James H. Murphy, division superintend-
ent OF the old Colony Street Railway com
pany. declared before Coroner Lincoln
yesterday that his examination or the

Monroe notorman OF the car directly
ahead caused him 10 believe that Ganelle.
the motornan who took charge OF the car
mt the state line did not try 10 reverse
the power when he found the car rushing
with increasing momentum.
Mr.. Murphy said that he personally ex-
amined the car at Taunton and that II
was all right at that time. His exam-
nation OF the controller after the accl-
dent satisfied him. he said. that the power
had not been reversed during the fatal
rush down the hill.
James A. Curran, the motorman who
brought the car In question from Taunton
10 the state line, testified that the air
brake was apparently all right when he
turned the car over TO the crew Of the
Rhode Island company. He said that he
had not noticed the gauge Of air pressur,
particularly during the trip TO the state
line from Taunton and could not state
what II had registered when he left the
ear. He was certain that the brake was
working all right however, else he would
have noticed II on his trip from Taunton

SAYS MOTORMlAN
DIDN'T TURN
ON "REVERSE"

saw II. / gave IL as good an inspection as
| could under the circumstances.
THE first thing l looked at was the
controller on the end toward Providence
at the time OF the accident. ] noticed
that the reverse was thrown forward and
called this fact TO the attention OF Ed
ward Rauch superintendent OF car re-
pairs of the old Colony company. and, l
think. 10 a Mr.. Davis. division foreman OF
the Traverse street car house, and 10
young man who said that he was superin-
tendent of the Pawtucket Street Railway
company.
This indicated 10 me that the motor
man operating this car did not try 10 re-
verse his power in order to avoid the col
lision.
''The reverse handle was on the con-
troler box in a proper position to go for
ward.
''The controller was lying half way
down on a pile OF wood and wreckage
that had resulted from the collision.
I'm my opinion no stick OF wood or
piece OF iron from the wreck at the time
OF the collision could have moved that
reverse forward The only power that
could have moved the reverse forward
would be that applied by a mans hand.
The first throw man would give II would
place the reverse in the centre and the
next move would have placed 1t in the
position where I found II.
1T would have been an absolute impos-
sibilty for any other power 10 move the
reverse. / would say that the chances
were against any other theory; still, !
would not say that the reverse was not
moved forward. by being hit with some
missile"
James A. Curran OF Taunton. the mo-
torman. who brought the car TO the state
line on Fourth OF July forenoon said
he was certain that the car. No 55. was
In good condition while in his hands and
that the air-brake was all right.
