J .- Peck, (\ilandale,- met his death, was the verdict of _the coroner's jury which inves- tigated the circumstances in Lindsay last week. From theWatchman-Warden's re: port, the followingis taken. " ' ` Passenger Engineer's Story Engineer McCabe of the passenger train, employed by the railway for 34 years, the past 25 years -as engineer, testified as fol- y lows :--Our train left Reaboro at 6.14 on , time and though on time at Santiago we figured to lose time from there on account of the fog. Ifirst `saw danger when I saw ` the engine about a train length ahead of y me. "Had the night `been clear I would < have seen it sooner. I received no warn- ing of danger; when I saw engine I put on * brakes and emergency, but they just caught ' as we struck. We were t_ravelling at about i about 1000 feet to stop. The responsibility II of a train rests on the conductor. with the I engineer equally responsible, the authority 1 of the conductor being paramount. 1 Difficulty in Coupling" ` The engineer on the freight train, who I has been employed on the system since i 1909 and as engineer since 1913, gave evi- , dance as follows :-I knew the fireman, , Peck, only for a short time. On Nov.~13 , I was glrunning on freight train from Belle- 1 ville to Lindsay. I arrived at west switch '1 at Santiago at6.09, the caboose hadbeen 1 cut off, `and after backingthe cars on the I siding and pushing the caboose by hand by the end of the switeh,. I got on engine andwent to` couple on_ the caboose, and come, on into Lindsay. I missed coupling . twice and -the brakernan was in the act of making some adjustments` andI was wait~ mg for his signal that coupling was O.K. Suddenly I` heard the exhaust of an engine.` I turned, saw the headlight of engine break- ` ing through the fog 20 or 25 yards behind. ( "I 5 I 1 i l 5 e _ 1 l lf e x s l i e s c t x t c v my right leg out of `window and reached for whistle cord to warn rest of crew, but I didn t have time before the crash came. Fireman Peck, I think, saw the train about -the same time as I did, we both yelled at about the same time. .I hadn t looked at my watch since` 6.09`. (-Asked is he was clear of track atT6.14, the regulation time. the said he didn't think he was.) I could not get in at east end as there were too many cars. I could have backed whole caboose was cut off. I saw one brakeman only. and I thought the other wasgflagging out a flagman if I think necessary. "I didn t see Peck jump, but I expected he'd jump out of `window instead of- through I had had no difficulty getting on siding, nor I didn t have to back in slowly. |Death Almost Instantaneous" . Dr. White, C.N.'R. physician, told of at- He found the trunk of his body in the region of hip badly crushed and almost severing the `body in two. and several bones of the body broken. Death was well nigh instantaneous. ` . Set out Signals Conductor Hoover, in charge of the freight train, 21 years in service,_ 15 years as conductor, said-: I took precaution-, ary `measures by throwing out a yellow fusee at Cu'nningham sjcorner, another a little farther down the line, and a little farther on a red fusee. A yellow fusee is a sign of caution, Aa redifusee is ai stop signal. `The last fusee' was put out about 6.08. It should burn about 10 minutes. I should judge accident occurred about 67.19. I thought I was `sufficiently protected by the fusees I had thrown out. It is the duty of the brakeman to flag train if he thinks nec- essary, but I told Penny I thought we had lots of time, -and a brakeman generally takes orders from a. conductor. I never thought 95 was close to us` or that we were in any danger. I don't knowawhether there was any light on the rear of tender or not. ` nann `vnnvnlmuoa 4.: L]...

It was the duty of the law to protect the property ' ` of the farmer. ` He regretted very much- that he found it necessary to make a conviction in this case.
