ELEMENTS AIDED IN WRECKING
OflcinI Says ~ Heavy snowstorm Had
Not Been Raging Disaster Could
Not Have Occurred.

MONTREAL, Dec. 29.--Mr. McGuiRan.
manager Of the Grand Trunk railway. in
a statement this afternoon explains that
had 1t not been for the binding snow
storm the Wanstead accident would have
been averted, as the road between Wan
stead and Watford is perfectly straight for
four miles.
1t has been claimed that the operator could
have remedied his mistake at Kings Court,
but the latter is not a night station, and
the train, which was running at the rate
OF seventy miles an hour, covered the dis
lance between Wanstead and watford,
which is a steep %downhill, inside Of four
and a half minutes.
Mr.. McGuigan says the conductor GER
tainly went into the office at Watford and
obtained his clearance. II the operator
has an order which he claims cancelled the
original one he must produce it.
After the coroner's inquest is concluded
the Grand Trunk will institute an invest
igation Of its own.
I'm the meantime" said Mr.. McGUtgan,
Il do not feel justified in making any
further charges, but I will say that so far
as we can ascertain no superior oficer OF
the road is to blame. 1t is simply one OF
those inexpllcable accidents in which the
human mind has been lacking.
The material loss to property will not
exceed $40, 900 or S15, 900, but the company
expects It will have to face a loss Of $780,
900 by the time all the claims have been
settled"
There can be no blame attached to the
engineer, Mackenzie, Mr.. McGuigan says,
and the charge that he was overworked is
not true. The train in question, No. s..
left Niagara Falls at 2:25 p. M, reaching
the tunnel at 9:25 p. m, so that the train
crew were only on duty seven houra.
