ENGINEER MANSFIELD SAYS
 TRACK WAS CLEAR.
Signals Were Set That Way for Him
 Before Stonington Wreck.

Charles W. Mansfield, the engineer who was in charge of the Adams ex- press train which sideswiped a freight train at Stonington last Thursday morning, killing two men and injuring many others, was able to sit up Thurs day for the first time since the acci- dent Propped up in a chair, with pillows, he told for the first time at his mothers home, 19O Day street, New Haven, the story of the wreck in which she was so severely scalded that it was thought at first he could not recover. His entire right side was burned by the escaping steam and his right foot scared and scared by steam and fire. His physician, Dr. Ludington, said that one-eighth of his entire body was scalded He expects to be around againFin ten days, but in spite of his jovial optimism regarding his condition and his hope to get back to duty in that time. 1t is doubtful If he will be back on the job for months. The railroad has exonerated him of all blame for the accident.
 To the engineer of the public utili- ties commission, c. c. ElWell, who in terviewed him, and International Com merce Commissioner Howard, and to officials of the company he has made l the claim, and stuck to it, that the yellow signal light which should have been set to show that the way was not clear, was not in evidence. His theory is that the lever in the tower | became broken and interlocked the wires in such manner that no signal was flashed. He said every indication l pointed to a clear track for the passage l of the express. around the curve, and he naturally did not abate his accus- l toned speed until he came upon the l freight rounding the curve The ex- press sideswiped the freight

It is as honorable to try a case before legislative committee ss to argue 8 matter in the supreme court of er- TOTS. Every lawyer with a respect able practice Is sooner or later re- quired to appear before the commit tee of the general assembly. Every town, city or borough attorney must look to the legislature to obtain an amendment to the charter of his re- spective client.
 T never urged a measure before 8 committee which in my judgment did not possess merit, and I would have voted for 1t had I been a member of the general assembly myself.
 If all men are lobbyists that ap- pear before a committee of the gen. eral assembly to support measure which they believe to be meritorious than I have done lobby work.
 T understand that the judge in- tends to vote for Wilson. There is hope for hi myet. When he becomes more familiar with democratic prin- ciples he will better appreciate the character and work of the chairman of the state central committee"

NOT A LOBBYIST.
Chairman Comstoek Defends Himself from charse-What He Did for New London County Corporations.

Chairman Charles w. Comstock on wednesday at meeting of the demo- cratic state central committee in New Haven defended himself from the charge made by Judge A. McMatheW- son or New Haven that Mir Comstock had worked with MT. Roraback, the chafman ofthe republican state cen eral eommitteee, as a lobbyist.
 After stating that the only time he and MT. Roraback were working for one common object was in opposing the selection of Judge Mathewson as Juoee or the police court in New Ha- ven. Chairman Comstock says:
 The judge further inti1nates that I am allied with the lobby interests of the state. It is true that have ap- peared before several Committees of the legislature in behalf of measures which l deemed of public importance ana have also appeared for the aontVllle, Norwich and Westerly, Groton and Stonington, East Lyme, Leoanon and Willimantic and Stafford street railway companies all of which corporations are independent. owned and controlled by local capital. except the Montville Street Railway company, which was purchased a few years ago by the Connecticut company. at which 1 llme l was dismissed from the board or directors and have done no work for it since.
 These street railway companies are Of the utmost convenience to the peo- pie of New London county and they unanimously favored the building and operation of these roads and also unan- imously supported the granting of the several charters in the general assem- bly,.
