Both Jacobs and Mattox are undersized.
Mattox has a weak face, and when in
conversation is not inclined to look one
straight in the eye. He is nervous in
his habits, while Jacobs is more sedate
and seems more certain in his actions
and words MattOx has repeatedly con-
tradicted himself in statements since the
accident.
Each has his respective friends outside
the Office. where the hearing is being
held, who remain with the two while
they are waiting TO be recalled. MattOx

] November %. when seven persons were
killed. viii be concluded to-day The
hearing was begun Wednesday.
The officials in charge of the investi-
cation have reached no decision. as all
the employees and trainmen have not
/ been examined. BY this afternoon the
hearing will have been finished and the
responsibility fixed. After the decision
! is reached it is not known. evep among
the officials, just what action will be
taken by the company to punish the
guilty party or parties.
G. D. Mattox, the operator at Ran
goon. and R. J. Jacobs, who was in the
tower at Lawyers, between the two of
whom it is believed lies the cause Of the
wreck, were before the hearing at differ
ent periods yesterday. Other operators
from along the line are also present at
the Investigation.
It is a noticeable fact that among the
twenty-five employees who have been
summoned to give their version of the
youngest men in the delegation Mattox.
who has endeavored to put the blame on
the Lawyers operator, does not appear 10
be more than twenty years old Jacobs
looks possibly few years his senior.
Fear for the Effect.
It is regarded as singular that the
youngest men should happen 10 be the
two most important witnesses before the
hearing. Each waiting for his turn be-
fore the officials. these bOyish-loOking
railroad employees paced the hall floors and
mingled with the men. many Of whom have
grown gray in the service Of the COM
pany.
Considerable anxiety Is shown among
the men. and especially by the two young
operators. II il is shown that either of
these two is responsible for the disaster
in which the president of the road lost
his life. ii may have material effect in
the employment of such young men for
responsible positions along the line CT
the Southern Railway.
Jacobs has been at work since the col
lisiOn. while Immediately following the
wreck Mattox failed to put in an appear
ance for duty. This. it is believed, is to
be against him. although he claims that
Jacobs had given him a clear track be
fore he allowed train No 90 10 enter his
(Jacobs) block. Jacobs, on the other
hand. declares that he did not receive
notice that No. IS had gone onto his sec
