 hat in his hand and dashed into the first cafe he came to. He demanded drink and wanted to know what had happened. His wrists were cut and he had two slight cuts on each side of his head. He was dazed and was taken care of by people in the cafe.
 Dexter E. Clark of Starview ave- nue, the well known house painter, was standing on the depot platform waiting to take the train for Water town, when he heard the crash. His two sons generally come in from Watertown on an early car and be- lieving it was the car his boys were on he rushed to the scene. He assisted in the rescue of the injured and was surprised to find that one of them was Miss Benson, a sister of his son s wife.
 Prosecutor Meigs understands that the accident occurred in this manner: The passenger train had just come in from the north and upon pulling up at the depot, obstructed the view of the gateman. The gateman had no signal that a train was due on the crossing and raised the gates after the passenger train went by. This ex- planation would put the responsibility for the accident on the train dis patcher. yet it seems the gates were down, for one of them was broken off in the accident and carried with the trolley car up the track.
 Superintendent Wales and General Manager Punderford had a long talk with Prosecuting Attorney Meigs this forenoon. Assistant Prosecuting At torney McGrath is handling the mat ter for the state. No official declara- tion has been made to him by any of those concerned in the accident, but it was reported that Conductor Dil- Ion had made a statement in the po- lice station that he went ahead of the car when it reached the railroad crossing and waved the red flag and carried out the provisions of the law to the letter in that respect. In view of this statement the officers of the law fail to see how the accident oc- cured.
 The identity of Jane Kelly came in a peculiar manner, and was a heart rending incident. Her sister, Theresa was taken to the hospital suffering from a broken ankle and she insisted that her sister. Jane, was among the dead. There was an unidentified wo- man among the dead whom no one seemed to know the slightest about until Miss Kelly convinced the hospi- tai authorities that her sister had been killed. ''I know she is gone. she cried, because she was sitting by my side and I saw her head go with al thud against the floor. In the crash I lost sight of her but know she is there" she insisted. Both girls were employed fin the Pin company. The young woman at the hospital is al- most heartbroken.
