MISCREANTS
TURNED
The SWITCH

St Albans, VT, Jan. G-The theory held
by the Central Vermont railway authori-
ties, who began a rigid investigation into
the derailment OF the New England States
Limited Express. from Boston for Mon
treal at Bolton. last night. that a delib-
crate attempt TO wreck the train had been
made, was further strengthened by to-
days examination.
Testimony given by railroad employees
shows that the switch was properly set
after the passage OF the last freight which
preceded the express and one OF the ciii-
zens OF Bolton, who passed the spot where
the accident occurred a few minutes be
fore the express came along, stated that
the switch light showed a clear track
and that ne thought he heard some one
running away from the vicinity directly
after he passed.
w. IL. Mullens, superintendent OF trans
portaton on the Central Vermont rail-
road. with offices I'm this city. today issued
the following statement:
There appears 20 be no question but
that the mishap TO train No. last night,
was the work Of some miscreant. The
fiagman OF the freight train last TO make
up at the siding in question, positively
states that he closed the lock OF the
switch. and his conductor states that he
personally watched him perform sucn
work The agent at the station here af-
firms that Is minutes after the freight
train had departed, he placed the light OF
the switch In it's proper position and saw
that 1t was properly locked for the main
line.
"A resident who was walking along the
track, and observed the approach OF No.
states that the light OF the switch was
clear. Immediately after the accident OC-
Cured an investigation developed the
fact that the switch light had been re-
moved from the socket and turned around
and fastened so that IL showed the main
line position. while the switch was set for
the siding The switch lock was found up
on the ground, a short distance from the
switch. The resident before referred to
claims TO have heard some one running
from the scene as the train approached.
No stone is being left unturned by the
company, TO locate the responsible
party"
