New York GentraITWreck Perhaps caused by Dynamite. THE CORONER’S INQUEST Hints at Revenge as the Motive—A Passenger Tells at a Bowlder Hui-led Upon 'the Track Sonic Weeks Ago. ‘ New York, Oct. 28.—Reports to the effect that Chauncey M. Depew had positively stated that the New York Central Railroad disaster at Garrison’s was the work of dynamiting fiends is denied. ‘ Mr. Depew, when seen by a reporter, said that although he recognized as a hypothesis the theory that a section of the railroad had been' blown up by dynamite, and the awful result of Sun- day the result of a crime, he was by no means ready to announce these statements as facts. The examination into the cause of the wreck, Mr. Depew said, had been placed entirely in the hands of Col. Katte, who is regarded as the chief expert on the subject of explosives in the United States. He is assisted by a large staff. The colonel had for many years been in the employ of the New York Central Railroad. - “There are many things,” said Mr. Depew, “both for and against the train-wrecking theory. No one heard any explosion; on the other hand, ‘the vertical cut in the rock,’ and the sud- denness of the disaster would argue that criminals had placed , dynamite there. Of one thing you may be sure, the investigation will not be stopped until every circumstance, which is at present shrouded in doubt is brought to light." . Some One’s Revenge. "If the embankment of the railroad was torn up by dynamite, the motive of those who did it was. not robbery, but revenge,” was the statement made by one official of the road at Garri— son’s. One of the roadmasters said to his fellow officials that the excavation looked to him like the work of dyna- mite. The tendency of dynamite is to blast downward rather than upward or outward, and a very light charge of dynamite would have collapsed a. sec- tion of track fully as extensive as the section in question. ' The locomotive was found in the river at least thirty feet south of the depression in the track, which makes it seem reasonably certain that the en- gine leaped the space before it started in its plunge into the mud bottom of the river. It is known that the engi- neer had shut off his steam and ap- plied thc .air brakes to the train before the'crash came, and those circum— stances lead the officials to believe that Engineer Foyle saw that something was wrong with the track before he went into the river with his engine. Still, it is admitted that he would have instantly applied the brakes the mo- ment that he felt his engine sinking. A gentleman who travels from Gar- rison’s to New York every morning said that three weeks ago this same train, No. 46, had a narrow escape from being wrecked at a point about two miles south of the'Espot where it finally met its fate. A bowlder weigh— ing two tons was discovered on the track just in time for the train to be stopped. The bowlder must have fallen from the top of the mountain, for it cleared the inland track and landed squarely on the down track. The Inquest. ' Cold Springs, N. Y., Oct.'28.—Coroner William T. Wood, of this town, began his inquest last night into the cause 'of the deaths of the nineteen'or twenty persons who lost their lives in the ac- cident on Sunday morning. John P. Donohue is foreman of the jury, and District Attorney A. J. Bennett South- ard, of Putnam County, conducted the examination. 'I .. . William Patterson was the most sat- isfactory of the witnesses. He had been a porter on the railroad, he testi- fied, for thirty—one years. He was the only one who was able to describe the character of the break in the earth of the roadbed. Each of the others’said that they saw a circular hole in the ground and the tracks were gone, but none of them could tell whether the wall beyond was gone or what the character of the break in the rail was, although Mr. Southard tried hard to find out whether the earth there had simply slid off, leaving a slanting line of rail from the edge of the break: towards the river, or whether the earth had parted with a. perpendicular break. Mr. Patterson said that he had been riding over that part of the road for thirty years and never heard or thought that portion to be more dan- gerous than any other. The hearing lasted more than an hour, and was productive of no in- formation'whatever bearing upon the cause of the disaster. The inquest was adjourned until Nov. 4. , Chief Detective Humphrey, of the railroad, was asked last evening if the arrest of any persons was contem- plated on suspicion of having caused the wreck of the express. , Mr.— Humphrey admitted that the railroad company suspects that the roadbed was blown out by dynamite, but refused to divulge any informa- tion. He said that his instructions were to report the result of his investiga- tions personally to President Depew. . No Evidence of Dynamite. President Depew, of the New .York Central, said yesterday that his state- ment regarding dynamite as a possible cause of Sunday’s accident lhas been misinterpreted. He did' not say that dynamite was a, probable cause, but that dynamite could have caused the accident. There is "absolutely no evi- dence to show that dynamite was used. “‘We are as much as ever in the dark as to the cause of the accident,” said President Depew. “I do not believe that the ‘fault was in the condition of the roadbed or in the seawall. The facts we know are that the roadbed was in good’ conditiOn less than an hour before the accident, and the fact that the throttle of the sunken engine was closed seems to show that when the Buffalo special came along Engl- neer Foyle‘ saw something wrong with the track and tried to stop 'his train." Senator Morgan. ill, at San Diego. Cal., is reported better. .\ Loon Errorrer. «A-‘L'ine "armorwalk Evidence is'Worth a Column of - "Foreign Testimony. This is a purely local event.

Policeman’and the Thief, When Cornered, Fires a. Fatal Shot—Murderer Will~ Be Tried on Monday. New York, Oct. 28,—Burglar Fritz Meyer has confessed to the foul mur- der of Policeman Fred Smith early yesterday morning in the Church of the Redeemer. He admits he was try- ing to rob the poor bbx. Startling as is the murder of Smith, the police are certain. that Meyer is chargeable with even a colder-blooded crime—the recent murder of Bellringer Stelz in the Church or the Holy Trin- ity, in Williamsburg. Both murders were committed in churches; both were done in identi- cally the same manner. District Attorney Olcott will ask, the Grand Jury to-day to indict Meyer, and the trial of the Case will probably begin next Monday. Early Tuesday evening the murderer .sneaked into the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, in East Third street, while the October devotions of the the nerves, giving restful sleep.

At mid- ‘ night, when the congregation and the priests had gone away, he went down to break open the poor box. He was armed with a jimmy and revolver. In prying open the box he .set off the burglar alarm and it rang in the ! priest’s house next door. It had been put there because thieves had robbed I the box before. The alarm was heard by one of the priests. He took a police whistle, and, opening a window in the ; frpnt of the house, blew several shrill blasts. ~ I Policemen Smith and Conklinheard the whistle and ran to the rectory. The priest told them that the alarm had sounded, and they ran on to the church. Smith entered first, and-in the dim light before the altar saw a man .moving around the edifice. The man was Meyer. 7 As the, policeman entered Meyer stole to the door leading to the school and darted out of sight. Smith dashed down an aisle, followed by Conklin. ' Smith leaped through the passageway somewhat in advance of Conklin. As 1 he entered the schoolroom Meyer raised a revolver and fired. ’ Smith sank down as Conklin ran into the room. Meyer leaped through a window, carrying the whole lower sash with him. Several men who were in the street caught sight of the fleeing l Meyer and soon overtook him. They fell upon him, and one of the [men dragged his revolver from him, while another wrested the jimmy out g of his hand. By this time word of the -shooting had reached the East Fifth street police station, 'and half a dozen lmen-started up the street on a run. They reached the burglar as he was 1 struggling to his feet. One of the po— I licemen subdued him by a blow from his club, and they started him for the station. The crowd'had increased to several hundred excited citizens. “Kill him! Lynch him!” they cried, and it was only by hurrying their man along that the policemen prevented probable violence. In the Meyer admitted the shooting but de- nied that heahad broken into the church. , He said he laid in wait, intending to rob the poor box and-take whatever else he could. When he policeman surprised him he shot, ,nowing it was ,all up with him. Meyer is a thin, cadaverous-looking fellow, with red- dish hair and mustache. Smith lived five minutes after the shooting. The bullet entered his mouth and came out at the back of his head. The priest’ administered the last sacrament of the Church as he was breathing his last. Smith had been on the force fourteen years. He was 43- years old and lived at 97 Ave- nue A. - THE QUEEN’S COUSIN DEAD. The Duchess of Teck Expires After ' an Operation.
