RESPECT FOR FREIGHT TRAINS
re- by Attorney (‘hnrics
Littleton presented the affidavit mod»
N. chlcr. of
Stamford. which has been erroneously
referred to as a newspaper statement
concocted by newspaper reporters in
New York. but is, in fact. a stale-
mcnt made under oath. in the pros-
encc of witnesses. in which the facts
already made public as to the visit of
Miss Ranger and Carl W. Myer to
Richard H. Cunningham, of Stamford.
and the following visit to chler are
set forth. in this affidavit. Wexier
admits that he acceded to tho sugges-
tion of the others named that he draw
a will to be used as the missing will
in the case. saying he did so because
he was under obligation to (.‘unnlng-
hunt.
When confronted by the affidavits
and Attorney Littlclon‘s explanation
We used to have mighty small
gtl'rd for freight trains. They were the
parialls of railway traffic. MoVing or
standing. laden or empty, we rt‘sent-
ed their presence. The very sound of
a freight locomotive puffing up a hea-
vy grade was offensive. The smoke
from the engines was a plague in ev-
ery community. it was irritating to
be obliged to wait at crossings while
it was intolerable to
slow freight.
