Witness has he'd 28 years of raiIroad

Witness has he'd 28 years of railroad seTNIce and had some Knowledge as to working of brakes. From experience he had learned that brake when thrown into emergency, and train breaks apart, the emergency still holds. He vas on the part of the train that broke away, and never reached the other part of the train that was attached to the locomotive The stop that he felt was probably caused by the break in the air connections. When WitncSs. got cut of the car he looked at head end cf the train and saw steam and smoke, and looked back and saw the dagman GU back with his red and white lights. He saw no fuzee on the track in the rear of his train and he probably would have seen i- if it were there ana lighted. He was CT dered to court by the division supe1in- etendHht. His train crew consisted of ba3Sa gemau. middleman and -fiagnan. He was in court on Thursday and Fri day.
 Have you been paid for service by the company during that tilne2' asked Mir. Fitzgerald. Mir. Phillips objected on the ground that it was of no con cern as to who was to pay the wit ness. AIr. Fitzgerald claimed it would show the trend of the feeling of the witness The. objection was sustained.
 Witness received notice to attend court when in New York last Tuesday and has not been at work since. He did not know whether he was to Fa- cetVe pay or not.
 By MT. Otis: He did not know of the working of the brakes. from personal examination or the night of the wreck He did not know whether the emer- gency or service brakes were applied. When a train slides a bright spot would show on the wheels. The aver age speed of the train from New York to Boston, but between Wood River Junction at Westerly the speed was from 55 to 60 mile an hour, and 59 miles an hour is the timetable speed at Shamrock curve, but he could not tell of the exact speed there on night of collision. There. was inspector on the train that night, but did not see inspector with the faglnan, nor did he see Q lighted fuzee. He' did not look at the home signal

At WesterIy the tower is eIectricaIly

Al Westerly the tower is electrically controlled and that of Bradford is the manual control type, being manipu- lated by the pulling of the levers by hand entirely. The wreck affected the working of the signals in the tower house, but did not interfere with the witness opening the switch signal to let the engine of 633 go out of the switch onto the main line, but gave no other signal, except perhaps the block signal.

He trusted McManus, but went to the tower through curiosity, to see what was going on, and was trying to learn something. There was nothing in his mind to indicate there was any thing wrong in the tower.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-09-26

Witness said towerman would be criticised if not giving the superior trains preference over inferior trains. Personally he did not know whether the unlock was given when the train was at a standstill or when on the move. No man is infallible and some times a mistake is made in the bell count, and sometimes a towerman is busy and may delay a train.
 Witness manipulated the levers on that night because he was quicker than McManus. There was no call for him to do duty. but he believed Nc McManus was at the operators table when witness entered the tower, the plunger is located near thereto, and the levers for the west bound train are on the opposite side of the room, Weatherby and French of 63S were about five feet from McManus. At that time, and before he entered Wes- terly had given Bradford the unlock, nor did he ask Westerly for an un- lock for 25. could use the 633 lock for 25 train. All signals are operated by levers, and motors. If train for any reason did not break connection at the

McClasky said that when he went irto the tower he looked over condi- tions not by pure curiosity, but for the best interests of himself. the men on duty and the company that employ ed him. If there was trouble he want ed to be on hand, as one man can han de the plant properly when there is trouble. Unlock was given to train p, when he entered the tower, and he was not worried

When cross questioned by Attorney Fitzgerald the witness said he was not specially interested in the case, al- though he was the man in the tower
Norwich bulletin., 1916-09-26

The witness said after train passed the tower the rules allowed train into block before another train enters, and when train goes by five hundred feet with current of traffic. Witness said he did not let 25 into the block. but McManus did, and the 633 train must have been moving, or McManus would not let train 25 into the block until the block was clear. He did not know just when 633 stopped, but he went into the tower. following the conduc- tor and engineer of 633. McManus was not operating and when witness en- tered he just looked around to see what was doing. He made no special investigation. He sent message to New London and received back the reply in regard to 633 being held on account of low steam. at the request of Mo Manus. Had Q message for 25 but not for 633, but did have a verbal message for the train. to go on sid ing.

Quality versus Quantity

Many housewives make vital mistake
i'll choosing some of their foodstuffs on
the basis of quantity.
1t has been proven time and again that
the cheapest is always the most eXpen-
sive, while the highest price is not al
ways the best.
There's a happy medium in everything.
When you select foods. be careful. Don
choose any particular brand Of say Bak-
ing Power for example, just because you
get big can for small price.
The risk you take in running your entire
baking and losing the cost of the mate
rails involved Is not anywhere equal to
the small amount saved on the price oil
the baking powder.
Then again. because the price is high
don't think the quality is the best. Some
women do. and they are losing money.
Look for the happy medium. You'll
find it. Choose a brand that costs &
moderate price and you'll find it NOR,
economical to buy and more economical
to use.
The best baking powder in the wort
can be made so as to sell for % cents
per pound.
