 Asked if he ever heard them com 1 plain of the length of hours, he re- piled that some of the men have said l that some of the runs were harder than others, and this is especially true in stormy weather when conditions are against the men.
 He said some of the runs are for seven hours and some eleven hours. He did not consider that the seven hours continuous runs were more ex- haustive than the Il hour. runs, he l saidx in reply to a query from the coroner.

 Etsteel cars would be safer in wweclzs and would give longer service than wooden carS.''
 There is no question h hsaid but that wooden cars smash easily. in wrecks and are subject to fire while steel cars would bend and twist
 in steel cars too. They telescope each other in which event. there would be little chance for the passengers.
 He mentioned a wreck on another road-he thought it was the Pennsyi- vania, where steel car. telescoped an- other steel car causing many deaths. questioned by Expert Duffy of the Interstate Commerce Commission who asked him if he was certain of his statement that such a misnap har- pened to steel cars on the Pennsyl- vania, Or any other road. E The witness replied that that was tell where the accident happ He hsaid it might have been on the N Y.

 MT. Duffy recalled that the steel

 Then the question of the lighting of the cars was taken up. Witness said that some of the cars the ill., city, some by pintsch gas and some by acetylene gas. The car he was m was lighted by. electricity while the first 13arlor car where the four Wom- en were burned to death was lighted by pintsch gas.
 He admitted that there was danger to occupants of cars lighted by p1ntssch gas during Wrecks.
 He said however that at the time of this wreck none of the cars were lighted.
 Witness said with the, exception of the first parlor car in which the four women were killed the other pa-rlor coaches were lighted by electricity.
 The coroner WasS anxious to ascer- tain whether the car which burned the bodies of the women was a car that used the pintsch gas and the witness admitted this was the ract.
 Witness said however that the gas was not in his Judgment the cause of the fire. More likely 1t came from the fire box Of the engine.
 He said he believed the safety of passengers would be conserved by getting rid of pintsch gas and that the company was doing this now sub- stituting electricity for the gas lights
 Questioned to his Knowledge of the crosssoverS the witness said the orders to engineers were to take cer- tain cross overs at Is miles an hour and others not faster than 20 miles, the difference in time being due to the fact that some c-osSovers are longer than others He said that railroad men were agreed that roads other than the New

port station He said more time was lost in doing that The train passed utes behind it's schedule. In his judg- ment the train was travelling at that time at about 50 miles an hour.
 Coroner Phelan inquired if it were not true that the speed was more likely 60 miles an hour but the con ductor preferred to have 1t under stood that his estimate was 50 miles.
 He said the train had just passed of the station at Westport when he felt a jar and jerfly motion caused by the sudden application of the air brakes. Almost at the same moment came a pumping sensation followed by a sudden jolt that shook the train which then came to a stop.
 He was. in the seventh car-the train consisted of 10 cars including the Pullmans and mail and baggage cars
 The car he was in was an ordinary coach and he stepped out as it came to stop. It did not turn over. Then he realized for the first time that the wreck had occurred. Only one per- son in the car he was in was hurt, a coIored man, who he said was un- der the influence of liquor and who as soon as he heard the jolt made for the door with the result that the door caught him and broke one of his legs.
 He said he figured the locom otive was taking the cross-over when it left the tracks and he believed the brakes
 
 reached the cross-over.
 ttYou say the train was then going 50 miles as it took the cross-over ?'' querfed the coroner
 EtYes.''
 for that point2"
 <I think the speed was excessive in crossing the draw bridge and taking the cross oVer-''
 Then followed g. discussion of the rules of the railroad which brought out the statement from the witness that while a majority of the engineers stuck to the rules there were a few said the rules called for consider able slowing up when passing over a draw or taking a cross-over-
 He said he did not know that the train was due to take a cross-over where it did. The express had been on the main track and was compelled to shift to another track because a work train was occupying the main line carrying material for the founda- tions for the electrical system which is to be installed between Stamford and New Haven.
 Witness questioned about the dead engineer said he knew nim for ten years, always regarded him as one of men in the employ of the road and knew that if he erred at all he gen erally erred on the side of safety. As far as he knew the dead engineer all ways obeyed the rules. He last saw him when the train left New Haven station, and there told him that the train was to be the second section of the express to Stamford.
 It was here that the coroner ques- tioned him as to the state of mind of the engineer, especially if he detected any indications of drink, and the wit ness replied that the engineer as far as he could observe was in his usual normal condition.
 Witness replying to a question said that he never heard the men com plain of hardship in their work ex- cept to speak at times of having had

Testimony Shows That Train Approached Cross Over at
 High Speed, Though Signals Were Set Against It

sion for use on the New Haven road, following the wreck of the Federal Express.
 Coroner PheIap asked many ques- tions directed to ascertain the wisdom of throwing fast passenger trains from one track to another to facilitate the construction work which is going on in the neighborhood.
 At the proper time he will take up the time at which the cross-over sig nals were set, to ascertain the amount of warning that Engineer Clark had before reaching the cross-over.
 Wild stories that the engineer was dead at his post were entirely aIIayed by the evidence, which shows that he set his emergency brokes, at about the time his engine took the switch point.
 Interstate Commerce Commissioner c. C. McChord, arrived in Saugatuck this morning from Washington to make a preliminary investigation in to the conditions which caused the panied by Inspector A. F. Duffy and other subordinates- They were pres ent at both the coroner's inquest, the scene of the accident and took notes at different points along the line.

 The relatives of one of the nations great fnanciers having been killed, the wreck is of special interest in Wash ington. and the ground swarnns with inspectors attached to the Inter-State Commerce Commission
 Mir. Belknap. chief of the safety appliance department of the commits sion. is on the ground in person, with ss corps of inspectors.
 There is even a member of the commission Judge McChOrd, who is giving personal attention to the wreck, something that does not always occur in such cases.
 As the hearing was in progress, and witnesses were being heard, a gen. tle1nan hurried panting into the freight house and asked for Commits siorer NcChord. Everybody thought something had happened sudden and dreadful, but it was merely Attorney Daniel Davenport, who desired to pay his respects to the commissioners, and was in a hurry to be gone.
 Coroner PheIan devoted his efforts to getting the facts of practical rail- roading applied to the wreck, as dis tin.uisIletl from paper raiIroading rep resented by the printed rules which cover every contingency in the raai- road business and would keep all trains safe, but late, if the men who operate trains actually lived up ro them.
 The evidence didn't show much, to- dav. exceut that the Boston express was going fast, 45 OF 50 miles an hour, and that brakes were not set until the sh,pine was about over the fatal cross- over.
 T,t,e s.onductor of the fated train and two brakemen-alI there were Oo handle fen cars-were heard.
 Their attitude was not one Of sur- r,rjsf. that the train should have been running so fast, over a bridge and dangerous cross-over, and those who heard the evidence found it difflcult TO believe that the railrOaders saw any novelty in the fact that the train was moving at high speed.
 It developed that the cross-oVer is not adapted, however to be taken at higher speed than 20 miles an hour. It is not the long type recommended Inv tlle Interstate Commerce COTnn1S-

 / Present at the inquest today was 4. IF Duffy, an expert in the employ of the Interstate Commerce commission. He paid close attention to the testi-s many of the conductor and once took a hand in the questioning himself.
 Conductor Jenkins admitted that had steel cars been in use instead of wooden cars that the proba bilities are there would have been no casualties among the occupants of the parlor coaches
 He praised the dead engineer as most competent and faithful and said that when he handed him his orders at New Haven he was in his usual state of mind which was generally speaking excellent.
 Asked if he detected any sign of liquor on the engineer he replied no and moreover he added he never knew him to take a drink.
