Boyd Paschall, 81 Hammond

road dining car waiter, was
fatally injured last sundy aft
ern0on when his clothing caught
in moving train from which
he was alighting and he was
dragged under the wheels. His
left side was badly crushed and
both legs were amputated.
Railroad officials said Paschall
was stepping off the Chicago
Special, Chicago to Boston train
Of the New York Central rail-
road, as the train moved out
Of the Huntington avenue sta
ton inbound. He was dragged
considerable distance and fin
ally was pulled under the wheels.
Taken to the City Hospital, he
was pronounced dead on arrival.
Friends say that Paschall, a
veteran railroad employee, had
been accustomed to leave from
the train at the Huntington ave-
nue. station because he could
reach home more easily from
there than from the South Sta
ton terminal.
Hospital authorities notified
his wife, Mrs. Anna Paschall at
her Hammond street home. Be-
fore she arrived at the hospital
Paschall had died from his in
