 Lawyer John Elliott, who is attorney for Engineer William E. Fisher, made the statement last night that William E. Fisher was under his care, and that he was acting under his instructions. He said that any statement which had been made to the effect that Fisher was trying to escape was erroneous, the fact being that he wanted to come to New Haven and surrender himself to the coroner, but was prevented by his lawyer, who considered that he was in no physical condition to be questioned regarding the accident Attorney El- liott stated that he had associated with him well known local counsel and that he had promised to have Fisher appear before the coroner at the earliest possi- ble moment, which might be some time day.
 Engineer william F. Fisher, who ran the special which ran into the regular train at Waterbury, is believed now to have been within easy distance of the city. Yesterday Coroner Mix was in- formed by two well known attorneys that they would hand Fisher over to the coroner this morning.
 Fishers wife, who was interviewed at her home on Liberty street yesterday said she was glad that her husband was alive and she knew that if he was re- sponsible for the accident that he would face the music. He belonged she said, to family of railroaders and was welded to his work. It is be- lieved he has secured bondsmen.
 Fishers story is that he was thrown out of the engine cab at the time oi the collision and was dazed by the fall He started to run and must have con- tinued his flight for some hours, as when he regained his senses he found himself miles away from the scene o1 the collision.

DESPERATE HOLD-UP
 ON MISSOURI PACIFIC
TWO MEN WORK PASSENGER TRAIN OUTSIDE OF PITTS
 BURG, KAN.

Kill Negro Who Protests-Stray Bullet
 Hits Another Passenger--Few on the
 Train and Robbers Get But S1O0 in
 Cash and Few Watches and Re-
 voIvers - Miners Securing Country
 and Will Lynch Bandits if Captured.
 Pittsburg, Kan, March 1.-The Mis- souri Pacific passenger train which left here at 7:3O this evening was held up by two men in disguise, and Lou Jeff, a colored miner employed at Camp S1 of the Central Coal and Coke company, was killed because he protested, and w. L. Westlake, of Toledo, O., who, with his wife and two children, had been visiting relatives in Kansas, was shot through the hand by a stray shot that had been fired at the negro.
 There were few passengers on the train and the robbers got about $1O0 in cash and few watches and reyolvers.
 The men were disguised only with false moustaches and goatees. One was tall, weighing between 1S0 and 19O, while the other weighed about 16O pounds. Both were dark k-complexioned and wore dark sloucfl hats and dark clothes. They boarded the train at Pittsburg and began working the train as it passed the Kansas City Southern railroad shops. They commenced at the smoking car. One robber walked ahead with a large revolver in each hand ana quietly asked the passengers to "shell out" to the man behind, who was closely following.
 They were not far behind the train auditor and followed him into the day coach. When they came to Jeff in the coach he at once grasped the idea that it was a hold-up, and after the auditor had passed he drew a revolver and shot at the foremost robber, who shot twice at the negro The first shot went wilo and struck Westlake, but the second slot hit the negro in the head, and kill ed him instantly. The robbers ther quietly made the auditor deliver his money, and hurriedly left the train as it entered the yards at Cornell.
 WeStlake, the Wounueo passenger was taken to Liberal, where his hand was dressed by surgeon of the rail road company. As soon as communi- cation could be had with Agent Dona- hy of Pittsburg, switch engine with several officers was sent to Cornell, four miles from here.
 The country surrounding Pittsburg is thickly settled, and ir dotted with viii lages and mining camps. It Is report ed that the news that a miner was kill. ed by the bandits has aroused hun dreds of other miners, who will attemp ito capture and lynch the robbers

ID HOLD DIRECTORS AND
 PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE
CORONER,S JURY RETURNS VER- DICT ON RECENT CENTRAL
 WRECK.

Finds That the Railroad Company Did
 Not Take All the Necessary Precau-
 tiOns to Guard It's Passengers and
 Consequently is CuIpabIy Negligent
 Defendants Paroled Until To-day
 When the Coroner Announces He
 WIZ Accept Bail.
 New York, March 1.-The coroner's jury. which has been Investigating the wreck on February 16 on the New York Central railroad, as a result of which tyenty-three persons met death, to-day returned verdict finding that the New York Central and Hudson River railroad company did not take all the necessary precautions to guard it's passengers at this point, and con- sequently were culpably negligent, and that the responsibility for the existing condition seems to be divided between the construction and operating depart ments.'
 When Coroner Schwannecke received the verdict he turned to the jury and asked:
 "Can you gentlemen find any indi- vidual responsible?'
 "There is our verdict" returned the foreman.
 Then" answered the coroner, II will hold Che entire board of directors of the New York Central, and also the president and will parole them until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when I shall accept bail"
 The verdict was rendered tonight after two weeks Investigation by the coroner and a jury, during which many witnesses have been called The coro- ner's jury finding contained eleven sec- tions, and related that ''the derailment was caused by a portion of the track consisting of its easterly rails being forced out of its proper position" this | condition being due to the impact of the Brewster express The jury also declared that the train was running at a speed fin excess of what has proven to be safe for such train on a track laid to the existing curvature at this point, rails of which were fastened to the ties in a manner in which these were proven to be fastened"
 Another section of the finding recites that the lateral pressure of the train running over the curve at the Wood- lawn road, where the accident occur red, cut off the heads of the spikes holding the easterly rail, thus permit ting the displacement.
 | The jury recommended that the New York Central and other railroads in the state be compelled to reinforce the fas- tening of the outer rail on all curves, "as we feel that unless such protection is taken similar accidents may be ex- pected, that until such reinforcement is made railroads be compelled to low 1 CT the speed of trains on curves, and that all trains be equipped with record 1 ing apparatus, so that the engine driv- CT may know the speed at which he is | running.
 In the course of the inquest to-day, Professor George Swaine of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology was called to the witness stand, and gave considerable technical testimony.
