LAW STILL BEING ENFORCED.
Railroad VIII Not Move Body of Ac-
cident Victim without Permission.

In answer 10 the criticism of the Dis
trict Commissioners and others as TO the
handling of the "morgue train" Assistant
Trainmaster Carr said.
1T is not true that the law regarding
the removal OF the bodies OF accident vic
Tins has not been practically enforced
since Coroner hewitt assumed charge 81
his Office I reiterate that l wouldn't have
moved the bodies without the coroner 8
permission RE never acquainted me with
the fact that the law on the subject was
not being enforced. and if it is not, | know
nothing about it, ] never saw hewitt or
West on the train. If they were there. or
at the scene Of the wreck ! never saw
either one Of them. I saw most Of the
other officials
When I received a telegram from my
superintendent that we had permission to
move the bodies. I dispatched the train
Immediately. Ny sole concern when l
first arrived on the scene was the injured:
TO get them into Washington as speedily
as possible. I don't think there was ever
such a record made on any railroad. We
left Washington at Ills and were back at
o'clock with every injured person. except
those who asked 10 be taken 10 nearby
houses. and a doctor was sent along with
every one Of them.
The dead were handled just as care
fully as the injured. / did not propose to
have them handled like cattle, but with
due care and consideration"

WHISTLEDFORSIGNAL
dead head" Train Got Red
Light i'll Response.
PHILLIPS MAKES NEW CLAIM
Operator Declares He Put Up the
Danger Mark, but Got No Answer
Indicating 1t Was Seen-Is Worn
Out by the Strain Since the Wreck.
Was Worst Night in Years.

New and important points regarding
ths action taken by Operator Phillips at
the time Of the Terra Gotta wreck We're
brought out yesterday in an additional
statement made TO a Washington Herald
reporter
Not only does Phillips reassert that
he had req light displayed. but he also
claims he put up this signal in response
to a whistle for signals from the ap-
preaching "dead-head' train. Further
more, the operator claims he got no an
swering whistle to indicate his signal had
been seen.
1t develops also that IL was special
work that kept him at his post after his
regular hours were over. and hence re-
suited in his being involved in the fixing
of the responsibility for the accident. Mr..
Phillips has been at his post regularly
with the exception Of one-half a day
spent at the police headquarters yester-
day.
Held Only as witness.
He is now being held as a witness for
the investigation. which viii commence
to-day at 10 a. H., ne being exonerated Of
all blame in the matter by the officials.
Il was due 20 leave my post at 6.30," he
said, but some special work kept me. At
6.3i I heard the train whistling for a
signal. I set the red light and there was
no answering signal There ought always
20 be- then sent a message 10 University
station saying, '2I20 has gone by my red
target going like HI I was not expect
ing q signal at that time, as il was one
minute after the time Of closing.
II was on duty and at nay post" he con-
tinued. from $50 Sunday morning until
closing time Monday afternoon. with the
exception Of half day spent in the police
headquarters yesterday. Another operator
was sent 10 my post during this time but
! Immediately went back TO my work and
am being held under bail simply as a wit
ness.
Worst Night in Years.
Il do not believe that Engineer Hide
brand saw the signal have been in the
service Of the company for thirty-one
years, and that night was the fOggiest and
worst for trainmen I have seen in my ca
reer. Mr.. Hildebrand has always been an
excellent engineer and I would not say
anything 10 inCriminate him"
Mr. Phillips was evidently worn out by
the strain he had suffered through the
wreck His face was white and drawn,
and sorrow had left is imprint strongly in
every feature He talked nervoUsly, re-
peating over and over again. Il am aw-
fully sorry" He acted as though be

awful catastrophe. but his demeanor was

EXTRAS SPEED ESTIMATED.
Police Figure Train Was Making
Twenty-three Miles Per Hour.


Engineer Hildebrands estimate of the
speed al which his train was travelling at
the time Of the collision at Terra Gotta is
nearest correct, as proven by figures. The
speed. as shown by the time the extra"
went through Takoma, 6:31. the time of
the crash, according to watches stopped
by the shock. 6:3j. and the exact distance
Travelled, is exactly twenty-eight and
one-half miles an hour.
This figuring is conservative as three
watches in the possession Of the police
give different times-one. 6:35; the second.
6:S6, and the third, 6:37. The timepiece
which stopped at $50 looks like a railroad
watch Taking $50. the average as
shown by the three watches, the rate of
speed at which the extra was travelling
was twenty-five and four-hfths miles an
hour.
