After the accident the engine of train 633 was permitted to go to West erIy for nurses and doctors. He did not know when the engine left, as there was no record of it in the tower. It requires cooperation of two tower men to set signals at safety. If train between stations, the blocks cannot be open to admit of two trains in block without the united work of Bradford and Westerly towers. This is the rule and is strictly adhered to except in instances where there are special Or ders for one train to enter a block to assist another train. The two home signals must always be set first and could not be set in any other way by reason of the tnterlocking system, and it is impossible to make error in the application of the signals-it is me chanically impossible Witness talked with Engineer Mansfield shortly after the collision in front of the tower and the engineer said he had a clear sig nal and he said he saw the red light from the tower window and the rear end of 633 at the same time. He saw the wreck afire and the smoke at first went in the direction of Vars' drug store, and an hour later the wind changed.

Testimony Continued al Westerly
Trial of Engineer Charles H. Mansfield Monday in Superior Court-Defence Seeking to Prove Defective Not Properly Operated Signal With Careless Operation of Train-Coneluctor and Towerman Testify.

Before Judge Elmer RathbUn and a jury the trial was resumed Monday morning in the superior court for Washington county, in session at Westerly, of Charles H. Mansfield on two charges of nanslaughter in caus- ing the deaths of Miss Janet Clark and Mrs. Olivia Martell in connection with the railroad wreck at Bradford on the night of April IT, Mansfield was engineer of the Gilt Edge express known as train 25, that crashed into the New London local, known as train 6S3, at the Bradford station. Abbott Phillips and Fred J. Otis, first and second assistant attorney generals, re- speetiVely, represent the state, and the accused is being defended by Attorney John J. Fitzgerald of Pawcatuck law partner of former Governor Higgins, and who was counsel for accused in the celebrated Mohr murder case. John J. Dunn of Westerly is Attorney t1tZ- gerald's associate in this case The trial of the case commenced last " cd nesday and it is indicated that the line of defense will be defective or not properly operated signal system, and careless operation of the move ment of train 233 from the time 1t stopped east of the tower at Bradford and until it reached the Bradford sta ton, a few hundred feet to the west ward. It is claimed that if that train had compiled with the required regula- tions the wreck would not have oc- cured, even if the signal system was defective. It is expected that the trial will extend into next week.
 William J. Read, conductor Of the Gilt Edge train, No. 25, who was on the witness stand when court adjourn ed Saturday, was recalled. lie testi- fled on cross examination by MT Fitz- gerald that the emergency brake was applied just before reaching Bradford and that the brakes seemed not to hold and that the train seemed to slide He had been a conductor for 10 years and could tell when the brakes did not hold firm. He had experience enough to tell the action of brakes on the train, but the space was so short for the time the emergency brakes were set to the time of collision that there might be difficulty in deciding, but he believed his testimony to be correct. He was in the dining car at the time, and he heard an air brake part and set at emergency.
 MT. Otis objected to the line of queries on the ground that MT Read was not an expert on brakes.

Witness saw the signal was set for clear, to Westerly, and he then went to the tower. He thought the time was about 7.26, based or the block signal sheet and record made by Me Manus. The conductor and engineer were in the tower reporting low steam and NIcManus asked him to take message for New London which was for the conductor and engineer of train 25, the Gilt Edge. Objection was made to the reading of the message and at torney for state did not insist, but 1t was offered as evidence. MT. Fitzger- aid said the message had never been delivered and he did not know where it had been since. Witness said he wrote the message as it was received from New London. The message was received at 7.3Q and read: Make stops of 633 to New London for passengers" The message was never delivered. He testified he gave orders for 623 to stop at station and transfer passengers to 25. At that time the signals were set thusly: Westhound distant signal at normal against any train from Wood River Junction, as was the next, the

 ductor and engineer of 633 were in the tower at that time. The engine of 633 was then right at the tower and train was at standstil, and then proceedet
 to the station. As 633 was about t'
 stop at station witness saw 25 at dis

The engine of 25 plowed through the rear car of 633. He worked in the tower that night. but not those that govern ed the eastbound track, as the levers were plugged by the wreck. It was Impossible to move them, as the switch to the siding was open and the engine Of 632 was on the siding. These con ditions would hold the home and dis tant signals, which were set at danger.

Witness MccIaakey continued his testimony. when court resumed ses- sion in che afternoon and testified that when he entered the tower he found clear signals to Westerly, and there fore was able to open the switch for train 533. This could not have been done if signals were not at caution and danger to Wood River Junction.
 About one thousand feet west of the first home signal, he first saw the brakes applied. which was about 40O feet from the tower. or signal station. At this point, the witness wrote on the plan of the interior of the tower house, the si2nificance of the levers that control the signal system.

other two signals were set at proceed, when he first went into the tower. Wit ness set the diverging route from to ,, so that 633i could pull on to the side track Then 633 was at the tower and track was 125 feet distant, and ahead, and just west of the station.
 Witness then pulled the levers to normal, danger or stop, the signal that controls the block to the next station, which had to be done to let 633 on -sid1ng. After setting danger at home and distant signal, he set the dwarf signal to denote the siding was ready for 633. Then he could not see any thing, as everything was blocked after the accident. When he set first home signal and advance block was at nor mal, meaning caution and danger. He did not have to look cut and see signals as levers would indicate if not in working order.
