He was informed that the matter o:
transferring the composite cars to the

The commission met as matter Of
form early in the morning TO adjourn the

would take to substitute steel Tor COM
posite cars. He answered that three car
manufacturers had told him some of the

The jury had no sooner received tn

sounds that indicated heated conflict o
opinions than Martin T.. Burke, of coun

THAT charge is a most glazing mass
of errors" shouted Mr.. Quackenbush. ut
was your intention to have this board
convicted by this jury, so that they could
be sent to prison. You should set aside
any verdict this jury might bring in. No
matter wha; they say you should set II
aside. Bring the jury back. You know
YOU have charge them Illegally. You
ought to be ashamed OF yourself
He accused the Coroner Of "wilful in
difference" in not calling to the attention
OF the jury evidence TO show that the
motors had been inspected two days be-
fore the accident
This shows that you are unfit. you
are disgrace to the State Of New York
The State OF New York won't permit this
proceeding. II is illegal. Your charge
was on civil not On a criminal basis.
You applied the civil, not the criminal
| law"
That the Coroner had Undoubtedly"
quoted the civil law, was also the opinion
of Mr. Burke.
When the jury returned and delivered
| their verdict Michael DAILY asked that the
verdict be set aside.
THE Interborough has had long run
| OF hard luck, very hard luck" he said.
He said the company expected officials to
deal with them with consideration and
moderation that they might straighten out
| the difficulties that seem to exist.
| 1t Is no pleasure to me to bring any
\ body within the ban OF the law" said
| Coroner Riordan in refusing to ct aside
| the verdict. "lt Is no pleasure to me TO
| be the agent in pulling down these re-
| spected and influential citizens from their
social pedestals. 1t is no pleasure TO me
to sit here and have placed on the records

Mr., Quackenbush banged his hand down
on the table and leaned forward toward
! the Coroner as he shouted
That is not the truth. Stick to the
truth"
"Do you dare to issue warrant he
asked.
NO. | don't think that is necessary
said the Coroner. Il hN bail at 5000

Later in his office, while he was still

he had been the centre, Coroner Rbordan

c. V. wilder. electrical engineer OF the
commission, said he had been informed
that deliveries can be completed within
ten months, whcreupln Commissioner
Williams made a motion that an order be
issued directing the company to begin the
substitutions by May | and have them
completed by December !. That brought

test against ''scrapping" the old cars.

Mr. Quackenbush then said that speak
Ing without definite instructions. he was
OF the opinion that the company would
not accept the order. In any event he
would move for rehearng and before the
formal order was issued he would like
TO Introduce expert testimony to show that
these composite cars are not dangerous
for subway operation.
why said Commissioner Maltbis,
you have the best proof In the world.
One Of the composite cars burned yea

II was at this point that Mr. Quacken-
bush announced that Mr.. Hedley and his
men have devised the short circuit scheme
which would make a FIRE impossible IN the
subway or on the elevated, according to
tests so far made.
1T will take a great deal Of testimony
to convince me that composite cars in the
subway are not dangerous" commented
Chairman Mccall. 81 am perfectly willing
to admit that the subway is one OF the
best managed roads in the country, II not
In the world, hut that docs not do away
with the fact that the operation of such
cars in the subway is dangerous"
There was further argument, but when
