ing on the opposite side of the track from MT. Cox and stated he did not think that MT. Cox would try to cross. When he saw that Cox intended to ond later the crash came. He said the engine whistle blew for two cross ings before the accident.
 E. B. Dickey said he saw the accident from a distance and saw the air full of dirt and dust. When he reached the scene he said, he saw parts Of the auto strewn down the track for seV- eral hundred feet. Mrs. Smith Beck said she was standing near the cross ing and heard the train whistle twice and then she saw MT. Cox driving along toward the crossing. Mrs. Beck said she wondered if he would try to make the crossing and said before she could yell the train had struck the car.
 Frank Woods, conductor in charge of the train, said he heard the crash, felt the emergency brakes taking hold on the wheels. When the train had stopped. he said, he got out and went to the engine, where he found the engineer and fireman trying to put out the blazing auto engine. The eng ineer he said, told him to go back and see if any one was hurt or killed.
 Car Literally Scattered
 MT. Woods said that as he walked
 
 crossing, he found parts of the auto mobile strewn along for several hun dred feet. The conductor said he took charge of the documents and letters which were picked up along the track and handed them to the coroner upon the latter's arrival at the scene. MT Woods said one of the letters was ad- dressed to MT. Cox and the pasteboard box which had evidently been shipped by express, he said, bore the name of NJ. GareSche.
 S. D. Landon, the engineer of the train, said th1t he did not see the car until the crash came and the air was full of flying glass and dirt. MT. Lan- don said that he whistled for the sta ton and two crossings before the acci- dent and said that the air bell was ringing at the time. The train, MT. Landon said, wars travelling about 3S or 40 miles an hour and had left Glendale at S.56 o'clock. Just before the auto was struck, Mr. Landon said, his fire man shouted something at him which he did not hear and a second later the crash came and he applied emergency brakes and the sand. The car, he said, was carried a distance of 10 telegraph poles down the track.
 The grease and gasoline from the auto, the engineer said, covered the rails and hampered the train in com ing to a rapid stop. After the stop. he said he and the fireman attempted to get the burning auto wreck from under the engine pilot MT. Landon said he instructed Woods to go back and see who was hurt or killed.
 Thought Auto Would Stop
 J. A. Bunyard, the fireman, said he saw MT. Cox driving along the tracks on Grand avenue and noticed him turning to take the grade crossing but thought from the slowness with which the car was travelling, MT. Cox intended to stop. Bunyard said he saw too late that the auto would not stop and had only time to yell at the engineer before the train struck. He said he thought he caught site of MT. Cox's face turned toward the engine just as the pilot struck the car.
 MT. Garesche, after viewing the re- mains of his son-i law, testified that he could positively identify it as that of MT. Cox.
