mediately after the accident by pas
sengers and officials showed it to be
wide open. Commissioner John
Trumbul1 and Supt. M. d. Miller, of
the Highland division examined the
locomotive and it's operating mechan-
ism.
Railroad officials claim that unless
the switch was wide open, the express
could not have left the main line
without derailing some of the passen-
ger coaches and that the engine could
not possibly have jumped the switch.
There is one feature of the accident
however, that they cannot explain,
and which may in some measure ac-
count for the accident. The signal
arm was not turned to show fully
either a red or green light, but was
turned only half way. showing half
red and half green.
Approaching a curve the view of
the signal light is never fully distinct
to an. engineer, a fact which may
have mislead the dead pilot Of the
Inflated express, causing him to be-
lieve that from his perspective, the
safety, light was showing, and he
ploughed along at the regular ex-
press train speed.

INSTANT DEATH
SAYS PHYSICIAN
Medical Examiner Finds
Both Badly Mangled, and :
Scalded as Well.

Engineer Lake and Fireman Slack
were almost instantly killed, accord
ing to DR.. Frank j. Tutt1e, medical
examiner for Naugatuck. Lakes
neck was broken and he sustained a
fracture Of the skull. Slack's skull
was fractured at its base, probably
by terrific impact against the side Of
the cab.
Pinioned In their seatsA they prob
ably would have been scalded to
death, DR.. futile thinks, had not
their other injuries been fatal DR..
futile, who was among the first to
arrive, climbed into the cab imme-
'diately after he got to the wreck. He
found that both men had been dead
for some time.
A CHASTITY light f1ickered over the
wreckage as the wooden caboose of
the freight train caught fire from the
locomotive f1rebox.. The light was
sufficient to bring out the gruesome
picture Of both enginemen dead at
their posts. The engineer was almost
in a sitting posture, his left hand
extended in the direction Of the brake
lever. The fireman had been whirled
around in his seat and his head
damned into the forward. corner OF
the cab window. Z.
The bodies were not removed from
the wreckage until midnight, two
hours after the arrival of the first
wrecking crew They were taken to
Lunny's undertaking establishment in
Waterbury.

Safety Appliance
Laws Violated, Is
Spellacy's Charge

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 2.-United
States District Attorney Thomas J.
Spel1acy, acting on information fur
nished by government agents, filed in
the federal court, here, today, COM
plant against the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad for viola
ton OF the federal safety appliance
law. There are six counts and the
government asks for an imposition of
$500 penalty on each count.
Allegations are that on August
at Midway the railroad company drew
up on its tracks box car on which
the coupling apparatus was out of
repair, that on the same date at the
same place the company drew up an
other car on which the hand brake
was out Of repair and the brake chain
broken, that on the same date and
also on August 8 the road drew up a
switching engine at Midway on which
foot boards were missing. The other
two counts complain Of another LOGO
motive at Midway having the same
defects on the dates mentioned.

Bethel, Conn.,, Dec. 2-when a
South Norwalk bound train on tho

forenoon passengers about to board

at the sight OF blood coated steps.
Nothing unusual had been noted by
the train crew or passengers during

to make a search and a mile and a

William G. Gr11ber, who lives in
Railroad avenue, Beacon Falls, direct

an eye witness to the heartrending
scenes which followed the immediate
crash. To a reporter for the Farmer

as if nothing had happened. The pas
sengers who had alighted from the
cars stood about as if they did not

happened. Two or three men were
