Whittlesey entered a coach and
began Immediately to work his way
through the massive crowd taking
up tickets. Trudell, who could have
saved all had he known the orders,
stood on the back end, unconscious
of irregularity while they sped past
the Y. The time passed quickly
with the busy conductor and he
didn't know they had gone too far
till a sudden lurch given by the
gripping of the brakes told him of
the blunder of the man ahead. The
next instant came the crash, then
the blood chilling screams of the
frightened and injured mingled
with the means of the dying.
Campbell had tried to stop his
train, but it was too late, and
chances were against him. First
the overhead jack. connecting the
motors and the airpumps with the
power-the one piece of mechan-
ism upon which the fate of those
two trainloads of people depended
was blown from it's place by the
sudden check in the current by the
reverse of the motors and the in
Simultaneous planting of the emer-
gency brakes. He replaced it in
stantly, but seconds counted, and
with Campbell still at his post, the
train, running at the rate of rs
miles an hour, crashed with the
regular.
Whittlesey admitted that he had
frequently signed the register for
his motorman and Superintendent
Bowdish declared on the stand that
had he known it he should have
suspended him for the violation of
rules.
This inquest will not end the in
vestigation into the wreck, Attor-
ney Will Graves, counsel for the
railroad, stated yesterday. When
Campbell is able to testify, another
regular investigation will be taken
up in Spokane to further show the
cause of the accident.

JURY BLAMES TRAIN
CREW FOR COLLISION

Motorman d. z. Campbell, lying
N a little darkened room of the
Occur d'Alene hospital, weakened
and wasted almost to a mere
broken skeleton by so many injur-
les that death, at times, would

held by a coroners jury partially
responsible for the deadly wreck

catastrophe, for running past the Y
without orders was found. Camp
bell and Conductor Whittlessey are
blamed for the most, as they both
held copies of the orders and
Brakeman Trudell of the same i'll
fated train knew nothing of their
contents, Violations of the rail-
roads rules, the jury claims, caused
the whole thing.
Whittlesey violated the rules
first by registering in and out of
Occur d'Alene station for Motor
man Campbell, while the rules pre-
scribe that both motorman and con-
ductor must sign the register. He
violated them again in not inform
ing his brakeman, Trudell, of the
contents of the trains orders.
Trudell testified yesterday at the
inquest that he had asked Conduc-
tor Whittlesey what the orders
were and received no answer. He
had not been given copy of them.
Campbell took his orders, saying,
"All right, are you ready?" and
