GATEMAN M'CAUL
 ADMITS HE WAS
 AWAY FROM POST
Coroner Phelan Begins In quiry Into Death of Rich
 ard Nelson in Collision.

Gateman James McCaul frankly ad-
 mitted before Coroner J. J. Phelan
 today, that the gates at the North
 avenue crossing of the Berskshire
 division were open when the pay train came down last night and struck a motorcycle ridden by Richard Nelson of Sylvan Crest Trumbull, causing his death. He made this admission before the coroner at the inquest to- day after being cautioned by the cor oner he need not tell his story unless he wished to do so.
 McCaul said he did not desire coun- sel, and was anxious to tell his story. He said he is the night gateman at this crossing and has been for the last 10 months working previously at other crossings in the city. He said he came on duty about 6 o'clock last night and stayed for a few mo- ments. Then he was obliged to go to a toilet, and left his post, going to Eckart's brewery near by. He did not know the pay train was coming. It is an extra, and he had no reason to expect a train until the 6:SO from Bridgeport passed northbound. He came out of the brewery and reached his gate box as the train thundered by, and too late to save the man on the motorcycle. He said he did not hear either the whistle or bell of the train. He further said he has no assistant and at the time he left his post there was no one in sight he could call to take his place. Had he expected a train, he said, he would not have left his post, but he knew nothing of the extra train on the tracks.
 Nelson was riding a motorcycle eastward in North avenue about 6:1O o'clock, and was struck on the cross ing by a southbound train. He was almost instnatly killed.
 Coroner Phelan examined Police man William Jaggers, John Bowes, Sophia and Agnes Ponske, who were witnesses of the accident. All were agreed the gates were open at the time of the collision. Jaggers and Bowes marked the absence of the gateman after they heard the whistle of the train. The Ponske girls did not hear or see the train or rider, but were nearby and heard the crash.
 Coroner Phelan continued the in quiry until tomorrow morning to hear l the testimony of other witnesses, in cluding the members of the train | crew.

SMUGGLER FINED.
Brought Three Horses and Wagon from
Canada to Vermont

Burlington, Feb. 2S.-Judge Harland
B. Howe who presides over the February
term of United States district court,
fined one smuggler 1925 and two other
men 500 each for purchasing articles
Of clothing from soldiers in the United
States army.
Judge Howe stated in court in refer
ring to the smuggling case that the re-
spondent might 90 home and tell his
neighbors that the government would
prosecute to the fullest extent any
smuggling operations along the border
from this time on.
The man who was fined for smuggling
is Jules Coulomb who pleaded guilty
to bringing three horses and wagon
from Montreal into this country. 1t APP
pears that he bought farm in Vermont,
near the border, upon which he agreed
to pay Sl,400, paying part down. Ac-
cording to the evidence be brought in
the horses for the purpose of making
money. Besides the fine of 1925, without
costs, he was sentenced to one months
Imprisonment in Orleans county jail.
Morris Mazel, proprietor of second
hand store on North street, this city,
was fined 800 on his plea of guilty to
purchasing shirt valued at S2.3S of a
soldier.
The case against his wife for the same
offense was mol pressed at the suggestion
of the district attorney, Mr.. Billiard.
Another case again Mazel, that of buy
ing pair of army shoes, was also strick-
en- from the docket.
Myron Lash, another second hand
dealer, was fined the same amount for
buying two pairs of shoes belonging to
the government. II appears that the re-
spondent was only as intermediary in
the sale, but under the law just as guilty.
The court took into consideration the ar
gument of Attorney Hopkins, who rep
resented both respondents that both
were poor and that light sentence
would serve the public interest as much
as larger fine. The judge, however, in
dicated that there had been too much
buying and selling government property
around army posts and he wanted to
stop it.
