JAMES VAN LOAN
DIES FROM INJURIES
Freight Brakeman Expires at Providence
Hospital-Gilbert Satten Re-
leased From Custody.

James Van Loan, twenty-three years
old, died at Providence Hospital yes
terday morning, as the result of injuries
received by his having fallen from a NOV
ing train. He was a brakeman. and was
employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Tuesday afternoon he was working on a
freight train, which was coming TO Wash
ington. When the train passed Severn.
Md, about twenty miles from this city. he
either fell from the top of a box car or
was knocked off. brother of the dead
man arrived in this city yesterday. and
will have the remains shipped to Hack
ensack. n. j., where The funeral viii
occur.
Gilbert Satten. the young man who was
arrested in connection with the matter,
was released last night. The police plac-
ed him under arrest shortly after the
injured man reached this city, at the
request OF the railway employees. He was
locked up, pending an investigation. 1t
was said that he was suspected OF having
pushed Van Loan from the moving train.
The railroad officials, it is claimed, ex-
onerated him from all blame, and Cap
tain Boardman ordered his release. Sat-
ten stated that the man was knocked of
the train by the arm of a water tank.
Coroner Neritt stated last night that
there would be no inquest held over the
remains in this city. The sheriff OF
Anne Arundel county, Maryland, was no.
titled of the death of the brakeman. but
il is doubtful whether he will hold an
inquest.
The physicians at Providence Hospital
stated last night that Van Loan died of
concussion of the brain. The cerebrum
was mashed TO pulp. He evidently fell
on his head. as there were no bones in his
body broken.
