TEST TRAIN
 TO WRECK
tcontinued from Page one.)

CContinued from Page One.)
 Iute denial, Introduced witnesses, fur nished by Chief of Police Brennan, who swore that standing within ten feet of the monster they had seen an engineer of the company mount the cab and after great difficulty reverse the lever and move back into. the yards. As it had been previously tes- tff1ed that this movement had been accomplished by another engine and car secured for the purpose of push ing it, a ripple of amazenent swept over the courtroom and those who had testified to its inpossfblity look ed surprisedly from one to the other.
 The testimony for the railroad was given by George Taptn who said he was a "BIack Smoke Tester" employed to reduce the volume of smoke on en- zines travelling between the Harlem river and Stamford. He had been de- tailed to watch engine 1888 and see that none taInpered with it after the wreck. He had mounted the cab and found that it would steam, but had no air. He could not ascertain the cause of the trouble as the 'islzy-Iark shell still encurnbe dts boiler and he be- Iieved a pipe was broken. When the car had been taken from the engine the engine was lowed bo New Haven by the wreclzer.
 - Agent Aiken understood the engine
  zine and was unable to assist in se- curing any witnesses to prove to the contrary. Attorney Benjamin I. Spock was also unable to assist the coroner in locating any witnesses to its move nent.
 A Hist of names however were sup piled by Chief of Police Brennan and resulted in G. E. RisIey being brought into court. He, stood upon the fire mans side of the wreck, when some one called "AII o1rt'' to the men searching the debris over the boiler. He was surprised to see the engine move without other assistance than its own power He was followed by Am drew SleshSvig who likewise observed tho same feat after a. rather stout man in overalls 11ad mounted the cab and bracing himself with both feet pulled the lever beck. The whole went back wards rather slowly, but pulled down some ground signal wires and a stop had to be made while some projecting rods were sawed off from the wreck age.
 James Hefferman, Sergeant of Po- lice, and at the time Acting Chief, also saw the engine moving backwards to-. wards Miller street and was satisfied that it was proceeding under its own power.
 William J. Malone, engineer, saw an engineer get aboard the locomotive about 6 o'clock and reverse the lever. He had to use great force, in fact, braced his feet and ''yanked'' on it several times before it reversed. With out warning he opened the trottle and carried the parlor car back with it.
 Edward G. Aiken, again placed on the stand, failed to recall the occur renee, though he did remember seeing Dohertys train approaching from the distance, and noted by the time be- tween signals in the tower that the train was travelling fast, in fact he overheard remarks in the tower that the train was travelling too fast. He did not understand the whistle signal as one of distress or warning. He as-l
