land Authorities Responsible
for MonoCacy Disaster.
Special Dispatch to The star.


FREDERICK, Md, July "a cor
oner's Jury yesterday attributed the COL
lapse Of the bridge over the Monocacy
River on June 10 to the overlooking of
the structure in its weakened condition
while repairs were being made and to
the State authorities Tor not having
taken proper precaution against over
loading. The bridge collapse resulted
in the death of three persons and the
injury of seven others.
The verdict was returned after a

sulting engineer, and brief testimony

mony of Walter C. Hopkins, a state

overlooking Of said bridge In its weak
ened condition at the time repairs were
being made and the proper precautions
not having been taken by the State au-
thorities to prevent excessive overlooking
Of said bridge"

was that IL men were working on
the bridge when it went down. About

diately followed. The truck and its con-
