evidently not seen two stop signals set at Riverside and at Sulphur Springs. The clause in the verdict blaming Glenn read as follows:
 The persons killed in the wreck came to their death through the negligence of Engineer Matthew Glenn in failing to obey signals
 After the return Of the first ver- diet, in which the blame for the wreck was not placed. Coroner El- ders objected, and the change was made. The signals, which it was stated Glenn failed to see. would have indicated that there was a train ahead, and No. could then have been checked.
 Engineer Reading Orders.
 Train No. 32 had been stopped at Sulphur Springs but thirty-five seconds when the crash came. The only orders received by No. had been picked up six minutes before at Riverside, and these stated that il was to go on q siding at White house at 7:37 D. m. to permit the passing of the Sunshine Special from St. Louis. It is thought that Glenn was reading thesN orders when he passed the block signals unnoticed.
 No orders had been received con- corning No. 32, the testimony showed. and the signals were the only means of showing that the track was not clear sonth of White House.
 Train Two Hours Late
 Train No. 32 was about two hours late at Sulphur Springs It's last two cars, which were standing on the Glaize Creek trestle, were smashed to splinters and cast down to the deep bottom of the creek.
