Moore, witness, told in vivid and
circumstanial way at the ecclesias-

grew into tragedy"

talked, explaining that the incident
caused the failure of an aim which
she had long been trying to fulfill

A switch engine was sent across the
bridge to determine whether the struc-
ture would hold the fast passenger

safe and the limited was ordered to
proceed.
The train crept out on the bridge
slowly and when about one hundred
feet out upon the structure two OF the
spans gave way beneath the weight Of
the train.
