VERDICT ON WRECK
RESPONSIBILITY LIES BETWEEN
OPERATOR AND DISPATCHER.

sixteen-Year-old Operator in Charge
of One Station Was Not Familiar
With Either Telegraph Call or
the Work.
Wyoming, Ont, Dec. 31.-The coro-
ner's jury, which has been investigat-
ing the wreck at Wanstead last Friday
night. in which twenty-eight lives
were lost, brought in a verdict shortly
before midnight. The verdict is az
follows:
eve find that Arthur F. Rickett was
killed in the collision at Wanstead, on
the evening of Dec 26, and that said
collision was caused by wrong orders
being given No. at Watford. Respon-
sibility for the issuance of wrong or
ders we are not agreed upon as be-
tween Operator Carson and Dispatcher
Kerr. That after No. had left Wat
ford by the issuance of wrong orders,
we consider that the accident could
have been averted by the operator at
Wyoming or Kings Court junction had
the railway company had more exper-
fenced operators at those points como
being but boy of sixteen), at each OF
which places the dispatcher having
had ample time to do it and endeav-
ored to get the opposing trains
stopped"
The principal feature of the testf-
mony yesterday was the evidence of
James Troyer, the night operator at
Kings Court junction, where Dis
patcher Kerr endeavored to stop the.
express train. Troyer. who is a boy of
sixteen years, stated that he was on
duty for the first time on the night
Of the accident and that his total pre-
vious experience as an operator was
for two nights at Strathroy, where he
received only total Of four messages.
He gave as reason for not he2rjnk
Dispatcher Kerr calling him for seven
or eight minutes that he was
studying the time table and did not
recognize the Office call, which he had
heard only once before. Troyer's ex-
treme youth and apparent incompc-
tence made deep impression upon
the Jury.
