Yesterday afternoon O. statement was sent
out that placed the blam" on Schroeder.
According TO this. Schroeder is huy-four
years old and had been on this particular
run ever since II was established. twenty
three years ago. As an engineer he had an
excellent record. and at the time Of the
wreck was not fatigucd. because he had
been on duty only an hour. The statement
said:
The road Is fully equipped with the latest
and most complete automatic block signal
system, which provides for two warning
signels 10 the rear OF every train Tho
signals are about a mile apart. the signal
farthest in the rear notifying any dp,
preaching engineer to reduce speed ana
hold his train under control. and the signal
Immediately In the rear Of the forward
train notifying the engineer to come TO a
stop.
An official Investigation on the ground
has deycloped the fact that Schroeder
passed the signal which stood at caution.
Indicating that train No was ahead. lie
not only passed this signal and ran throus D
the cautonary block at full speed but ran
nv the home signal which stood at Dan

nal and into the train which was standing
