BIZ United Press

By United Press
BOSTON, Oct. PA boy with an
inherited love of railroads disrupted
a plot to wreck the western *
press of the Boston & Albany rail-
road Monday night.
Edward j. Hogan, IA, of Brighton,
whose father has been a trainman

join his gang at a Charles river
wharf after supper. He discovered
seven ties heaped on the outbound
rails near Faneuil station, where
there is a twenty-foot embankment.
Edward, a husky youngster, hur-
ried to a site where excavating is
being done, seized a red lantern, and
placed in on the tracks about 100
feet from the ties. He then dashed
to a police box and sounded a citi-
zen's alarm. Police removed the ties
and the lantern and the train reared
by, it's crew and 300 passengers un-
aware of their narrow escape.
