he stated.
Hildebrand swOre he got a double green
signal at Silver Springs to proceed with
caution, and did so.
Questions prOpounded by Commits
sioners mcfarland and West, submit
ted through Coroner hewitt. Assistant
District Attorney Turner, and members
OF the jury, elected the information that
he saw no signal at TakOma, heard no
torpedoes. saw no red lanterns. fuses. or
fagInan from Go. and had no reason for
believing that train was anywhere other
than in the Baltimore ana Ohio station,
where II was overdue.
His Previous 0fenses.
Hildebrand admitted having been dis
ciplined for running through switch
where he was supposed 10 stop; letting
the water get so low in his boiler that a
bolt blew out, and passing a sleeping
hagman.
He said he had eight hours sleep be-
tween Friday, December y, and the time
OF the wreck, but also declared this was
all the sleep he wanted.
There appears 10 be a preponderence
or evidence TO show that Operator Dut-
row, at Silver Springs, gave Hlldebrand
a double green signal, although Dutrow
insists that he displayed a white signal.
Just why he should exhibit signal for
Hndebrand 10 proceed slowly with dOu-
Bile caution" has not been explained.
The signal meant either that a train
was using a crossover In the block or
Takoma was closed. Neither was the
case when the signal was displayed.

conducted themselves as though they
We're firmly convinced that nothing for
which they were responsible had caused
