the adoption of the ordinance at the

FOR KILLING OF WOMAN
Southern Pacific Company Held
Responsible for Fatality

LONG BEACH, Sept. 28.-Although
witnesses testified that an alarm bell
at the corner heralds the approach of
trains and trains approach the curve
slowly, a coroner's jury today held that
the Southern Pacific railroad was large
ly responsible for the death of Mrs.

at Second street and Daisy avenue
Monday The death was said to be an
accident and members of the train
crew were absolved Of blame. The jury
held the crossing was not fully pro-
teCted.
Conductor H. Culp, Engineer K. B.
Gregg and Fireman o. c. Carleton
were witnesses. The testimony Of near
ly all witnesses of the accident was
that the train was going eight miles an
hour. One man, a passenger, said nVe
miles, and the foreman gave the speed
as about nine miles.
The body of Mrs. Watts was sent
east tonight for burial at her old home
in Pittsburg, Kas., where her relatives
live. Cicero Watts, her husband, who
was bruised painfully when their
wagon was wrecked, was removed from
the Norwood rooming house to the
Long Beach sanitarium this afternoon.
He is recovering.
Watts son, Otto Watts, a clerk at
the Lankershim, attended the in
quest and interrogated the witnesses.
Whether a suit will be brought for
damages Is uncertain. The members
of Coroner Hartwells jury were S. F..
Easterbrooks, c.. M. Blythe, w. H
Martin, F. e. Young, w. e. Erwin and
John A. Wolford.
