The finding of the Coroner in in
vestigating the recent wreck in the
railroad yards at Columbus completely
exonera&es train dispatcher Pitt Pond,
! who is we'll known here. The con-
clusion of the Coroner's finding is as
follows: ut therefore appears that
the primary cause of the accident was
in fact that the operator at West Co.
lumbus mistook an answer for himself,
which was intended for Toledo station.
He understood the answer 20. K" to
have been intended for himself, accord
| lug 10 tHelT custom IN communicating.
The train dispatcher gave the 80. K.,"
intending it for Toledo, ignorant of the
fact that the operator at West Colum-
bus had attempted to obtain permis-
sion for No. 4 to enter the block The
conclusion, however, would be that
the trouble was with the system OF
communication in vogue between the
operators and train dispatcher"
