Is. Were the fire extinguAshers
within this car unusa BILE to use against
the approaching flames that were
slowly reaching for the imprisoned
women to lick up their precious lives?
16. Were they of such a compli-
Gated mechanism that in time of pan
ic it would have required a passenger
to ind his eye glasses, read compl1-
Gated directions for use in fine print,
and then be at loss how to detach
and use them?
II. Were the ties that were 1ocat-
ed just before the point where this
recklessly moving train took this
short cross-oVer, rotten as punk? SO
that the coroner picked out the
chunks of decayed wood With the
blade of his jack-knife?; and did it
tend to give the engine an unsteady
motion in taking this short cross
over?
Is. Were the cars of obsolete
like kindling wood upon the first con-
tact Were they up to the modern
standards of Pullmans? If they had
been of steel frame construction
would any lives have been lost?
10. When Mr.. MelIen advertised
his 'defenses'' under a series humor-
ously labelled Truth Nos. /. 2, 3, etc.
and in Truth No. q" stated that if

the disaster would not have been
averted; that the capacity of a No.
20 cross-over is % miles per hour,
at a speed of 40 miles per hour, did
he state the truth to the public?

that the maximum capacity of No.

would such cross-over have averted
the horrible disa ster?

%. VIII the gentlemen of the New

over their wine and reflect upon these

their certificate of good character for
the New Haven road was ill-consider
ed. premature, without warrant of

settled subserviency of New Ravens
substantial citizens to the policies and
mandates of this New England monop-

20 Are those of the aforesaid

mem bers of the Republican party,
aware that honest citizens by the thou

with disgust from the Republican
