ONE kILLED-THREE DYING.
Rear-end Collision Near Saratoga, N
Y.-Several Others Injured.

Saratoga. N. ", March I'm a rear
end collision here tonight on the Del
aware & Hudson Railroad, one person
was killed. three We're so badly injured
that they will probab bly, die, and several
others were hurt. Miss Gertrude Es-
mond of Gansevoort. 10 years old, was
instantly killed, her skull being
crushed when the car in which she was
telescopej by the coach behind. Her
mother. Mrs. Charles Esmond. 40 years
of age. received internal injuries which
il is said will prove fatal Frank A,
Singecuse OF Buffalo, a travelling sales
man, suffered the loss of a leg and Is in
a serious condition. Frank Terse of AL
bany VAS badly crushed about the
body. All three We're taken to a hos
pttal. Other passengers We're less Sc
riously injured.
All of the injured and the girl who
was killed were in the forward coach
of the local train from Glens Falls
which Was held up on account of de-
ralied freight train near the Saratoga
depot. The Glens Falls train had been
at Standstill for some time when the
Montreal express came into view. The
engineer of the express claims that he
saw the danger and applied the emer-
gency brakes; but the rails were slip
perry and at very little if any dimin-
ished speed the Montreal flyer crashed
into the standing local. telescoping.
The Esmond child was caught betw cen
the first coach and the baggage car.
The other passengers We're pinned
down by wreckage and We're rescued
with much difficulty.
That the list of killed and injured is
so small is attributed to the fact that
many persons in the local train had be-
come tired out from the long wait and
had left the train to walk to the depot

missible political expenditures: () pro-
visions for judicial inquiry into election

today. He had escaped from his cap
tors, he said. by stealing out of room
above a 59th street saloon today while
one of his captOrs, who had been left
alone to guard him, turned his back
for a moment. The boy says that it
took him but a second to spring be-
yond the mans reach and get down.
stairs to the street where no attempt
was made to pursue him.
He told how he was terrorized into
writing a letter to his father, John
BoZZuffi. an East Side banker, inform
ing him that $4,000 must pe paid and
that if the police We're informed his
life would be taken. He was induced
to enter the saloon by two Italians.
who told they wished him to do some
Interpreting in English. Taken to the
upstairs room. he says. he was at first
bound and handkerchief was forced
into his mouth. Three men wearing
black masks then entered the room.
One of them. the boy, said. pointed at
the door saying: If you attempt to
escape that way we will have your
blood"
He rinched the boys face and then
pressed the revolver against the lads
head and commanded him to write the
letter to his father. The letter was
dated. by direction of the captors as il
it came from Brooklyn
After this episode. according to the
boys story, he was treated kindly and
given enough to eat. Usually the two
men remained in the room whit him.
His opportunity to escape came when
one of these guards left the room today.
