News - Spreads Rapidly. ...
' News of the disaster spread like
wildfire , and in .no time there was a
steady ' stream of wagons and auto
mobiles racing to the scenes The
news of the wreck caused great ex
citement about the city and all thos
who had friends or relatives who
might have been on the train were
filled with consternation until the
news came back that none were
killed. '"'Vv-'
The general scene of the wreck was
a frightful one. Lying just to the side
of the crossing was the engine, turned
over on its side and the cab and fix
tures broken and bent. The rails
too, were ripped up and twisted for a
considerable distance around ' the
wreck. s , '
Many, New Britain people were on
the train and while none was seri
ously, fcijured many received bad cuts
and bruises. Priests from St. Mary's
and St., Joseph's churches were hur
ried to the scene in automobiles and
physicians from this city dashed to ,
the crossing to succor the wounded,
The doctors were busy for an hour
after the train was wrecked tying
up cuts and applying bandages.
Spreading rails, caused by frost
coming put of the ground is . held
responsible. The first; two coaches
were overturned1 and pandemonium
reigned among the , passengers, who
fought their way out through broken
windows. The locomotive was turned,
over and headed on Its way back to
this city, while the tender con-
tinued on its way north and over-
turned about seventy -five yards away
from the .wreck!
Making Up Time.
According to James F. White of
this city the train left here late and
the engineer was attempting to make
up time. The train rocked crazily
after it was well started. he said.
About 100 yards south of Clayton
crossing the locomotive left the rails.
which spread to a wide area,
Despite ;
this fact It continued going until it !
reached the crossing where it: turned
around. . .The first and second coaches
dragged along over the ties and final
ly the first toppled over Into a field.
The second also went over but not at
such an angle. The first coach was
held up by posts in a wire fence. Had
it not been for the .posts It would
have rolled over and some of the oc
cupants would have been killed. The
posts held' the coach up and allowed
a space of about two feet between the
ground and the side of the coach.
Through this space many in the first
coach crept to Bafety.
Engineer Benson was found by
the side of the locomotive. Fireman
McCarroll wag lying unconscious at
the side of-the coal tender. It isbe-
lieved that he clung to the tender as
.-.....-. ... v
it separated from the locomotive. -
Among the , physicians who re
sponded to the call were Drs. Ma
Ioney, Walsh, Greenberg, Kelly, Dunn
and O'Connell. ' ' , ; ' '
Thomas Dolan, New Britain, sales
agent for the Pillsbury Flour Mills
company, was sitting on the left hand
side of ' the 'second - car. He per
ceived suddenly that the car ran un
evenly and the next instant he was
plunged . to the other side ' on top
of -a heap of humanity. -Women
shrieked and he, with the aid of
several other passengers, aided in
breaking windows that they might
be taken out; Mr. Dolan was badly
shaken up.
N. T. Textorius of 'Boston, Mass.,
was . walking towards v the main line
tracks when overtaken : by a -reporter.
He was so weak that it was
necessary ., f or him to . keep a,- hold
on the-, fence as he walked. He was
injured arout the waist and hips.
He was enroute from ' ' Bristol to
Boston :at . the time of the accident
Mr. Textoriu,s thought he was struck
in the back with' a' heavy suit case.
" Joe Weinstein of Paradise park,
this city, was sitting in the car next
to the engine. A woman, Unknown to'
him, was sitting on the aisle side ' of
4h ewt -and as ths-car, plunged, down
the embankment she fell beavilyupon
him. Somebody opened 1 the window
and dragged the woman out, lie said,
before .-he had time , to ascertain
whether or not she suffered any seri
ous injuries. - '
A man named Joseph . Willett. who
said he resides at 110 High street,
Hartford, had the forefinger and
second finger of his left hand badly
lacerated. , They were bleeding- pro
fusely when Dr. Kelly took charge of
his case.'
M. D. Saxe Makes Statement.
Attorney Morris D. Saxe, of ihts
city, was a passenger on the ill-fated
dinkey and stated that it was by only
the greatest of miracles that all wer
fnot killed. He states that there were
but a very few people in the forward
coach, which received the brunt of
the wreck, but that the second and
third cars were well filled with peo
ple going to. Hartford to do their Sat
urday shopping-. .,'.
"The first thing I noticed," says
Lawyer Saxe, "was as we were ap
proaching the Clayton crossing the
cars began to sway and jolt about on
j the rails and to bump along Until the
j whole business overturned. The coach
j following the first two almost tipped
over also,1 but balanced nicely and
then stopped. Had the train gone
only a few feet further that car would
also have . gone . over ' and then many
would doubtless have been killed."
J Asked as to what caused the wreclt
lMr- Saxe said that as far as he could
find out il was due to spreading rails,
resulting from apparently rotten ties,
The storv told by other victim's is
much the same. All say that the
. tram was proceeding as usual when
they felt a bump, then a series ol
bumps until ( the whole train swayed
i violently to the right and came to a
stop, the engine and first two coaches
; turning completely over on their side.

to be a wreok. The floor seemed to

H. C. Everson of Edson street, this

looking' out of the window. He felt
the car swerve and made a grab for
a nearby seat but was thrown through
the window and Into the open ' lot,
a; distance of about ten feet. His
knee was bruised slightly.
Other passengers crept out of the
windows and tunnelled their way

Mice Goff Hearing Testimony ef
Two New Witnesses. -
"DAGO FRANK" ISSUES STATEMENT
Carl Dresner, a "New York Bartender,
States He Heart! Jack Rose Urge
Webber and Vallon to 'lut It Over
On" Rosenthal. -
New York, April 11. Counsel for
tho four gunmen doomed to die at
Sing Sing prison Monday for the mur
der of Herman Rosenthal, made a
final plea for their clients before Su
preme Court Justice John W. Goff to
day. The justice, who had presided
at the trial, agreed last night to this
eleventh hour procedure on the repre
sentation of counsel that new evidence
had been discovered tending to show
that the prisoners were not the real
murderers. District Attorney .Whit
man, rushing here from Chicago, ap
peared to oppose the motion for a
new trial. The hearing was set for
noon In the judge's chambers, but was
transferred at the last moment to the
supreme court proper. There was
some delay ln starting.
Seven New Affidavit.
Mr. Wahle, chief of counsel for the
prisoners, said that seven new affi
davits had been obtained but the
signers of only three of them would
be called , upon to testify.
The proceedings were Interrupted
here when Judge Goff ordered a young
man who delivered a note to him
stopped before he could leave the
room. The man was placed on the
witness stand, He said he was Gus
tavo Beck, and that he had come to
.the court to deliver a note to E. B. M.
Browne, a Jewish clergyman, who has
been 'working in the gunmen's behalf.
The note had been handed to him in
the hall of the court house, he ex
plained! That was all he knew about
it. ' ; t .
: . Contents Held Secret.'
Mr. Browne, on the stand, .dis
claimed all knowledge of the note,
and its contents. were not made pub
lic at the time. The clergyman read
It, but would say only "It Is a secret"
. Carl Dresner,, a bartender , and Wiener
of an affidavit, ' who stated that he
had seen the now notorious informer,
"Bridgie" Webber, Harry Vallon and
others, speeding away in the auto
mobile from the scene of , the Rosen
thal murder, was called to the stand.
Indications were that the hearing
would be protracted and perhaps
stretch into a night session.
Dresner said he knew Rose, Web
ber, Schepps, Vallon and Rosenthal.
He had known some of the men as
long as six years before Rosenthal
was killed, and some only a year be
fore that time. He met them at
various times in gambling rooms and
cafes In and around New York.
Heard Rose's Suggestion. '
The witness said he also knew u
bartender named Vincent who worked
during July, 1912 the monts of the
murder In the Garden Cafe at Fif
tieth street and Seventh avenue. On.
the morning of July 12, 1912, Dres
ner said, he was standing , on that
corner from 1 o'clock until shortly
before 2 o'clock. This was three
days before the murder. He said
he saw Rose, Webber and Vallon in
front of the cafe and heard Roso
urge Webber and Vallon to "Put it
over on" Rosenthal when the latter
emerged from the place with his wife
and a man he (the witness) did not
know. Details of this alleged, oc
currence have previously been cited
in the witness' affidavit. 1
Coming down to the time of the
murder, Dresner swore that he was
standing on the steps of the Elks
club, which is diagonally across the
street from . the Hotel Metropole,
when he heard shots, and then a gray
car raced by him through Forty
third street., Schepps .was on the
running board and ln the car he saw
Webber, Vallon and Shapiro. . Two
other men were In the car, said the
witness, but they were not any of the
gunmen now in Sing Sing. He said he
told Policeman James Kelly what he
knew during the week Becker was
convicted.
Whitman Fires Questions.
District Attorney Whitman here
took up the cross examination.
"Where did you see Policeman
Kelly?" asked the district attorney.
In the criminal courts building. I
went there to find out whether Beck
er had been convicted or not."
"Exactly what did you tell Kelly?"
"I told Kelly the men who (killed
Rosenthal were not the men locked
up.
"Did. you tell Kelly Rose, Schepps
and Vallon were in the car?"
"No.M .
"Didn't you tell Mr. Wahle you told
Kelly that?" '
It was doubtful If the hearing be
fore Justice Goff could be concluded
today. In which event it was expected
that District Attorney Whitman
would Join counsel for the gunmen
ln requesting Governor Glynn .to
grant' a respite. Unless such re
spite Is received by Warden Clancy
of Sing Sing prison before the time
set for the execution of the four men,
he has made it plain that the original
