WORK ON WRECK CLAIMS
New Haven and Pullman Go. at
Odds Over Liza bility.

Steps already have been taken TO settle
the claims of some Of those injured in
the railroad wreck at Stamford. Conn, on
Thursday afternoon. Yesterday morning
the representatives OF the New Haven and
the Pullman company were each claiming
that the other company was liable for all
damages.
The New Haven contention was that
the killed and injured were all occupants
Of the parlor car. and as that was the
property OF the Pullman company that
concern is liable.
The pullman claim was that as the ac-
cldent was caused by New Haven loco
motive the New Haven was responsible
for damages. Later In the day II was
reported that the New Haven claim de-
partment was working on the cases with
view TO settling them.

brought out. within twenty-four hours
after the tragic rear-end collision be-
tween the two sections OF the Boston eN-
press here yesterday, the facts IN the
case. from the point of view Of the en-
gineer. whom the railroad company in Its
official statements charged with re-
sponsibiity for the disaster.
Charles j. Doherty, the engineer. was
held at the end of the days session in a
bond OF 5000 which was furnished by
his brother-in-law. John E. Dillon, Of
New Haven. Doherty made good wit
ness for himself.
throughout his long examination by
Coroner Phelan, Doherty persistenuy
and sometimes almost unconsciously
shouldered the blame upon the railroad
corporation which employed him. The
engineer was almost broken by the strain
Of the last twenty-four hours, and al
times in his examination he gave way to
tears and sobs.
Doherty gave his age as thirty-one, but
when he took the witness chair to-day ne
looked more like a man Of fOrty-one. HIS
face is marked with flaky patches that
hint at close and dangerous encounters
with boilers. His build and proportions
indicate a weight of not more than lou
pounds. and ii is only in the size and APP
parent strength of his hands that he gives
promise Of the ability to handle a loco

Bore Signs of Strain.


When he came into the room to-day il
was seen that his face was swollen and
red as If from crying. and his eyes blood
shot His voice finished the impression OF
general misery and strain under which he
seemed 10 labor, for ii was hoarse and
rasping. so that for a large part of the
time he seemed TO be half choking on his
own words.
He had been on the stand but a few
minutes when he admitted that with the
exception Of four special occasions since
March 16 last, when he took out passen-
ger trains, he had been engaged entirely
in running freight trains until last Tues
day. on that day he was assigned as an
extra" engineer TO take out train No. SO
the same train which he drove into the
collision on Thursday-from New Haven
10 stamford.
In answer 10 Coroner Phelan's questions
Doherty said that he was not an expert"
on signals. but that he was a normal
engineer and knew the signal system. He
sketched out the plan of the signals in
and around Stamford on Coroner Phelan S
desk, and explained the working Of the
signal system IN detail.
DOherty outlined his experiences with
Engine No. 1888. Tuesday. and again
Wednesday. from which the inference was
plain that the young engineer looked upon
the big Pacific type" engine as an un-
wieldy mechanism TO handle. lie told OF
''over running" the station at Bridgeport
TO such an extent that he had 10 back
up to II afterward; he described an incl
dent in the station at South Norwalk,
where a little boy ran along the platform
close 10 the track. and he had "wrenched"
so swiftly and forcefully at the reversible
lever that he had strained his back. upon
which he was still wearing plasters to-
day.
on Wednesday afternoon. because OF
this strain, he had reported sick, but on
Thursday. feeling himself capable OF
handling the job again. he had returned
10 work.
Coroner Phelan took Doherty carefully
over every word Of his evidence on this
point and got from him the admission
that ne had reported for work at time
when he knew he could not handle the
heavy reversible lever
The evidence led the engineer along
slowly 10 the beginning OF his Inflated
trip on Thursday afternoon, and of his
first wrench on that last trip when the
Green Farms signal had been set against
him so that he had to bring his train 10
a stop.
