HaveAvoidsd the Accident II Proper
ly Notined--Train Dispatcher Rourke
Charges Orrell with Recklessness.
Reading, Pa, May 24.-The second
day Of the coroner's inquest into the
cause or causes of the rear end COLI
sion at Exeter, on the Philadelphia and
Reading railway, ten days ago, in which
20 persons were killed and about 60 In
jured, was highly interesting, and much
sensational testimony was elected.
There was larger crowd present than
on Monday. Throughout the testi-
mony attention was very strongly
drawn to the crew Of the second sec
ton, which ran into the forward ex-
press, and the coroners jury will un-
doubtedly be called upon to examine
their statements very closely before
concluding its verdict. The fact was
established that the first section was
late, that Engineer Orrell, of the second
section, apparently did not know it,
that he ran As miles an hour, that he
caught up with it within two minutes
at Exeter and that before it could get
away the crash came
The desire to shift the responsible
ity was strong again, and there were
some contradictions on important
points. Engineer Orrell was asked
DO you think the accident could have
been averted?"
Yes" he replied, "if the rear brake
man of the express had come back and
aiUnnlIod than 10 ha oi
board indicated that the express train
was still there why would have
stopped my train"
On the other hand, train dispatcher
Rourke shortly before the close of yes
terday's hearing. created sensation
by putting the blame strongly on Or
rell, who, he declared, was guilty of
reckless running" This was the event
of the day.
Engineer Orrell denied that he saw
any red signals at any of the four
towers between Reading and Exeter,
but Thomas H. B. Geiger, one Of the
tower men, positively declared he sig
nailed the red to Engineer Orrell.
The testimony Of the entire day was
of an essential character, and many Of
those who heard 1t we're of the opinion
that the observance of the five minute
rule between trains. which ia now
strictly enforced, should not be deviat-
ed from hereafter, and that collisions
would be avoided no matter how reck-
less an engineer ran. In word, yes
terday's testimony showed a combina-
ton Of circumstances any one of which,
had 1t been overcome, would have
avoided the wreck, and the coroner's
jury will aim to make such recon-
mendation that will result in improv-
ing railroad methods, If not going so
far as to condemn any particular in
dividual
Engineer Orrell's claim that had the
first section not backed he would have
averted the disaster is given full
weight, but Trainmaster Rourke's con-
domination of his method of running
was emphatic and Sbsitive.
