BLAME FOR THE WRECK
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION BY
SOUTHERN OFFICIALS.
Block Operator at Rangoon Station
Held Responsible-Discha
From Employ of Company.

The blame for the serious wreck on the
Southern railway Thanksgiving day. at
Lawyers. Va, In which President Spencer
OF the Southern and six other persons lost
their lives. has been placed on G. ID Mat
tox. block operator at Rangoon station. Va
Information TO that effect was given out
last evening from the Office of General
Counsel Thorn of the Southern railway "a
The result of the recent investigation held
by officials OF the company
The statement was also made that Mat
toX has been discharged from the employ
or the railway company and has not worked
Tor the corporation since the day of ths
accident. and that he will not be given
Iurther employment by the railroad. Mrs
Ihom is reported to have said that the
case Is now out of the jurisdiction of th,,
company. and If there is to be further ac-
lioh IL must be taken by the state OF Vir-
gina.
What is Claimed.
1t is claimed the testimony taken during
the investigation showed that Mattox. NOT
having received the required information in
regard to the movements Of train No 81,
Nioiated the rule in regarding the block as
ciear OF that train before letting In tho
ioiiowmg train known as first 81. Mat
toN's plain I@ty was to stop first n at
>'s'''- a'u hot let IL enter the block
lie admits that this was his duty and that
ne dld not perform il II he had the a.
cident could not have happened"
Operator MattoX had no right even to
ask for the block for train first "a until he
had looked at his own block sheet and seen
from 1t that train No 33 had passed our OF
the block at Lawyers
HIS block did not show this essential
fact.
He admits that il did not and that be
fore he asked for the block for frs; 81 he
nad not gotten. AZ required by rule 11S the
information necessary to make his block
sheet show the facts and to complete it II
was under these circumstances his clear
duty under rule 1l6 to stop train first b
ana not admit ii to the block He admits
TINS and that If he had obeyed the rule the
accident could not have happened.
Human Factor Failed.
1T will thus be seen that from evidence
that is not disputed the human factor failed
at the decisive moment and caused thi,
great catastrophe.
Mattox is twenty-five years old had
been In the employment of the company as
an operator for about two years WAS rdu-
Gated as an operator and. before being per
mitted TO undertake the duties of an opera
ter. was duly examined on block rules ira!
orders and other matters pertaining To the
telegraph service by w. j. Coapman. chief
dispatch
He had at the time OF the accident been
opera tor at RanSoon about twenty months
There is some conflict in the testimony
as to the conduct of Jacobs the operator
at Lawyers. The above conciusi ons how
ever have been reached without consderi =
any controverted testimony"

President Kniffin told of his experiences

Beattyville, Ky.-The jury in the
Hargis-Callahan trial returned a ver-
dict Of nuot guilty in short order
after one Of the most desperately
fought battles in a Kentucky court
for years. Judge James Harzis and
Edward Callahan we're charged with
the murder Of J. B. Marcum.
Curtis Jett who was brought here
from the Frankfort penitentiary, testi-
6ed that he killed Marcum.
The verdict Of not guilty IS the
elimination Of long and bitter fight
In courts in an attempt to convict
James Hargis and Ed Callahan as
chief conspirators in one OF the dark
est crimes in Kentucky history.
James b. Marcum was a mountain

ing. He was engaged three years ago
as an attorney in the contest against

allegation OF corrupt election. Much
bitterness was aroused and frequent
open ruptures occurred.
Killed at jackson.
In May, 1908 Marcum was shot TO
death from behind in the Jackson
courthouse. Curtis Jett and Tom
White were convicted and sentenced
to life imprisonment for the murder.
1t was charged that they We're the
tools of Callahan, Hargis and others.
Jett, after mis- conviction, confessed
that he shot Marcum and that his
act was inspired by Callahan and
Hafgis On the witness stand, how
ever, he repudiated the confession
and said ne alone was responsible.
The acquittal followed largely on this
reputation.
A jury of Clark county citizens re-
! turned verdict for $4,000 damages
a year ago against Hargis on the al
legation that he had caused Marcum
to be killed. The suit was filed by
Mrs Marcum. Hargis and Callahan
are yet to be tried in the Lexington
court for the killing of James Cock
rell under similar circumstances.
Ewing Star Witness
B. J. Ewing. who was stA' in
the courthouse door talking tth

murdered by Curtis Jett and Tom
White, was the star witness for the
commonwealth at the trial OF Hargis

and trusted friend of Judge Hargis.
