The responsibility for the accident
/ has not been determined, but there
appeared to be confusion in the or
ders as to where the cars should pass.
The cars were both specials, one from
Baltimore and the other from Annap-
oils. The accident occurred about ten
minutes to 8 p. m. 1t is said that or
! ders had been issued for the Balti-
more car to wait at Best's Gates
three miles from Annapolis, where
there is long siding, but in some
way the orders were not received OF
! understood and the car continued to-
ward Annapolis.
Just as a curve had been rounded
trees obscuring the view, the two
cars dashed together
William Hardesty, who lives near
Camp Parole, was at his home and
looking toward the track when the
collision took place. He said that
the cars approached each other at a
high rate of speed, but that the mo-
torman on one of them undoubtedly
tried to check his car, as he heard the
noise of the brake tightening.
The cars came together so soon af-
ter the curve had been rounded it is
probable that none of the passengers
had even seconds notice of thei,
danger.
Both cars were turned over on
their sides and a number of the pas
sengers were caught underneath, but
fortunately none of the injured was
so held that there was much difficulty
in releasing them.
