VERSIONS WERE CARELESS.
Rutland Railroad Co. Not Mt Fault In
Fatal Accident.


The state board of railroad commits
siOners have made a report OF their
findings in the matter of the fatal ac-
cident to f. w. Weston and Leslie
Weston. who were killed at Charlotte
by a Rutland train on August s.
The commissioners review the tes-
timony taken at the hearing and con-
cludc that the accident occurred by
reason of the carelessness of the Wes-
tons and not through the fault Of tho
Rutland road. The commissioners say:
"Ordinary care and prudence on the
part OF persons approaching II rail
road crossing at grade require them "a
look for the approach of train. To
drive upon q crossing without ever
cising any of the senses of sight or
hearing is negligence. The evidence in
this case warrants the finding that the
Westons deliberately undertook, with
full knowledge of the presence OF the
train. But if they merely attempted 70
cross without stopping, looking or list
ening for the approach of a train they
were in fault themselves for the acct
dent which resulted fatally to both
OF them. The operation Of the train
over this crossing was proper In
every sense of the word So long as
highway crossings exist there will be
danger to persons PASSING but trains
cannot stop or slacken their speed &c
accommodate travel upon this high.
way: the latter can protect itself II
the rule Of common prudence is oh.
served.
"The commissioners conclude that the
accident occurred by reason of tn,
careless acts of both the Westons and
through no fault of the Rutland Rail.
