Hid Signal, Says
Wreck Engineer
Sow Caution Light,
But Not Red Sign,
States Attorney Told

(See Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
Engineer Raymond r. McClel-
land of Baltimore, who faces a
technical charge of manslaugh-
ter in connection with the crash
of three Baltimore g. Ohio trains
near Dickerson, Md, yesterday,
told Montgomery County States
Attorney Ben G. Wilkinson that
he did not see a red danger sig
nal because Of fog and smoke
from the freight train involved
in the crash, it was disclosed to-
day.
According to transcript of the
story the engineer gave to Mr.. Will
kinson yesterday in Rockville, he
said that he passed a green safety
signal about two miles from the
scene of the wreck. His next signal,
he said showed yellow, and he
eased the throttle and applied the
brakes. He said the next signal he
saw was the series of red fuses
planted" by the flagman of the
Cleveland express, who was killed
In the accident. Mr.. McClelland
testified he also heard the warning
explosion OF the torpedo which the
fiagman had applied to the track.
Applied Emergency Brakes.
At this point, he said, he instantly
applied the emergency brakes.
He said 1t was not until IS or
20 seconds after he saw the flag
mans fuses that the red warning
light became visable.
"T11e freight train was passing"
he said, "and because Of the smoke
coming down I did not see the
signal"
The engineer said he was in the
habit of following the Cleveland
Express every other day, under the
same conditions up that hill under
q yellow 0he warning Light"
Grew members Of the three trains
involved in the crash were to be
interviewed by Mr.. Wilkinson in
his ONCE at the Rockville Court
house late today In the hope that
they could supply further details
Of the events leading up to the
catastrophe.
The engineer Of the Ambassador
told the States attorney he was
going about 40 miles an hour when
he saw the red fuses.
In One Other Wreck.
Mr.. Wilkinson asked him If he
had been expecting the usual yellow
light instead of the red one that
glowed at point just short dis
tance ahead Of where the first train
was starting up, after 1t had stop
ped for repairs.
Il have been on the railroad Il
years and an engineer 81" Mr..
AcClelland replied graphically.
He said that he had been In one
other wreck during his long career

Of President Taft's Inauguration, he
said, when an engine jumped the
tracks at Relay, Md.
The Brazilian Embassy here today
disclosed that Clay P. Ameral, who
died in the wreckage after a priest
had administered the last rites, was
on private mission in this country
for the important Matarazzo in
terests, which control flour and tex
tile mills and other enterprises. He
had been in this country several
months, 1t was said, and was nego-
tiating for the purchase Of rolling
mill equipment.
- Mr.. Ameral, said to have been
about IS years old, was an engineer
whose residence was in Sac Paulo,
Brazil.
The Embassy also said A. Tleury

carry an acid into the skin. This
acid is poisonous in a small way,
but most kinds of stinging nettles
do not cause much damage; there is
a little pain but it goes away before
long.
The worst stinging nettles grow
in the torrid zone One kind on the
island of Timor is called the Devils
Leaf, and causes pain which may
last several days.
Another tropical nettle is found
on various islands of the Dutch East
Indies. When person touches it,
he at first feels tingling at his
finger tips. but no more. The real
pain starts about an hour later,
and it has been compared to the
soaring of red-hot iron. The hand
swells and the pain runs up the
arm. Cases have been reported of
the pain lasting for eight days, but
the worst of it is over at the end of
single day.
Nettle trees of great size grow in
Australia, chiefly in the part called
New South Wales. These trees
sometimes grow to height of more
than 100 feet. When they are
young their leaves have stinging
nettles which it is we'll for man AID
