RESULT OF ACCIDENT.
No One Held Responsible for colored
Mans Death.

jury of six men sworn by the coroner
to inquire into the death of the unknown
colored man who was killed by a railroad
train on the AZ street crossing about 1890
o'clock yesterday morning, heard the testf-
mony Of several witnesses today. The
verdict rendered did not hold any one re-
sponsible for the mans death, the jury find
ing that it was the result of an accident
The body is that of a man apparently
about twenty-five years old.
Early yesterday morning, few minutes
after the fatal accident occurred, the body
was removed to the morgue to be held for
identification. Very few persons have call
ed to see it, and no colored man answering
to the description of the deceased has been
reported missing.
Several witnesses who were examined
declared that the gates were down when
the man was killed. The gateman saw no.
body on the crossing, as his view of the
tracks to the north was obstructed by a
moving train on the other tracks. Railroad
employees Informed the jury that the cross
ing was we'll lighted.
Conductor McKahey, who was in charge
of the crew of the yard train, saw a man
on the track in front of an outgoing train.
He seemed to be bewildered and stepped
from the way of the moving train, appar-
emily to go north on AZ street. Seven cars
were being backed into the yard, and the
rear car struck him.
CoHuuclOT MChaney gave the engineer a
signal to stop the train when he realized
the man had been struck. He got off the
train and found the body on the track.
Two brakemen, members of Conductor
Mckahey's crew, were examined by the
jury One of them saw the man before the
train struck him, while the other one did
not see him until after he had been killed
Five cars passed over the body. 1t was
found on the crossing. The gateman testi-
fled that he lowered the gates when the
outgoing train reached the 9Th street curve.
There is no automatic signal to inform him
OF the approach of trains. He has to watch
for them and lower the gates when he sees
them approaching. Nothing was known of
the affair by the engineer or fireman until
the train was stopped and the body was
found.
DR.. Glazebrook, the deputy coroner, told
the jury that the lower part of the body
was badly mangled and the doctor detected
the odor of liquor about the remains. I'm
less the body Is claimed in short time 1t
will be buried in potter's field.
