dence he based a personal belief
that sabotage was involved.
Testimony yesterday h W
that the train had developed brake
trouble at Kingston, R. |. 1t was
repaired there but not reported to
the new crew which took over the
train at New York City and
brought it 10 Washington.
! Adleburt Schroeder, assistant
general counsel of the railroad
testified ''it seems very plainable
that the Kingston failure resulted
from tampering with the brakes at
Boston just before the trip started.
j. w. Meyer, fireman on the train,
said it would be my idea" that
there had heen tampering with the
brakes at Baltimore-the last stop
the train made before Washington.
One announced objective of the
inquiry is to determine whether
railroads should be required to
equip their trains with new safety
devices including e. e ctronic
brakes. Tobey indicated he is 60
ing to press for action on a bill
to do so.
