Mrs, Jos, Peel and Mrs. Ronald eel were in Toronto one day last Another interesting aspect of the case was presented however, by Arthur Roebuck, K.C., who appear. ing on behalf of the freight engin. eer, J. L. Bradford, brought for- ward the fact that freight train was overloaded by some 500 tons, The regulation load, it was testified, is 2,000 tons, though a slightly larger load is allowed, Mr, Roebuck ob- tained from one of the brakemen the opinion that with anything ov- er an 1,800 ton load it was impos- sible for the freight t oback up the grade and thus remedy the sit- uation occasioned by the over-run- ning of the switch, Bradford himself is still unable to appear together with Fireman R. Post, of the passenger train, These two witnesses are necessary to the inquiry and for the purpose of hear- ing them the inquest tonight was adjourned until January 9th, 1028, In the meantime, however, Crown-Attorney U, M, Wilson was able today to call the majority of the witnesses including the fireman and brakeman of the freight, The general superintendent of the On- tario division, M. McMillian, Toron- to, and station agents from the distriet surrounding Dockrill, This evidence established the fact that the train crew had no definite orders to stop at the Lens siding on the afternoon of the wreck. They had been instructed that the flier was late and there had been agreement among them that there was sufficient time to reach Dockrill and still allow the specified five minutes' clearing be- fore the flier could arrive. Bot hthe coroner, Dr, G. H, Cow- ans, and Mr, Roebuck questioned this method of allowing freight trains to judge their own schédules, but the general superintendent stressed the fact that the trains were run on a combination of time- table train times which had been established as the most efficient in existence, Easily Prevented Mr. Grout declared that the wreck could guite easily have been prevented had the freight crew fol- lowed the ergulations and imme- diately sent out the brakeman to signal the oncoming flier, The other important point on which the superintendent voiced the official opinion of the company was the over-running of the Dock- rill switch for which he declared there was "no justification." The story of the wreck itself as given through the evidence show. ed that the freight train had re- ceived orders at Lens that train 19, the Montreal flier, was ten minutes late at Crow Lake, 23 miles from Lens, and had gone on to the Dock- rill siding. Engineer Bradford, it was testified, had misjudged the ~rade and the load, and in spite of % 4 he application of emergency brake, 3 ' in this connection, Mr. Grout point- : re . 1 out the regulations were specif- > on the down grade the train ~3 supposed to stop dead in or- or to allo wthe brakeman to turn e switch and get 20 feet clear »! the track. Having done this an 'tempt was made to get the mext ritch with five cars, and had met the on-coming passenger train, tra- velling at about sixty miles an hour, The freight at the time, it was estimated, was running at about 30 miles an hour, Crowd of Curious Spectators Two weeks ago some three miles from this town, one of the great tragedies in the annals of Canadian railways was enacted and today as the spotlight of official inquiry re- ~alled again the scenes of horror, the little community hall was pack- ed with curious spectators.
