STRATFORD DISASTER.
Mr. Jewell Testified That He Found
Ties lOOSened.
Engineer Starr Of The Railroad Company
Doubted This Statement.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 1.-THE
morning session of the coroner's jury
which is inquiring into the case of the
Stratford trolley catastrophe dragged
somewhat Slowly because Oftne dtffi-
culties experienced by the sheriff in
locating desired witnesses. The first
witness examined was George Il. jew
Gll, the town clerk of Stratford. He
stated THAT ne was at the scene of ths
accident before all of the bodies had
been removed from the wreck. Later
he examined the abutment OF the
bridge and the approach. He noticed
that ties were loose for distance of
from 6 TO feet and that they yielded
to his weight perceptbly.
AT this point there was no dirt un-
der or between the ties. His opinion
was that dirt had worked loose under
the Jarring OF many passing cars.
There was also, he said, a noticeable
depression i'm the rails, pronounced
enough, in his opinion, TO cause rap
idly moving ear TO leave the rails. He
said his weight was generally $50
pounds.
Engineer Starr was next called. He
was of the opinion that the weight
OF $50 pounds would not cause the ties
on rails to yield. The rails used on the
road weigh 56 pounds TO the yard. Had
the rails worked loose from the ties he
thought loosening spikes would have
resulted. He said that ne went over
the trestle at 1880 Sunday afternoon.
on the front platform OF car and de-
tected no jolt or unevenness. He
thought IL possible that the dirt under.
the ties on the approach might have
been lossened by people who clambered
up and down after the accident.
David McGregor. an inspector of the
road was the next witness. He testi-
fed that he knew the wrecked car |
fairly we'll, he never knew of its having |
been derailed; and had never known of /
Its being In any trouble. At this po,nt |
the jury retired TO hold n consultation
