GRAND JURY SHOULD ACT.
Verdict of Coroner Faherty's In
quest Apropos of Flagman
Murphy's Death.

Coroner Faherty's inquest into the
death OF Gateman John Murphy resulted
last night In verdict condemning tho
Erie Railroad Company and inviting the
Grand Jury's attention. The witnesses
last night were Engineer William
Caskev and Fireman William French OF
engine No. 734. Both live in Port Jervis.
They deposed that they knew nothing Of
the killing of Murphy until they stopped
at the east end of the Tunnel and were
informed by the crew of passengeg
train, which followed them out. The
following verdict was adopted;-
THE COMPANY BLAMED.
''The jury find that John Murphy was
killed by engine No. 734 of the New York,
Lake Erie and Western Railroad Com
pany, while performing his duty as gate
tender and fagman at the Erie
street crossing in jersey City
on the morning of February 2.
They have inspected the location where
the accident occurred and where the said
John Murphy, was required to work.
and they find that the place where he was
standing wss dangerous, and the space
allowed him SO small that he could not
safely perform his duties.
'sBy measurement they find that tha
space from the crank post of his gate to
the rail was but 4615 inches: that the
buffer of an engine while passing oc-
cupies 26 inches of this space, res
ducing the space in which the
Gateman has to work to about 20 inches,
and that this space is further reduced
1015 inches by the turning of the crank
which operates the gate, leaving g space
only 81 inches while the train is passing.
The jury state in their opinion has
the railroad company is responsible Tor
the death of John Murphy, by reason of
failure to provide him with suitable space
to do his work and by subjecting him TO
very great and unnecessary dangers.
THOSE GRADE CROSSINGS.
"They furthermore state that fatal acs
cidents at the grade crossings of said
railroad in Jersey City have within the
past few years become so frequent and
are now of such common occurrence as
in their Judgment to render the railroads
public nuisance, and they recommend
that the Grand Jury of the county OF
Hudson investigate the matter of said
grade crossings and the management of
said road, TO the end that the negligent
management may be punished and that
the company may be required to take
such steps as will IN the future protec1
their employees and the lives and prop
erIy of those who have occasion
to cross such railroad on the public high-
ways. Furthermore
Resolved, That we the members of this
jury censure the N. Y. Lake Erie and
ing the proper precaution for the protec-
tion of their employees in the capacity In
which the late John Murphy was emS
plOVed.n
