MR. JEROMEs OPINION.
ITO which Of these causes do you, result

II not prepared to give any opinion upon
that matter. have not fixed the blame on any
one. That should be brought out through the
inquest But don't think It was unavoidable.
II don't care to say whether the New-York
Central had taken all necessary precautions,
said Mr.. jerome in reply to another question.
When asked if under the existing system all
possible precautions had been taken. District
Attorney Jerome said:
There is no divergence of opinion to what
actually occurred. That the engineer saw the
red light at Fifty-eighth-st is established by
the fact that he put on the emergency brakes
there. Had he had his train under control he
would have been able to stop. The brakes were
powerful enough but the speed was too high.
/ think the New York Central is willing TO do
what IL can to make the tunnel safe. But 1t Is
laboring under the greatest difficulties to meet
a situation caused by congested traffic. OF
course IL must be held strictly to do what II
can to prevent accidents like these. whether
it has done what it not do not know:
That Will be found by the inquest. Then II Will
be for me to take action If the circumstances
should warrant it.
