AT l0:45 this morning Coroner Smith
marched his jury from the morgue to
Sacred Heart hospital, where the tes-
timony Of Joseph Linton and Guy L..
Mckee was taken relative to the COLI
sion on Sunday, March 20 between a
Washington Water Power streetcar
and switch engine, property of the
Spokane Falls & Northern.
The jury was conducted into the
east ward, where the two injured men
occupied cots side by side.
Joseph Linton was the first called
upon to testify and it was noticed that
when taking the oath he was unable
to lift his right hand. The whole
right side of his body is badly hurt.
On his head are several bad looking
cuts, and enc just over the right eye.
He complains of injuries to his thigh
and side. Mckee is 20 years of age
and his injuries are principally on his
body. He had Just arrived in the city
the morning of the accident and had
gone to Hillyard to look at some i'm
provements.

Hillyard and it was coming down hill

ductor signaled the motorman to stop.
This was done perhaps two or three
seconds when the conductor signaled
again, this time to go ahead. He gave
one tap, which I believe means to stop,
then two taps--go ahead. When the
car stopped it was probably 10 feet
from the crossing. l heard the engine
whistle. l saw it coming down the
