would do so.

The investigation of_ the ties and
the track construction began in front
of the station and continued down to
the crossover where the wrecb oc‘
curred. At the start. Mr.‘ Sharon
pointed to a dozen ties under track

ties were the ones he had reference
to, that it did not need an expert to
detcrmlne whether they were spoon
or not, as ordinary observation was
sufficient. The ties that he pointed
to bore the lines and splits caused by
exposure to all kinds of weather. To
prove that the life had gone out of
the wood, Mr. Everett stooped down
and pulled off pieces of the tie, which
he handed to the coroner, asking him
if he wanted any more proof. 1

would be bested in another way, that

was the cross-

to track one and the beginning of

press took, but further up east, as the
train did not taken the cross over
until it shot off front track one to
track three. .\lr.- liv-cret said that it
was faulty construction that it had a
“knuckle" where it should have a
better curve line. He said that the
fault in this was that there was too
much play of the rail from side to
side.
All the railroad officials took in-
stant issue with that criticism and
went into a technical explanation to
prove that the lines of the track were
. perfectly safe.
The coroner asked Mr. Everett if
he would show him a good piece of
roadbed, so that he could make a
comparison. .\ir. Everett said that he
could not, but he could years ago
when the roadlcd was better main-
tained, and he did 11:: ace why this

When asked if the Westport croas-

that it would bring the cross-over op—l
