had just fred up and were crossing the
main line for siding, when the ex'
press, drawn by two engines, came
along under full steam. Engines
Simms, on the first engine of the ex
press, reversed his levers and applied
the brakes, but was not in time t.

Some of the witnesses alleged that he
purchased it himself in an illegal man
