CORONER'S VERDICT.
Death Was Due to Oversight on
Part of Freight Grew.

esterday afternoon about four
O'Clock the inquest held on the
bodies of the unfortunate people
who lost their lives in the Denver
d Rio Grande wreck, ended by the
jury reaching verdict. The mem
bers of both crews were examined,
the testimony showing conclusive
ly that the freight crew was re-
sponsible for the accident. The
conductor confessed that his orders
were to take the siding at Reno
and let the west bound special pass,
but that he put the orders in his
pocket and forgot the full import
of them. The engineer made very
little explanation.
Altogether the verdict of the
-coroner's jury was very mild one,
and is worded 80 that sympathy
for the freight crew is obvious.
The word carelessness or negli-
gence do not appear. Following
is the finding:
THAT the above mentioned per-
ons came to their death as a re-
suit of headend collision between
west bound special train in which
deceased were passengers and an
east bound extra train on the ID.
& r. &. r. R., near what is known
as the Reno switch located on said
railroad on its line between Flor
ence and Canon City, Colorado, on
the afternoon of Saturday, Sept.
%, 1899, about the hour .ef 4:10.
"We further find said accident
was due to an oversight of orders
on the part of the freight crew.
Deceased came to their deaths
in head end collision between
the freight and the passenger trains
in question, and that said collision
was caused by an oversight of or
ders by the train crew.
