the collision. They Immediately placed IN
der arrest the motorman OF the car, Euclid
Madden. and Conductor James Kelly. and
they were later taken to headquarters In
this city.
Governor Crane. In relating his expert
ences, said that he heard the gong OF the
approaching car in ample time, and he i'm
mediately arose and warned the motorman
to stop. He says the man apparently paid
no attention to his signal or those of the
troopers alongside. and the car continued
until it struck the carriage with great force.
No one on the car seems to be able to
explain how the accident happened Even
the motorman and persons on the front
seat are apparently unable to tell why It
was not avoided.
1t is claimed that Driver Pratt turned 20
cross the track sooner than teams ordi-
narfly make the run. but this he was forced
to do because OF the fact that his team
Of four horses required more room. and the
troopers on the right Of the carriage also
needed space to get through.
