The men killed in the Southern Pacific
wreck near Sandy Fork Sunday morning
were buried Monday at San Antonio. With
reference to Conductor Gaifney, the Ex
press Of yesterday says:
'The actions Of Conductor Gaifney in
leaving the scene Immediately upon the &C
currence Of the accident, is deplored by
his friends, and the only excuse that Re
gave was to Conductor Heard, to whom
he said that he did not have the heart TO
longer look uron the awful scene OF death
and destruction spread there before him
His friends in the city have not yet
seen anything Of him. although indications
are that he communicated with his wife
and that the family viii give up their
home here and move away. Friends who
met Gafiney on the road after the accident
on Sunday say that he Is completely h. art
broken over the affair.
Yesterday the railroad company heard
directly from the conductor. IT was let
ter in Galfney's own handwriting. Where
II had been put on the train no one knows.

letter. and it WIS found in a batch of the
superintendent mail. The letter was adj
dressed to the superintendent and was
reiteration of his confession OF neglect.
The letter is said to be frank. open and
pathetic statement of the facts in the case,
In 1t Gaflney states that he Is to blame.
that he went to sleep for the first time
while on duty in his railroad career. He
says that when the second section OF the
westbound train passed by he thought it

the part Of the crew In the caboose. who
In turn woke the crew in the engineers
cab.
Although he claims that all of the crow
were asleep he takes the entire blame upon
himself as the men in charge Of the train
He further says that he has heard il said
that the crew did not have enough re st and
had been too hard worked To this he an
swers that he had full fourteen hours rest
before going upon that fatal run, aud that
