The mother and sister of Private
John Bergen, a Fort Mansfield soldier,
who was run over by 4 train from
which he alighted at the Westerly sta
ton, about two years ago, and died
soon thereafter, were in Westerly
Monday, getting at the facts in the
case. They came from Brooklyn and
ascertain whether Private Bergen was
intoxicated at the time of the mishap-
The Bergens instituted a suit in
damages against the New York, New
haven and Hartford Railroad COM

them to accept $500 in settlement, in
forming them that it was useless TO
gen was drunk at the time and that
the fatality was due to his reckleSsness
in stepping from the train before ii
stopped by reason of his intoxicated
condition.
Mrs Bergen and her daughter
doubted the sincerity of their lawyer
and consulted with another learned in
the law. He advised them to come to
Westerly and get information in re-
gard to that important factor, and if
it were ascertained that Bergen was
not drunk he would prosecute the
case.
Mrs and Miss Bergen consulted with
Chief of Police Bransfeld, Policeman
West, who was at the station at the
time of the mishap, and with Drs.
Seanlen and May who attended the
injured man, and with others, and are
satisfied that their son and brother
was not intoxicated. They said that
on their return to Brooklyn there
would probably be a change in counsel
and that the case would be tried in
court.
