neer Alonzo Sargent of the dead

Gated this morning with the open

In an interview Chas. 7. McFad-
den told a United Press reporter
that Engineer Sargent was asleep
Tor mile and half before the
collision.
ALL WARNING SIGNALS USED
Testimony of Sargent's fireman.
Gustav Klaus. supported the state
ments of the conductor and head
brakeman of the circus train into
which the empty troop special
crashed, that every available
means of warning was used. That
Engineer Sargent was asleep at the
throttle or wasn't in he cab at all
is the only reasonable theory so
tar advanced. Tomorrow morning,
attorneys for the Michigan Central
