BODIES ARE SENT TO

That the three victims Of the col

train Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail.
road at Leslie, near North East. Nd,
Sunday night, came to their death
by the jitney running into the engine
of the train was the verdict o. the
coroners jury which held an inquest
yesterday afternoon at Leslie under
the direction of Coroner William p.
Dean, of Elkton. Before the inquest
was begun the two victims, whose
identity until then was not known
here. were identified by relatives. Ac.
cording to the Identification those
killed are:
Elmer Gassaway, 81 years of age,
No. 240S Orleans street, Baltimore.
skull fractured and left arm broken.
Morris Fooks, No. 1913 Orleans
street, Baltimore, 20 years of age.
fracture of the skull and left leg
broken.
John Hand. 25 years of age. No.
1917 Aisquith street, Baltimore. frac-
, ture of the skull and right leg broken
in several places.
The body of Gassaway was taken to
the home of his parents early yester-
day morning from University Hospital,
Baltimore, where he was pronounced
dead. The bodies of Fooks and Hand
did not arrive in Baltimore until late
yesterday afternoon. All three of the
victims were chauffeurs, and while It
is known that they we're in the habit
of taking friends on excursions on
Sundays, none of their relatives can
state where they were Sunday night,
and whom they carried from Balti-
more to the neighborhood of North
East It is thought that they took a
fishing party to some place at Bohem-
ian Manor, and that the accident hap
pened on their return to Baltimore.
According to the testimony at the
inquest the jitney ran into the train
which was carrying a number of
Batlimoreans and Washingtonians
from New York to their homes. IL
was the excursion train which left
Baltimore Sunday morning shortly
after midnight and was returning in

HEADQUARTERS COPS
OVERWORKED These DAYS

With the increasing volume Of busi-
ness at the police station. the neces-
sity for additional herp there to as
sist the house sergeants is becoming
more apparent to those who have
business at police headquarters. That
the indoor officers are kept busy was
shown yesterday when the docket in
City Court contained the names Of
sixty prisoners.
Each has to be listed, recorded and
a history in detail kept of each pris-
oner. His effects are in charge of the
house sergeants. The warrants have to
be made out by him In most instances
and most of the subpoenas and bail
bonds, when such are required, are
issued by the house sergeants.
In addition the house sergeants have
to make out the weekly reports to
the police board Of the amount OF
money collected each week In fines
and COSTS also keep account OF the
cost of feeding the prisoners. They
have to make monthly reports OF the
arrests, as we'll as keep up to date
the police blotter.
These officers are the men TO whom
the general public generally goes fol
information, with complaints. for dog
licenses and many other things SC

business in police circles, II is said
the task has grown TO such proper.

two sections. Witnesses testified
that the jitney must have struck the
train as there we're no marks on the
pilot of the engine that would have
been there If the engine had struck
the jitney while II was crossing the
tracks. On the other hand several
witnesses testified that marks were
found on the driving rod of the en-
gine which could only have been
caused by some object colliding with
it. There was also some testimony
that the watchman at the crossing
leaves his box every evening at 8
o'clock, and that there was no one
present who could have warned the
men in the jitney of the approach
Of the train. While the jury gave a
verdict that the accident was caused
by the jitney running into the train
they did not place the responsibility
for the accident.
The authorities of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad issued state
ment yesterday afternoon which
states:
Following an investigation con-
Quoted by the railroad to determine
the cause. II was said that the acct
dent likely resulted from the automo-
bile colliding with the engine of the
train, as marks on the driving wheel
showed that the collision had occurred
at the side of the train instead of the
engine striking the machine on the
crossing. This belief is strengthen
ed by finding the wrecked machine
and victims within a few feet of the
crossing, while the train proceeded
several hundred feet before it was
brought to a stop. Another theory ad-
vanced for the accident was that the
noise of the automobile engine may
have prevented the men from hearing
the approaching train.
