CONDUCTOR WENTWORTH NOT INDICTED.
Doubtless the case which has excited
the most widespread interest Of any to
be considered by this court was that OF
Albert G. Wentworth of Island Pond,
Vt. Mr.. Wentworth was conductor on
the east bound freight train which was
in collision with west bound train be-
tween West Bethel and Gileads on the
night of Dec. oath, when FIVE men were
either killed outright or fatally injured.
The public utilities commission placed
the direct responsibility for the accident
on Mr.. Wentworth, for sending the Or
ders by brakeman instead of delivering
them himself, and he was later bound
over to this term Of court.
No indictment was returned against
Wentworth by the grand jury. The fact
that no indictment was to be returned
leaked out Thursday night, about thirty
six hours before the grand jury reported.
The news travelled fast along the line Of
the Grand Trunk, among Mr.. Went
worth's railroad friends, and Was hailed
with special joy ct his home ct leland
Pond, where something of . celebration
was held.
