 Both General Manager J. B. Potter and Supt. Kibling said. that should an irregularity of this sort occur in actual operation, both motormen and conductors should call the dispatcher for orders. A rule to this effect was read from the company's rule book
 Robert Jagoe, chief motorman told Coroner Phelan that he had 1n- Ash street, Bridgeport, who was a passenger on the northbound car. This man told Jagoe that he saw M Motorman Sherman and Conductor Mills get off the car at Cooks turn out, and that he saw Sherman turn the key in the signal box.
