other persons seriously injured i'm a

train, to the crew Of which he had
given a signal that all was clear for
them to back over the Baltimore and

only one who escaped with his life.

lie Brown of New York city.

Joining tower was TO blame for the ac
cident, as be, according to Waller, gave
the signal for the freight to come

er it had started he reversed the sig
nal, but it was then too late to preven
