with Geo. NJ. Powers also represented DIR.
Wilson. W. H. Parker of Cambridge, was
also present and c. W. Writers of st. AL
bans represented the railroad.
Fourteen witnesses including the train
men were examined 1t was established
that the road bed where the accident took
place was all right and that the rails were
in safe condition.
The only possible explanation for the
accident was that the train was running
very fast at the time the accident oc-
CURED but this point was not fully estao-
lishci. 1t was shown that the train ran
a distance of 500 feet after leaving the
rails which indicates high speed and great
momentum but the testimony of the wit
nesses regarding the speed was confictin :.
TWO passengers and two people VINO saw
the train passing testified that it was rrn-
ming quite fast while two other passengers
and the tranmen maintained that 1t was
not running unusually fast. The decision
of the board has not been announced.
