Justice Malsch has not yet concluded an
investigation OF the tragedy OF Wednesday
night, in which three negroes lost their
lives at the crossing of Texas avenue and

SO far the testimony has failed to fix the

was moving at a very slow speed, not
more than four or five miles an hour.
Neither the engineer or the fireman saw
the vehicle before 1t was run down. 1t
was also In evidence that the night was
very dark and that there was no electric
light near enough to give any light at the
place where the accident occurred.
A number OF witnesses are yet to be
