lions, as did also Coroner Thomas. Mir CIeary in the main endeavored to establish that there had been ques- ton as to the safety of car so among the employees of the road, that there had Eeen Reorganization of working forces at the car barn, that the rolling stock was in bad order. that hand brakes were not connected on the cars and were useless. that no inspection was ever made of hand brakes or in- structions given in their use. that city franchise was violated in failure of cars to be equipped with lenders and that rules were lacking. The latter issue was in process of investigation when the hearing was adjourned. In all the others MFs Cleary pursued his questioning until it had been demon strated that there was no foundation for his suppositions-tha Is, so far as testimony of the afterncon went There are other witnesses remaining on the list of those called who will probably
 be heard today. They may make a ,hange in all conclusions that may have been drawn to this time.
 The only point on which there uiu- mately seemed to be doubt yesterday
 afternoon. so far as evidence had gone. was in relation to the question of yio- lation of the city franchise calling for
 the use of lenders or their cars by the street railway. It wss finally brought ont that lenders had been put on cars
 hut that trial had shown that in max ing the sharp turns at the Bank oi Tjsbee and in Lowell these lenders wore a menace to the public instead of a protction and that the city councii at that time asquiesed to their discoil' tiuuarce. Asked if he did not think that lenders on the cars on Tuesday ] would have broken the shock or col .lision. Superintendent Yoakum thought they would merely have folded up and possibly caused more injury in so do
 ing than was had. This opinion was
 shared in by others who were heard, It will probably be gone into further, . however. today.
