Once there was a klttenish Senorita

II was one Of those notdead-but-

 Hartford, April 14-It became known here today that Judge William F. Heney, national committeeman for the Republican party in Connecticut and prospective candidate Of the O.. Q. IF. of Connecticut for governor. did ¬ vote in the election in this city last Tuesday when Representative Jo- seph H. Law1er was elected mayor over Louis Cheney.
 It is understood that Judge Heney had g legal engagement in New York and that he was conpe1led to hurry to catch his train and therefore did not have time to put one in for his friend Mayor Cheney whose election he advocated on the stump and whose counsel he has been since the election Judge Heney may have paired with a Democrat but 1t is understood that he did not pair and what is bother ing the stalwart organization men Of Hartford is that they are unable to find any proper explanation for the failure of the titu1ar head of the party in this state to support by his vote the candidate of his party in his home town.

that the train would have floated over the cross-over at the speed ft wa1 Uc- ing, safely, if the engineer had mot ap- piled his reverse brake while ts-lclug it. This he claims, made the eu8inc rigid. and it failed to respond to rnc curves.
 Experts are agreed that 1t is not safe to take any cross-over at a. hiEl rate of speed. There is no evldancl to support the states claim that thr accident would not have occurred if 1 cross over of greater length had been in use. The most that can be sail is that it would have been 1ess Ike ly to have occurred
 We are unable to. prove that longer cross-over would have carried the train safely Authorities difer as to what cross-over is most dc1ir- able under all circumstance. Tlr whole question as to what cross-oves under all circumstances fs the aafesI is one Of judgment on which rsilroar men differ
 Tn viewzof the foregoing facts vr. are of the opinion that s- noIle prcrN qui should be entered and with tte courts approval we will make suc- disposition of the case"

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-04-14

The report of the prosecutors vim dicating Mellens says in part: We have been over the evidence with States Attorney Jpdson and those
 who have aided him in the prepara- ton of the case. We have talked with the coroner and carefully read all the 1 evidence taken by him. We have
 read the expert report of the investi- gatton of the accident made to the public utilities commission. We have examined the records of the board of
 directors and executive committee or the company and after a thorough and exhaustive examination of the law and the facts in the case wes4are forced to the conclusion that there is not sufficient evidence to justify trial
 "The evidence clearly shows that the road bed tracks, signals, cars, en- zines and other train equipment. were + in good condition and did not con tribute to the accident The signals were correctly set for the cross-over movement of the train, and the re- quired number of brakemen were proved in compliance, with the order of the railroad commissioners The engineer was competent. if not one of the best. We are assured by ex- perts that there is successful au- tomatic device for stopping trains in
 
 try, and have not been able to pro- cure any evidence ~tos the contrary As to the cross over the recommen- dalton says: States Attorney Judson and those who have assisted him in the preparation of the case for trial agree with us that the only allega- ton in the Information upon which
 the conviction may be looked for if at all is that the accused was exclu- sively charged with the duty to pro-, vide and maintain at the place of the accident a cross-over of sufficient to pass from track one to track three at high speed in safety, and that he neglected this duty and that the death of Jane Doe was caused thereby. Hence we have examined this allega- ton and the evidence we have been able to obtain to support it with much care, and we are satisfied 41l that the accused was not charged with any such specific duty as to cross-overs;
 (2) that the accident was not caused by the type of cross over in use.
 .sThe cross-over in use at the time of the accident is Q. No. 10 so-called and the company has a rule which requires engineers to take this cross over at rate of speed not greater than fifteen miles an hour
 "A few minutes before the accident the first section of No. S3 took the ksame cross-over. under said speed rue. safely. The essential practical differ ence between a number 10 cross over and one of greater length. is that of speed. A longer cross-over may be taken at a. higher rate of speed All of the state witnesses agree that a No. 10 cross-over is perfectly safe if taken at a rate Of speed from 15 to 25 miles an hour. The principal expert for the state. an engineer of much practical experience. is of the opinion
