Story Of the Accident
to w. G.. Cowles' Auto.

and thence through East Hampton
and Cobalt, which are in the town Of
Chatham, and were intending to have
supper in Middletown, and then re-
turn to Hartford. At East Hampton
the crossing is under the track. but
west Of there all are at grade.
Taylor's crossing. where the fatal
ity occurred, 10 In the town Of Port
land, about half mile west OF Cobalt
railroad station. 1t 10 represented as
being particularly dangerous. the aP.
proach to the tracks on each side be-
ing up grade. On the east side, from
whence the Cowles party was ap-
preaching, there is, on the west side
Of the road. thick growth Of bushes
and trees and . high fence, which
hides the tracks olcUletely, and in
addition there is curve in the track
Just before it reaches the crossing.
Mr.. Cowles and Mr.. Franz declare
that there Was no signal from the ap-
preaching train, either by bell or
whistle. They say the touring car
was running very slowly, and that
the party had NO intimation Of the
coming train until the car was on the
track, when they saw the headlight
and the locomotive right upon them.
1t was then that Mr.. Cowles and bis
chauffeur jumped, and thus escaped
injury.
Eugene Schiller berg, gardener In
the employ Of Howard Taylor, whose
estate bounds the railroad track at
the crossing declares that he met the
Cowles party just east Of the cross
ing and warned them that the express
was coming. He says the automobile
was at once slowed down and one Of
the women stood on her feet as
though to look for the train. Schil'
lenberg thought the machine was
going to stop. but it went ON. He
says there we're NO lights on the auto
mobile.
Engineer Brigham and Fireman
Davis OF the Air Line special declared
after the accident that the usual warn
ihgS given at oil crossings were
in this case, the whistle be-
ing blown and the bell rung before
the crossing was reached.
While the work Of the release Of
Mrs. Cowles and her little son was
going on, the rumbling Of what is
known as the Black Diamond Express,
leaving Middletown at 6:46, or four
after the express, was heard,
md an alert brakeman started back
along the track to flag the on-Coming
srain. He was just in time to avert
,ollison between the trains. The
,ngineer Of the local said afterward
hat 1t was only by strenuous effort
hat he stopped his train in time to
.void running into the express.
The automobile cost $4,000, and, in
;he opinion Of those who have seen 1t
,ince the accident, is not worth re-
pairing. The vital parts Of the ma
,hine are twisted into many shapes.
IA conversation Mr.. Cowles said he
lever wanted to see the machine
gain.

on cross-examination the witness cor

the position of the men, but said he could
not tell whether o. not the police officer
or the Dorney chap picked up the ballots

Those that fell on the stage were picked
