CENTRAL ENGINEER on TRIAL.
Accused OF MansIaughter as n Result Or a
Park Avenue Wreck.

John ID. Horn, the engineer who was in
charge of a New York Central train for
Poughkeepsie which ran into a Stamford
local OF the New Haven road at 105th street
and Park avenue on December 10 last was
put on trial before Justice Greenbaum in the
Supreme Court, Criminal Branch, yesterday
for granddaughter in the second degree.
One man, James W. Knapp Of New Rochelle,
was killed and several injured in the wreck.
The indictment accuses Horn of having
wilfully run his train past a green signal,
which meant to slow down, at Ninety-eiRhth
street, and sets up that without slackening
speed he went past the signals which meant
stop at l04th street.
Richard A. Slater, in charge Of the Grand
Central station, testified that there was often
smoke and steam at the outlet Of the tunnel
at Ninety-sixth street. Herbert s. Balliett,
who is in charge Of the signal system Of the
road, said that he went to the scene OF the
wreck and found that the signals worked
all right.
Eugene Archer, a telegraph operator and
towerman at lOoth street was the principal
witness. He gave this explanation OF the
accident: A Harlem train came out Of the
tunnel on the third track. The train wal
due to stop nj the 10th street station and
it was switched to the fourth or westerly
track at l04th street. The Stamford local
came up on the fourth track and he received
orders from the train dispatcher at the
Grand Central to switch the Stamford
train to the third track, which was clear.
The signals were set for Horn to stop his
train, which was on the third track, hut he
ran past them at Ninety-eighth and IO4th
streets without decreasing speed and ran
into the Stamford local which was taking the
switch.
Horn is being prosecuted by Assistant
District Attorney Train. Frank Moss, who
was counsel for Engineer Wisker, tried
and acquitted of causing a wreck in the
Central tunnel, IL Horns counsel.
Questioned by Mr.. Moss. Archer said that
his orders from the train dispatcher were
70 give the Stamford train ~the best show"
Mr.. Moss intimated that Archer had changed
his testimony TO show that he received direct
orders to switch the Stamford train, be-
cause a member Of the State Railroad Com
mission had criticised the fact that 40 much
discretion about the movement of rains
in the rush hours was left to a towerman.
The accident was about $40 o'clock.
Horn said, however. that he frequently
switched rains from the fourth 10 the third
track.
The trial will be continued to-day.

in West Seventy fourth street, where she
prepared for college. Her health was such
that her parents were advised to persuade
her from going to college.
In a note left to her mother yesterday
she said that she had had n dream that
she was slowly dying of consumption and
feared she would become a burden on her
family.
