Coroner Louthian empaneled jury
of inquest yesterday composed Of reI'-
resentative citizens, with Mr.. T.. n.
Thomasson as foreman. The invest-
cation Is proceeding with thorough
ness, and from the nature Of the tes-
| timony that has been taken 1t Is prob
able that the verdict will attribute the
disaster to the rotten timbers Of the
trestle. A number Of railroad en-
ployes claim that the trestle has been
reported time and again, and that the
responsible authorities have ignored
the reports. The jury may not report
its findings for several days. It Is un-
derstood that the grand jury may get
together and make a careful investi-
CATION. Mr.. ]. o. Walker Is foreman.
