Long Island Railroad responsible for the
collision between two trains at College
Point on September %, when three tram
men and n passenger were killed.
The jury. which was presided over by

caused the wreck Following the verdict,
walter W. Maize. a towerman, who had

the trains TO run head-on on a single
track. was released.

tendent, admitted that the road, like all

the law in not giving tower operators two
days' rest each month. He said that he
and the superintendent had agreed that
the block signal system should be In
stalled all along each branch OF the road
II was his hope that this might be done
before next summer.
