The Port Sydney stage was leaving and there was freight for it- Mr. Litcheld was very busy and had been helping with the freight to accommodate the public. Of course the regulations of the road require that train orders receive first attention, yet the fact was that his client was obliging the public. What would the '-people the office and remained there saying he had an order to attend to? Mr. Litcheld had putup his order'board and had then put it down to let the southbound pas- senger train pass and then he had been busy and had forgotten to put the board up again. Later the conductor gave the proceed signal. This signal is the same to goahead 100 yards as it is to clear forpthe next station. Mr. Litcheld thought that the care- fu`l conductor was merely going as far as the north switch until he heard the engineer put on steam. Then Mr. Litcheld did everything possible to stop the train but without success. Mr. Litcheld had `always been a painstaking young man. He had| spent ve or six years with the` railroad and this was his rst usually for the sake of example. There was no need for that here. The trainmaster had. said that Mr. Litcheld was as good as the average`. He wished to congrat- ulate the railway on the careful- ness of its -employees if Mr. Litcheld was no better than the average; How could it be an ex- ample to punish these two men? To punish. them would be like going into the street and taking two innocent men and hanging them merely to show the public `what hanging `meant in order to scare the people. Both prisoners had given straightforward evi_ dence. They had tried to do their best but were not infallible a.nd in this one case had failed.
