To MAKE NOARRESTS
So Decides States Attorney Ma
son, Of jefferson County.
CONFERRED WITH OFFICERS HERE
Men Held Responsible For Wreck of
the DuqueSne Monday Morning
Will Not Be Prosecuted BY
the Courts.
the Courts.

States Attorney Mason, of Jeffer-
son county, who came to Martinsburg
Tuesday evening for the purpose OF
comforting with local officers concern
ing the wreck of the Duquesne Limit
ed near Shenandoah junction on Mon
day morning, returned home with the
determination to allow the matter to
drop, so far as the prosecution of the
men held responsible is concerned.
States Attorney Mason held a con-
sultation with States Attorney Allen
s. Noll, Coroner w. R. Kline and Dr..
s. N. Myers, and arrived at the conclu-
sion that the civil courts could prob
ably not make a case out of the wreck
and that it would be wise to allow the
matter to drop. While Mr. Mason did
not state definitely that no action
would be taken by him, he intimated
as much to the local officers before
returning home.
All the injured who yet remain in
the Kings Daughters hospital here
are reported to be getting along well
this afternoon, and it is probable that
they will be able to leave for their
homes in short time. The mother
of the little Hudson girl arrived Tues
day night, and expects to take her
daughter to their home in Baltimore
either this evening or tomorrow.
The body of B. Beveridge, who was
killed iii the wreck, will be sent to
Cameron this evening. 1t appears. that
the dead man has relatives in Tren-
ton, N. j., and Cameron, and Super
intendent Blaser has decided to send
the remains to the latter place.
Mr.. Frank Bryne, of Pittsburg, a
claim agent for the Baltimore & Ohio,
has been here since Monday, and will
probably remain for several days.
