COMPANY BLAMELESS
DEATH GEO. GARDINER

$50 far as the direct injury is con-
cerned, it appears to be clear that no
negligence of the railroad company or
Of it's employees contributed to it," say
the members of the Public Utilities
Commission in their decision on the
death of George Gardiner by being
struck by a freight train near Bridg-
ton Junction Feb. "a last, LAS to other
circumstances attending his presence
and departure from the earlier train
and his continued presence about the
railroad track in Il place of danger the
evidence as to his condition is not
sufficiently full to call for any criti-
cism or further comment
The commissioners say in their de-
cision:
George Gardiner. aged about 81
years, of Gludhall. VI. was struck by
extra freight No. $780, Maine Central
Railroad Co, Sebago Lake to Bartlett,
~ H., at about .7.35 p. NJ, Feb. "a, 1916,
and instantly Killed, his head being
severed from his body The accident
occurred at point about one-half
mile from Bridgton Junction.
THE engineers attention was call
ed to the presence Of the man when
the train rounded a curve about 9oO
feet distant. There first appeared to
be nothing but dark spot on the
track which the engineer thought was
caused by shoveling away snow by a
section man to SHIN the track; but
he quickly saw that it was something
else and applied the brakes III emerG-
ency. He went back as soon as the
train was stopped and found the head
between the rails under the second car
from the engine and the body out
side the rail four cars back from the
engine. The body was not bruised or
cut but the flesh of one arm below the
elbow was torn off.
| Near where the accident occurred
was an open suitcase containing a
quart bottle marked Grain Alcohoi'
which had not been opened, and near
the suit case the glass OF pottle
that had been broken all to pieces.
Marks in the snow indicated that the
man was lying near the suitcase ana
had been dragged from that place pS
the train. He had been assisted from

half miles east of West Kennebunk
on Sunday. Feb. 81, 1915, somewhere
around $50 o'clock in the forenoon, by
"a man and boy walking along the
track. They reported the discovery to
the Biddeford police department on
their arrival there, and after prelimi-
nary investigation information was
conveyed to the medical examiner. who
took charge at about noon. His ex-
animation disclosed an abrasion at
the back of the skull
"Moriarty had no connection with
the railroad company. and no eXpla-
nation of his presence at this point was
found. Investigation. which was made
by the chief inspector Of this depart
ment on the premises, failed to locate
anyone who had seen him either before
or at the time of the accident. Sur
rounding circumstances did not indi-
cate clearly that he had been riding
on a train or that he was struck by
one. The medical examiner advised
our representative that death was
probably due to exposure.
