Witness could net say how fast the train was travelling. As a rule the trains slowed up as they reached the crossing. The Engineer's Story. Hugh McEwen, engineer on the trai from the east, known. as No. 1 'with engie No. ' 244, was next called. "We came through the 'bend,' "' he spid, "and struck two fog signals. This was a signal to slacken speed, and look for sigrals. ahead. I slowed down the train, saw nothing ahead; and released my brake again. 1 saw the distant signal and the home siy- nal all right for me. [1 then whis- tled for the 'crossing at the whistle hoard. I ran up, and for extra précaution I whistled for 'the se- cond crossing. The firemen started to ring the bell. As soon as 1 whistled for. thes first crossing. The as rung continnously. until the neeidént happened. SAW no _ one approach the crossing till -immediate- ly: hefore the accident happened. 1 saw a dark object loom up in front of the engine and then heard the noise in front of the engine. 1 told the firewran to light the torch, as we had struck something. I applied the brake immediately after 1 heard the noise, and stopped the train ai quickly as possible, 1 took the torch and went to the front of the engine to see what was the matter. 1 found \ waggon crosswise in front of. the ingine. 1 saw an object" which I took lof a buttalo, 1 asked someone to see what it was and closer investiga- ticn revealed the fact that it was the body. of a man. 'There was some toal and sugar on the engine, which had evidently been in the waggon. "How fast were you running when you rede hed the fog signals 7 'About twenty-five miles an hour." "How long does it take to make the trip from Brockville to Kings- ton " "It takes one hour and twenty min- utes." This run forty- miles, with five stops. When witn released his brake, he did not think that the speed of the train was increased. When he blew the first whistle, he was going about twenty miles an hour. Witness said that he had run between Kingston and Brockville for about twenty-five yeurs, and for the past six years constantly. For three or four years he had been on 'No. 13," the local train which struck the rig. Witness could not see the rig, but could see the horses when they broke away. The rig was coming from the opposite side from iim, ond he could not see it. John Wesley Lloyd, 13," was sworn. 'We were approach- ing Kingston at the usual rate of speed, about twenty-five miles an hour, when we struck the fog signals. I grabbed the bell cord, and the gineer applied the brakes: came to the semaphore the green light, for "all right." The engineer blew the whistle at both crossings, and witness rang the hell. Witness supposed that they were going about twelve or fifteen miles an hour, when ghey struck some- thing, at the crossing. He thought the Scraper had struck the crossing. After the crash, the engineer told him to get his torch, as they had struck something. The witness then told of the finding of the body. Witness had been fireman on the road for ten years. He said he started to ring the bell after the fog ignals were reach- ¢d, and kept on ringing it until after the accident occurred. He did not see anything when the crossing 'was reached. The light the crossing Was not very good. was fireman on "No. en- when we © was a at Crossing Protection. William Nicholson, station master, the outér junction, was asked by coroner regarding protection at the crossing. He said that there was # flagman there from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. A flagman had been there for about fiiteen or sixteen years. There was no flagman there before that time that he knew of.. He had been placed there,' he 'understood, because there had been some complaints, but this was before his term of office, and he knew nothing of it. There was no watchman at night, and witness was given to understand, that it was not considered necessary, after the light had been placed there. The watchman was paid by the GTR. Never, to the knowledge of the witness, had there been a night watchman at this cross ing. at Other Witnesses. Thomas Francis, a farmer, was also called. He was at the scene of the accident. He noticed the train, which appeared to be going at the usual rate of speed. He did not hear the whistle, or the bell ringing. The first "blind" erossing, but witness said that this was not so. It was a public road. He knew this, as he was pathmaster for it. Robert Hewton Fair, farmer, called, grid that he knew nothing about the accident, but was asked by Mr. Whit- ing, regarding the crossing, over which he has often driven. There were six tracks at the crossing. He was fa- miliar with the scene, and would say that the lights along the track were quite confusing. - Witness had been travelling over the crossing one night when train 'No. 113" was due, and had found it very dangerous. It was impossible to hear the bells of an engine at this crossing. To Mr. Pope, witness said that he had never asked; to have a night Watchman placed 'at the crossing, and did not know of any 'other person who had asked that such steps he taken This concluded the evidence, tie cor oner stating that the evidence of Mrs. Spooner could not be taken, was still confined to the general pital. The case was then the hands of the jury. as she hos- given 'into Have Murder Suspect.
