In response to queries from Mir. Phil lips the witness testified that he was called before a railroad official and the testimony before the interstate commerce commission was read to him before Superintendent Litchfield It was explained to the witness at that time that it was a physical impossibil- ity for the indication distant signal to be at green, but the witness held to his belief that the signal was at green. He did not remember when the con- versation took place, but he believed it was in June. There were no threats made that he would lose his job if he did not change his testimony. The witness was laid off for nine weeks and then returned to his work
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-17

The witness said he could not tes- tify without reference to his records, but he did not have his records when he first testified, and then it was a testimony of memory and not record. He said he had no record of the con- dition of signals, but he had a record of when he made inspection. He would report when a signal failed, but made no record of it. If westbound signal condition at Wood River failed to work properly witness would be liable to know it. If distant signal did not go back to caution, after train passes, it would be out of order and unusual. The witness was asked to look over his records ir regard to the examination of the signals in May June, July and April. His records will show inspections, he said, but not reports made 70 supervisor.
 Court adjourned to 10.30 Tuesday morning.

FOURTH WEEK OF WESTERLY TRIAL
Mansfield Case Resumed Monday-Fnenen Simeon King, Recalled Could Not Remember Positively About Certain Signal Lghts-Sgnal Mantainer Anderson Stand When Court Adjourned.

The fourth week of the trial Of Charles Mansfield, engineer of the Gilt Edge Express train, on two charges of manslaughter, in connection with Che railroad wreck at Bradford. began Monday. The day was taken up with the partial evidence of two witnesses. Fireman King. who was on the stand all day Friday was under cross -ex- animation during the greater part of Monday. and the final of his testimony bordered on the sensational. Sigried Maintner Anderson who testified for the state early in the trial and with much mdnuteness, succeeded MT. King and was on the stand when court ad- 1ourned. His direct examination will be resumed when court opens today (Tuesday1.
 Simeon King, fireman on the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road, who was in the engine of the Gilt Edge train on the night of the collision at Bradford, resumed his tes- t1mony on cross examination by As s1stant Attorney General Phillips when court resumed session on Monday morning. The witness said that some of the time while on the trip from Providence on the night of the wreck he could see the signals as he neared them, and called back the signals to the engineer. He could not tell how far off he could see the signals on that night. There was fog and mist, but not sufficient to prevent him from seeing the signals as he neared them. Aided by the evidence given before the interstate commerce commission, the witness was querted at length concerning the weather on that night. In none of that testimony did he re- fer to the fog, but the witness said he was not queried in relation to the Bradford signals when before the cor oner or interstate commission Mr. Fitzgerald objected to the form of questions being put by the witness and not allowing the witness to finish his answer. MT. Phillips continued and the court ruled that the inquiry proceed. MT. Fftzgera:d pleaded with the court that the witness be given a fair deal. He did not see any fog that interfer&d with his vision of the sig nal, but there might have been fog. He did not recollect whether he saw the first home signal clearly, and did not so testify before the interstate commerce commission, to that effect, for he never had it clear in his cWn mind that he saw the first home sig nal on that night. He saw the sec ond home signal and it was red, but he was not satisfied in regard to the first home signal. There was no req son for changing his evidence now from what he gave at other hearings. When witness heard the emergency brake applied he jumped upon his seat, and although he may have testi- fled that he saw the first home sig nal at red, that he was now fully sat isf1ed that he was mistaken on that point as 1t was not clear in his mind
 First he saw a red and white light on the ground and it was then when he saw the red light. and did not know where it was in reference to the first home signal He should say the red and white light of the fagman. was east of the home srgna1.

Fireman King resumed his testimony at the afternoon session, still under the cross examination by MT. Phillips. The witness said it was not his duty to operate the automatic bell in nearing the Bradford station. He had not talked with the lawyers or others in terested, or looked over any of his tes- timony since court adjourned last Fri day He saw the signals at Wood River on the night of the wreck and that his memory was good as to what he was doing at that time, as he was doing the same whenever making that

The first subject brought up when MT. King entered the superintendent office related to the Bradford wreck, and witness declined to talk unless MT. Paterson was present. He had not received pay for the nine weeks loss of time. His expense account was in regard to time spent at hearings in connection with this case.
 MT King was then excused after being on the witness stand nearly four hours on Monday.

George R. Anderson, who testified for the state, said he was maintainer of the section that included the Brad ford district including the distant signal, and he would know if the sig nals were not in good order. Was the WestbOund signal out of order in July of the present year at Wood River? asked MT. Fitzgerald. Mr. Phillips asked that the jury be excused and MT. Fitzgerald included the wILness. The judge asked what the Wood River distant signal had to do with this case. MT. Fitzgerald said it had been claimed that certain things could not be done with signals, and he wanted to show to the contrary. The Wood River tower was identical with that at Bradford. MT. Phillips could not remember whether the signals were the same at both places. The jury and witness were brought back to the court room and Mir. Fitzgerald asked witness: Is the distant signal at Brad ford and Wood River the same, semi automatic, and worked by a motor? !? MT. Anderson said Yes. The west bound distant signal was probably ex- amined by him in July, as 1t was his duty to examine them twice a month. He had no record to show that he had made the examination, and therefore could not tell positively. He might have sent an assistant to the distant signal Witness stated that when he testified in detail before he had no rec

 Fitzgerald interposed an objection in regard to the method of questions, and the court said there were too many objections raised. and told the attor- ney general to proceed. Mir F'itz- gerald later suggested that in read ing the testimony at the hearings the attorney general should not pick out parts of queries and answers, but per- init a complete answes; on all points.

On tE,e night of the wreck he had no conversation with Mir. Mansfield in regard to the signals, that he could remember. He could not recall any special talk of the distant signal. The only talk he had of the distant signal with Mir. Mansfield was when the en- gineer called High balP' and he an swered back High ball." The wit ness said of course he was interested in the position of the signals, as he was of the wreck. and all connected with it

After the collision he put out fire at the engineers seat by the aid of a syphon hose, but it was for a very short time, perhaps not over a min ute There was not much noise made by the engine. and the injector that caused the noise was shot off, when, he saw a man near the engine on the ground with his hand on the engin- eer's shoulder. MT. King said when he got off the engine there were two or three men talking to the engineer.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-17

The. judge said these interruptions were uncaIed for and ordered the att torney general to proceed. MT. F'itz- gerald took exceptions which were no ted. The court suggested a recess, but the attorney general continued his questioning. Again Mir Fitzgerald asked that the questions be connected, and not be given to the witness dis jointed. The attorneys waxed warm and MT. Fitzgerald demanded fair play, which terminated with the at torney general ceasing questioning Then recess was taken.

sHACKLEFORD TALKS

VALDEZ, March 28.-Judge E. D. Roiter came back to Valdez with a lit- tie political information which he picked up between Seattle and this seaport. In Juneau he saw Louis P. Shackleford, who talked with consid- erable freedom about plans for the Republican convention at Seward next month.
 Shackleford told Reiter that he ex- pected to nominate Wickersham for Delegate to Congress, giving out the necessary implication that he consid- cred that he will be in control of the convention. He said he would nomi- nate Wickersham because he consid- cred it good politics, as it would bring good many voters to the Republican party that could not otherwise be an .nexed.
 The same statement in substance was made by Mir. Shackleford to Judge John Lyons, who came through

SCHOOL
BLDG CHANGED
Grammar School No. l is
Moved to East Hill.
Change Will Be Benefit

That the high school now on 18th
avenue and Lee street, will be chang
ed to the building formerly occupied
by grammar school No. /, and the
grammar school moved to the high
school building on East Hill, was the
statement of Superintendent Edwards
of the board of public instruction.
The change was made, it was sta
ted, on account of the demand for
larger quarters for the high school
and the fact that the building on. East
Hill is not centrally located, and Is
announcement for children living in the
western part of the city.
Another point in favor of the
change, it was pointed out, is the fact
that while there is a grammar school
on the west side of the city; there
is none on the east side, and it has
been necessary for children to 90
either to the school number one, Of
to the Joseph B. Jockey School, eth.
er one of which offered a great diff.
ficulty to students living on Fas-
Hill. Under the new plan each sec
ton of the city will have a grammar
school and a centrally located higI
school will be convenient to both.

BANDITS STEAL HORSES
FROM MILITARY POST

San Antonio, July Capt. Leroy
Eltinge, with two troops of the
Eighth cavalry, crossed into Mexico
last night pursuing eight Mexican
bandits who raided the old post near
Fort Hancock, Texas, and stole some
government horses. After searching
the country on the Mexican side,
Captain Eltinge found the trail led
back to the Rio Grande lower down
and he recrossed later, but again to-
day he returned to the Mexican side.
1t was expected he would return late
tonight unless he found tangible evil
dence of the bandits trail. He was
instructed not to clash with Carranza
troops, if possible, and after his first
inqlrsion he reported he had not met
any troops.
All reports at Funston's head
quarters today indicated nothing
more exciting along the seventeen
hundred mile boundary, where Amer
lean and Mexican forces face each
other. than the firing of a few shots
between sentries at Nogales yester-
day. No one was injured by the
firing, but staff officers fear recur-
renee of such incidents may further
complicate the situation.
More than ten thousand guardsmen
are already at the border stations OF
within a few hours of reaching them
