©JURY ADJOURNS N DEATH CASE UNTHL JULY 24 Mr. Whitman will be asked t0 pro-- duce correspondence between himself and the state highway engineers re-- garding construction of the proposed crossing, Deputy Coroner 2award Conrad stated, The jury, with Frank T. Fowler, ot Lake Villa, as foreman, went into the proposed crossing probe determined to solve two questions: how Bchoen-- feld had met death and why definite plans for the crossing had not been agreed upon, Whair enmnud ahiactive in the in-- Want to Hear from A. E. Whit-- man, Chief Engineer of Soo + _ Line, to Get Data. Inquest into the geaila ol man Schoenfeld, Antioch fruit dealer, who lost his life on the Boo line crossing between Antioch and Lake Villa July 15, opened Thursday night in Antioch and brought a request of ad-- journment so that the jury could meet A,. E. Whitman, chief engineer of the railroad July 24. W t l mm oa 2 22Lad iA neal agreed upon. Their second objective in the in-- vestigation brought, out the old con-- troversy on the crossing that involved the sstate, railroad and village _ of Lake Villa. State engineers testified to 'their communications, meetings. and con-- versations wita the ra¥way officiais, dating back almost three years and ending in June of 1924 when Mr. Whit-- man responded with a letter stating that the company was unable to car-- ry out the plans of the highway de-- partment. In that interval, from June until the time Schoenfeld met death, the state had been plannink their next move, and it was testified that the high-- way department had 'filed with the Comemrce Commission {or hearing, to force the railroad to show _ reasons why the overbead crossing, as plan-- ned, was not agreeable to them. | Previous to the direct refusal from Mr. Whitman to accept the plans of the state engineers both parties had entered into lengthy discussions on the best possible crossings and costs, and the division of cost. The railroad company had not agreed at any time, according to Charles Russell county superintendent of highways, to con-- struct the crossing. No lights, warning bells, or gates are at the crossing, Mr. Conrad de-- dared. He stated that testimony showed it to be highly travelled thor-- oughfare and exceedingly dangerous. Harry Wise, business associate of the dead, who made the trip from Chicago in the truck that was struck by the north bound flier, dectared that cars were along thfiroulu. The accident left his memtfory -- blurred. however. , , Wise testified that he had not heard the engine whistle,or noticed the approach of the train. '--It bad been just ten minutes earlier that he had -- transfered positions with BSchoenfeld, who took the death seat. Cook, the engneer, stated the train went through Lake Villa at 45 miles an hour and had increased its speed by five miles an hour by the time it reached the crossing. He stated that he whistled at the whist-- ling post, and once afterward. The train, seven cogches, stopped in its length after the crash. Funreal services for the .deceased were held Wednesday, July 16, in Ken-- ogha. Wise, who was a life lorg friend, of the victim, was not aiiowed to at--. tend the services through fear that he was not able to undergo the ordeal that would be presented to him. Mr. Whitman will be notified of the action of the jury in adjourning to meet him by letter. His home is Minneapolis. The inquest had been press agented as a possible scene of trouble with residents of that section of the coun-- ty demanding immediate protection from the railroad. The hearing was crowded by spectators who offered nothing disorderly through the taking of testimony. s Dr. and Mrs. A. M.
