PROBE WRECK
OF 81" TRAIN
Guard Beams Rotten, Assert:
District Attorney

New York, June 26.-Seven dead
and more than eight injured was the
toll in the wreck on the Fifth ave
nue. Brooklyn elevated yesterday
when two coaches jumped the track
and plunged to the street from the
elevated structure. Six of those
killed were women. The men have
not been identified.
"What caused the train to leave
the track" is still mystery and
may remain So" said the District
Attorney in announcing his inten-
ton to pursue a grand jury investi-
CATION. But this much is certain.
The condition of the guard beams
laid for the purpose of keeping in
check derailed trains gives unmis-
taxable proof of culpabable negli-
gence in the upkeep of the road"
"Those beams were found to be
crumbling from dry rot. Portions
of them yielded to squeeze of the
hand"

This is your first thought, and a

that he once played a part with no

to wrest from the sorely pressed

however, was in the first act. In

at the last act, the fair-haired
