DECIDE CASE

the Trolley Officials Is
Closed
COMPANY'S RULES READ IN COURT

Newark. n. j., Sept, 3.-The minutes
OF the meeting Of the directors OF tho
North Jersey Street Railway Company
were offered in evidence at the trial OF
the eleven trolley officials on trial for
granddaughter in connection with the
death of Ernestina Miller at tho Cliff
ton avenue grade crossing February 70
last. The defendants listened atten-
lively as the prosecutor read the duties
of each officer and employe OF the COM
pany as outlined In the rules and reg
ulations
The prosecutor alro read the duties
OF the division superintendents their
assistants, together with the conduc-
tors and motormen. Particular mem
tion was made as 10 the rules govern
Ing the management of the companys
cars during snow storms.
The motorman duties. said the pros
ecutor are 10 stop at the top Of grade
and proceed carefully. The state Of
fered evidence 10 prove that this rule
was not carried out The rules also
stated that no passenger was allowed
TO ride upon the front or back plat
forms.
w. X. McFarlane. former chief engi
neer Of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western Railroad. was called to tel
what he knew about contracts made
between the Morris and Essex Railway
and the North, Jersey Street Railway
/ Company for the placing Of derailins
switches. The witness admitted that
he had objected to the placing of a de-
railing switch at the Clifton avenue
crossing because Il would have been
intorlocked with the signal system of
his railroad and would have held mp
trains whenever a trolley car crossed
the tracks.
MIR. Ril1er, asked whether the de-
railing switch was a device that was
readily obtainable and whether IL was
useful for the prevention Of accidents,
answered both In the affirmative.
The state then rested.
Only one witness was examined al
the late session. He was Arthur A.
Rhymer. a civil engineer, who was
called to testify about derailinl
switches and the interlocking system
On cross-examination he admitted that
he had been in many cities where de.
railing switches were not used al
crossings that were fully as dangerous
as the Clifton avenue crossing.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Rhymer'i
| testimony. Mr. Lindabury, for the de-
fense, moved that the court direct thI
jury TO find a verdict Of not guilty
Argument was opened Immediately by
Mr.. Lindabury.
In arguing for the dismissal Of the
case. Mr.. Lindabury said Inat the claim
that the defendants had allowed the
car 10 be so crowded that the motor.
man could not work his brake had moi
been upheld, but disproved. as IL hac
been testified by the state witnesse:
that the motorman had room sufficient
II had not been shown that the defend
ants had any knowledge Of the crowd
ing of the cars. He argued that the
/ state had failed absolutely to show
/ tnat there was any connection between
the acts of the defendants and wha
occurred.
Justice Gummere reserved decision
on the motion.
