 He substantiated the statement of Joe Cook, operator of the 56 levers in the tower, that the signals were set against the Michigan Central train and exonerated Cook of any blame for the disaster.

HEAR BOTH BELLS

 Because of the mass of switches, de tours and the intersection, both us. must be on our toes all the time, anu We were last night. Far down each track is an appliance which rings d bell in the tower when a train hits it. Last night when We heard the
 bell we saw it was the New York Cen tral About 30 seconds later the Mich | igan Central bell rang. Joe set the signals against the Michigan Central and opened the track for the New York Central. We sat peering down the New York Central tracks, watching the headlight gradually grow larger and larger We hadn't noticed the Michi gan Central .sThe New York Central engine gradually grew larger and larger nnd finally it's outlines were plainly visible. Suddenly l heard Joe shout:
 "'My God. Charley; the M. O., k coming through the block. "I can still hear that shouted warning. l turned quickly to the right and there, nOr 15O feet away. was the Michigan Central, No. 20, l crashing down at 8N miles an hour. It was so close | could sec the spaces between the fender bar. Joe jumped for the door and jumped after him.
 "We heard terrific grinding smash. There was a hiss of steam. brilliant. red glare lighted up the tower and our little building shook all over. The crashing of giass-- the tower windows breaking-tin- l gied in my ears and the tower con- tinued to rock.

 Later few seconds later, l suppose , Joe got up and dashed down stairs. followed him.
 RAN TWO MILES "When l reached the ground Joe
 was running full speed up the road to Chesterton, two miles away. I am told ! that he never stopped until he reached there, although several persons tried 70 halt him.
 q went down to the wreckage. The conductor of one of the trains came up and tried to ask me som ething. lie
