the collapsed cofferdani, the position
of which was unchanged since the sad
uccul’l‘tupe
All during the inquest yesterday the
counter seemed to be trying to ascer-
tain whether or not the cofferdam was
solely constructed 11.3 for as all known
safety devices go, what really caused
the collapse. and who, it anyone, is re-
sponsible for the failure of the brac-
ingvto hold. ITRliS was extremely dif-
ficult, as stated above, for all working
on the bridge are apparently of the
some mind, that it was built in the
proper way. that it was thought to be
more than strong enough, and that. ex-
plicit confidence in the construction
was manifest by all. from the engineei
down to the laborers.
'l‘iniekeeper John Duffy testified that
the timber “looked good" and that he.
with the others. thought the cofferdam
perfectly safe.
Coroner l’holau attempted to fasten
some blame upon the rushing tide wa-
ters and spoke of employing 11. ship‘u
log to determine the velocity of the
current at the height of the tide, simi-
lar to that when the collapse occurred.
Engineer 'l’ogou testified that ,tho tide
flow pressure was a small item. and
that it would probably have but little
bearing-on the subject at band.

porary construction. I looked at this
thing. however, and if I had found any-
thing that was not just all right I
would have put it up to Barton {0 have
it fixed. I was there all afternoon
when I had a chance, and in the even
lug until 10:05. i wanted to be sure
of the construction. I Was satisfied
that everything was all right for the
purpose it was intended. At 10:05 p.
in. l was 22 feet below the water level
in the cofferdam. There wasn't any-
thing thut l fourd wrong. The frame-
work appeared to be satisfactory.0nce
it started. however, there was no stpp
plug it. i believe that what Mr. De-
war started to do by attempting .to
shut off the pumps, was to try and save
the cofferdnm. llefcre we went home
i talked. with Dewar. lie was in a
good humor and seemed well pleased
with the way the pumps were standing
up. lie said. ‘E‘verything is working
all rtght.‘ and then i went home."
Engineer'l’agon described the find-
ing of the bodies. That of Culp lay at
the north end near the east side-under
a large pile of timber. One heavy tlm
ber rested on the back of his head.
Dr. Huntington here interposed that
death was due to drowning. rather
than to any other injuries.
The bddy of Mr. Dewar was discov-
ered about 5 a. m. in the central por-
tion of the cofferdam on the east side.
“He ‘was in the motor house when
death came." stated Contractor Bar-
ton. 'iHe was practically of! the dam
and went back to shut off the motors.
ills action was natural for he had tui-
pliclt confidence in the dam."
Dr. Huntington stated that
had come to Mr. Dewar, also.

The coroner did not finish hll ‘in~
