Testimony Indicates Mis-
take Was Made at
Silver Springs.
Takoma Closing Rule
Also Believed Aid to
Disaster.
Conductor Not Required
to Go Back With
Warning.

From The testimony thus far adduced
by the coroner inquest. IL appears that
the Terra Gotta wreck was caused by
an alleged display of an incorrect signal
Al Silver Springs. and the fact that
Takoma is threwn out of commission as
a block station at $50 o'clock every
night.
Getting a double green signal at Silver
Springs. so he and others say, Hide
brand believed he had a signal hat gave
him a right TO proceed with double eau
ton 10 University, ignoring Takoma,
which he believed 10 be closed, and for
which he had good reason for so be-
lieving.
Conductor Is AbsOlved.
II has not been proved that the con-
ductor OF 66 should have sent back a
fagman TO stop 2l2o, because he only
stopped at Terra Gotta long enough 10
let passengers on and OF, n under
those circumstances the rules did not
require him 70 send back anyone 10 pro-
tect Go. He says he had no knowledge Of
the whereabouts OF 2l20.
Hildebrand saws he knew nothing OF
Go. because he had not heard of that
train since leaving Washington June
ton. For that reason he proceeded
along at twenty-five miles an hour. be-
lieving Sc was IN Washington, because il
was overdue in the Baltimore and Ohio
station.
John A. Feeny, "a telegraph operator.
the first witness called this morning,
said he was at Silver Springs after the
wreck. He said he took a message
from the train dipatcher in Baltimore.
Witness said DutroW was calm and I'M
excited. Feeny merely took the mes
sage because he was near the telegraph
key.
Did Dutrow seem able to take the
message you took?'
Yes.
