Testimony In RebuttaI.
Richard w. Harrison, for fourteen
years an engineer on the p, w & b rail
road, was called bv Mr. Bird, who asked
him, il ia his opinion. no matter whether
the rail was wet or dry, the application
of sand would stop car.
Mr.. Bird objected, saying there should
be some end to the case That when the
plaintiff has made his case and the de.
fense answers it. there is the end OF Il.
He said Mr. Bird introduced sand In the
case and that the questions asked were
not in cross-eXamination. 10 would be
unfair to let the plaintiff COME in and
patch up his case now.
Mr. Bird said the two questions were
not put In with proper reference to dis.
tance. That matter was put In by the
defense. Sand only came into the plant
ifs case incidentally. The plaintiff
proposed to show thai sand Is used on
railroads on all occasions, whether with
wet rail or dry rail. Two witnesses
for the defense testified that the reason
engineers used sand was because the
rails were greasy.
Mr. Bradford said that grease was not
one Of the material facts Of the case.
The plaintiff had injected It into It. He
also inquired about the application Of
sand. IL was a matter for the jury to
determine.
A majority Of the court decided that
the testimony ought TO be admitted.
Chief Justice Lore dissented
Mr.. Bird asked for and received an
attachment for Harry Shuler who had
made measurements and failed to appear
In court.
The witness then testified that the ap.
| plication of sand to the track would en-
able an engineer to stop an engine or
motorman to stop car quicker. The
/ sand increases the friction
William r. Beekley, a one legged engi-
neer, who had had twenty years exper.
ience and run on the fastest schedule
train on the r., w & B railroad, losing
his leg at the Charlestown accident,
/ testified that sand would help
stop car quickly. When an
engine is running sixty miles an honr
one third Of stop-distance is due to sand,
which either acts between the rail aud
wheel or between the wheel and brulle-
shoe. Sand will help any brake which
comes In contact with the surface Of the
wheel.
