Thursday was the fifteenth day of the trial of Charles H. Mansfield, on two charges of manslaughter in con- nection with the railroad wreck at Bradford. ...,..=.s-.-.s..
 Denis FIavin, of Bridgeport, a for ploy of the New Haven road, resumed his testimony and stated that the gravity boxes in the Wood River tower faced to the front. the same as in the tower at Attleboro. Objection was form of questioning and he argued that witness did not know of the con- Struction of gravity boxes. as he mad previously testified, but the court per mitted MT. Fitzgerald to continue his question. The witness testified he was able to kick the gravity box at Attleboro and secure an unlock. Ob- lection was raised by MT. Phillips and the answer was ordered stricken out
 By Mir Phil1ips-Witness said he was discharged for leaving the tower, and not for intoxicatien. He said he had 10 desire to injure the New Ha- ven road, but proposed to tell the truth He was discharged by Train Dispatcher W. D. Miller. he said.
 Frank H. Field was sworn and tes- tified that he was a locomotive engi- neer and resided in Boston and was now in the passenger service of the New Haven road and ran the 602 and 623 trains, the 623 from Providence to Westerly. He had been an engineer for r years. He made the trip from Providence on the evening of the wreck at Bra dford, this being the train that preceded the New London local. 633. When he arrived at the Bradford dis tant signal it was dark. and between the signal and the station it was quite foggy. After passing the distant sig nal he could not see the first home The rails were slippery and he used sand. He noted the rails were slip pery in coming out of Providence and especially at stops along the line. He picked up the distant signal at Brad ford a reasonable distance away, but not as far away as on ordinary occa- sions and under better atmospheric conditions. After passing the Brad ford distant signal: the condition to the station weatherwise were worse than anywhere else along the line.
 On cross examination by MT. Phil lbs, witness said he could not state definitely just where he was when he first saw the dis ant sftrna1-Ibut he raw it in ample time to pie it up. There was some fog at Kingston swamp. but it was thicker at Bradford He saw the first home about midway distant between the distant signal. It is not common to use sand in making a stop, but only when the rails arc slir7ery. It was not essential to use sand during a rain storm. He did not entirely depend upon sand for making stops. but reduced speed as well as use sand when the rails wore slippery He did not run by any of the stations on that night.

Witness looked for brakeman to tell him that the signals were wrong. He told his father what he saw that night, and through his father he be- came a witness and came to court vol untarily. He never saw Mr. Mans field until he saw him in court and there was no relationship between thcm After witness saw the local come onto the main line, with signal at clear. he became worried and won- dered what would happen if the Mer- chants limited came to a stop before another signal was reached. The night was hay and foggy in spots, but not enough to obstruct his vision, nor was there smoke sufficient to in terfere with his views

He said he was not familiar with the location of the signals, but he did know when signals are at clear or

danger, and every signal between Kingston and Westerly was at clear that night. He knew that trains fol- lows trains on the road. but he was worried, that as as matter of specu- lation, as to what might happen if the tRain he was on should stop, and the local with 9 clear way should bump into it. MT. Beeman said he wrote to President Elliott in regard to these signals, perhaps two or three weeks later and received a promp reply He did not have the letter with him that he received from President Elliott, nor the copy of the letter he sent Presi- dent Elliott, but he would have them when he returned to Chicago and could see his stenographer.
 Ernest SkeIton, of Norwood, teIe- graph operator in the tower at Hillsgrove, toWerman, testified that there are six control levers, three east and three west, and the levers are me- chanicalIy locked. By placing the levers at neutral the signals will be at danger, and he told of the regular working of the signals. Home and starter must be at proceed to get the distant signal at clear. The cabi- nets at Fillsgrove had failed to oper- ate.
 Attorney Phillips objected to exam ination into the tower at Hillsgrove and the signal system is not the same as at Bradford. MT. Fitzgerald claimed that the working of the levers were the same, in regard to the me mechanical lock. It has been claim ed that certain things cannot be done at these towers and he wanted to show that these things can be done The mechanical lock at Bradford and Hills grove are identical. It has been claim ed that the distant signal cannot be worked without handling the other levers in predetermined order, and he proposes to show that it can be done.

The deposition of Lora E. Beeman was read by Mrs. Pryor, the court stenographer. MT. Beeman is a resi- dent of Chicago and his parents re- side in Prov:S once. He was passeng- CT on the Merchants Limited train on the night of the wreck. He stood on the rear platform of the rear car from Providence to Westerly. At King ston he passed a train on the siding, and when the Merchants went by the train pulled out onto the main line behind He said he had travelled on trains all over the United States and between Providence and New York perhaps a dozen times a year. He noticed the signals on the night of the wreck after passing Kingston, as was his custom. On the night of the wreck he saw the local pull onto the main. at Kingston, with the sig nal set at &ear. and all signals were at clear to Westerly and he did not see enc of them go back to danger. He learlied of the wreck after he had reached New York, and all came vivid ly to his mind.

Michael J. Deadly was the first wit ness called at the afternoon session. He testified that he was druggist, night of the wreck he went to Brad ford In an automobile. between and 3 o'clock. It was moist all the way and quite foggy and the same condf- tions prevailed at Bradford. With nil him were Martin H. Spellman. Leo Higgins, and Messrs. Bannon and James. MT. Phillips objected to this line of testimony as it did not determ inc whether fog prevailed at Brad ford at the time of the wreck. MT. Fitzgerald stated that MT. Field had ford just before the wreck and this testimony would show the general weather conditions of that night. It was quite misty before leaving Vest erly, and on the way to Bradford the fog was very thick at intervals, so much so that it was difficult for the operator to keep the automobile in the road.
 By MT. Phi1lips-Mr Deadly said the automobile was going quite fast, and that the machine went off the road little near the Woody Hill road. He arrived at Bradford before nine o'clock. He did not notice the condition of the signals to see whether they were obscured by the weather conditions. It was so foggy he could not see the turn in the road at Woody Hill.
 c. Leo Higgins, druggist, the next witness testified in substance the same as did MT. Deadly; as to the weather conditions. The weather was haZy and foggv and at Bradford there seemed to be fog banks. There were lights on the automobile which was owned and oDerated by Martin H. Spellman. The automobile was not run fast by reason of the weather con- ditions, and did not think the machine traveled over twenty miles an hour.
