MARTIN J. WALSH'S TRUNKS
TRACED OUT OF THE COUNTRY
Boston Man Wanted in keIiher Trial
Fugitive from Justice.

Boston June Martin J. Walsh,
who has been missing from this city
since the National City bank of Cam
bridge went on the financial rocks last
February, was identified by several
witnesses in the trial of big BilT'
keliher today not only as a close
friend of the defendant but as the
dealer in the alleged faro game
through which Coleman said he lost
much of the banks money.
In the absence of Mr.. Walsh, whose
trunks have been traced out of the
country, the government today placed
a dozen witnesses on the stand.
Through their testimony it appears
that a real estate firm and the "Bos-
ton Bureau of the Racing Department
of an alleged telegraph company,
called John r. Marshall & Co, was
made up of Keliher and Walsh, and
that they had offices at No. Beacon
street and 80 Huntington avenue in
this city.
Previously Coleman had testified
that when a faro dealer called Jack
not "on the square" ColemanS most
intimate friend, Wilson w. Lockhart,
was placed on the stand and identi-
fed a photograph as that of the man
whom Coleman knew as Jack Leonard.
mmediately afterward, a Newton man
identified the picture as that of Mar
tin J. Walsh who was almost as well
known in this city as Keliher. Sew
eral other witnesses identified the pho
tograph as that of a man whom they
had seen with both Keliher and Cole
man. at Beacon street and at 80
Huntington avenue.

New York, June 1.-Panic resulted
tonight from rear-end collision of
two subway trains at Mott avenue, in
the Bronx branch.
Passengers Driven Choking to Street.
The rear car of the forward train
caught fire at the impact and sent out
such volumes of smoke that passengers
at the next station north, four blocks
away, were driven choking to the
street. Passengers in the forward train,
which was standing in the station
when struck, were allowed to make
their way to the fresh air by tile reg
ular station exits as soon as it was
seen that they were in no further dam
ger.
Rear Train Imprisoned.
Those in the rear train were kept
imprisoned for twenty minutes, until a
north bound train could be halted be-
side them to effect a transfer. Then
they were rapidly taken to the next
station. During this period of impris-
onment the terror of many was pitt
able. but to allow them to descend into
the tunnel would have been to expose
them to the third rail and the danger
of being run down by other trains

Many of the tracks were covered

clearing away the mass in the cut at
Cucaracha required four days. At
Culebra the damage done was com

seems to be no immediate danger of
a collapse of the buildings but the po-
lice deem the removal necessary to
