on Cars Which Crashed

No responsibility for the fatal plan
tatt0 railroad accident at Waipahu
last Thursday night was fixed by the
c6rober's jury which yesterday after
noof held an inquest at Waipahu. The
jury, after listening to testimony con
corning the Oahu plantation accident,
found that the two men killed. and Is
injured received their hurts accident
aily. in a collision caused when two
cars, unattached, ran into train COM
ing up the hill, the latter having the
right of way.
Deputy Sheriff Jack Fernandez, who
conducted the inquest, told the Star
Bulletin over the telephone this after.
noon that the jury did not blame any
body in its verdict and added, in an
swer to questions that the men were
killed and hurt by their own careless
ness. ....-
In answer to further questions, he
said the testimony showed that the
cause of the accident was the action
of a Japanese luna in releasing the
brakes on the two standing cars. He
did this, said Fernandez, to take some
90 laborers, on the cars, down the hill.
though the train below was coming
Up to get them. This luna, he said,
has been in the employ of the COM
pany for 19 years, and he said the
same thing has been done previously.
He said that the luna was in charge
o. the cars and of the laborers on
them, and voluntarily released the
brakes. - ~
The released cars were going around
a dark curve, he also said. when
the other train came up, and an at
tempt was made to stop the down.
going cars but when the brakes were
set they continued to slide until the
collision occurred. The luna jumped
and was not hurt.
The formal verdict is to be sent to
Sheriff Rose tomorrow. - -
