Samuel Newman, signal foreman, testified that he went to Bradford on the night of the wreck, about 114O, and he found the levers at normal. The next day, Tuesday, he went into the tower to relieve George Anderson, who was watching the levers and re- mained there until 10.30, when the levers were at normal, and no one was permitted to touch them.
 By MT. Fftzgerald-At that time he was foreman signalman. He had been at work all day, and when he heard of the wreck he came to Bradford from Providence on the wrecking train He had planned that night to make an inspection of the signals, but aban- doned the trip when he learned of the wreck. The wrecking train stopped at the distant signal and witness walked to the tower. There were sev- eral in the tower and the only ones he knew were Towermen McClusky and McManus. After relieving Anderson, he remained on duty until called to the inquest. He had no sleep on the night of the wreck or the day after
 Court adjourned to 10.30 Wednesday morning.

LIBERTY Is Real Long
 Cut Tobacco, Men!

LIBERTY is made from ripe, selected long leaves.
 You know this is true because you find only long, silky shreds of tobacco in LIBERTY.
 You do not find loose, hard stems or short cuts in LIBERTY - no short leaves, broken leaf or hard stems are used in making LIBERTY.
 That's why LIBERTY is always slow burning and cool smoking in a pipe-why it holds together and lasts in chew-and gives all round man-size enjoyment.

Michael Cullen, of South Boston, an air brake inspector, testified that train 25 brakes were tested by him on the afternoon of the night of the accident He was assisted in the work by Thom- as Gallagher.

Maurice w. Flynn, president of the Westerly town council and an open candidate for nomination for member of the Rhode Island general assembly, from the second representative dis trict of the town, has received the en- dorsement of the district town com mittee for the nomination. After the nomination the election in Westerly is simply a legal formality for republi- cans, or democrats in comparison are almost as scarce as eels' feet. Of the members of the wing of the party who preferred Samuel H. Davis to MT. Flynn and who always advocated support of all candidates endorsed by a majority of the town committee, only practice what they preach. MT. Flynn will be nominated without opposition. He is a thorough business man, a res ident of Westerly since childhood and always active in all that pertains to the best interests of the town. He has served several terms in the town council and was elected president of the council, by his associates, upon the organization of the present council.

The cross examination of Mir. Nich- olson, by Attorney Fitzgerald was re- sumed at the afternoon session. Wit ness testified that on his trip back to the signal he saw no fuzees burning He saw no signals from the f7ssgm1n of 633. He heard no torpedoes while on the Gilt Edge and he never heard any while on passenger train. The same system of signals prevails between New Haven and Providence and the locking in general and the operation of levers are the same. The unlock is effective in permitting the advance signal to be unlocked, and the working of the other levers in order irrespec- tive of the position of the signals. The unlock unlocks the latch of the start ing lever by electricity and the other levers may then be manipulated manu- ally; In order to give train 63S a clear to Bradford an unlock must be received at Wood River, and the same must be given to 25 As west bound train passes Shamrock an- nouncement is made, and at the same time Wood River gives the unlock, if going through Wood River finds a clear, it means go ahead at regular speed, and means the unlock had been received at Wood River. After the passage of a train from the proceed signal, beyond two rail lengths, which rt1 . OOldSd, ctIlu LIId OISldnI S1SndI, the train of itself cannot interfere with the work at the tower. There is no protection for that train until the first home signal is reached. The distant signal cannot be at caution and the other signals clear. The signals are supposed to be operated in a normal way and towermen are not supposed to be tricky, and the use of signals in a wrong way is contrary to rules and is not reported. The unlock is west of the Wood River tower and if any, thing that is done out of the ordinary, it must be done in that tower, insoe far as the distant signal is concerned A person having access to the gravity box can manipulate the distant sig nal irrespective of other conditions Like conditions prevail in regard to the starter signal and in a similar manner the towermen could secure an I1,o10
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-04

Attorney Fitzgerald then put a hy- potheticaI question covering the &C., ton of trains between Bradford and Wood River, just as it occurred. but based on an abnormal unlock sup posed to have been received at Wood River. He recited all the movements of trains 25 and 633 on the night of the wreck and asked if such could not have happened. provided the author ity of manipulation had been abnor- mally received, and cited the operator at Bradford as the manipu1ator. To could be done. under abnormal condi- tions.
 Joseph w. Austin, the next witness, testified he was resident of Alton, near Wood River Junction. and rail- road lampman between Wood River and Bradford. He filled and cleaned the signal lamps every four days, and oftener if they needed it. He looked at the lamps daily. He cleaned the lamps at Bradford on the afternoon of the evening before the wreck. He found the lamps in good condition and left them in good condition.
 By MT. FftzgeraId-The witness said he cleaned the lamps and the glass in the lamps was white. He cleaned the lamps on Wednesdays and Thursdays. There were thirty-six lamps in all He climbed the poles every day, trim med the lamps and looked them over. He knew Towerman Ross, who lived at Wood River Junction at the time of the wreck. but he did not live fhere
