DEATH OF ENGINEER MURPHY Capt. Mathews and Lieut. Mulhall Absolved From Blame BY THE MAJORITY REPORT Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith, Member of the Board, Files Dissenting Opinion. ?. . > J T 1 A T T7? (.."apt. v\. jti. .tiainewB ang ueui. j. Millhall of the Metropolitan force have been exonerated of the charges preferred against them in connection with the death of HugTi Murphy, the engineer who met his death beneath an overturned engine, at 6th street and Maryland avenue southwest on September 11 last. Mathews was found Kiiiltv of striking Capt. W. A. Dickson of | the fire department at the scene of the wreck and of conduct unbecoming an ?flicer, and as a penalty was warned as to his future conduct, but the various sprious and grave charges, such as inefficiency, failing to render assistance, or direct those of their command to do so, and refusing to permit others to aid In the rescue, and of ejecting such persons, and of indecorous and intemperate conduct, which were preferred by Inspector Robert H. Boardman, as acting superintendent of police, upon the sworn complaint of Thomas H. Brickley, were dismissed, Mulhall and Mathews being found not guilty by a majority of the trial board upon tines allegations. Plie findings in tlie cases or me two ponce officers which has Deen looked forward to with more interest than possibly has been the result in any other case ever acted upon by a trial board, because of the grave nature of the charges, and in view of the fact that They were presented by the members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. was transmitted .to Commissioner West this morning by MaJ. Sylvester. All the papers in the case, including the hearing before the trial board and before commissioner Aiaciarianu, me iiiiuk? aim specifications, the records of the accused policemen and the correspondence in the case were bulky and represented many thousands of words. The papers in the hearing before the trial board consisted of several hundred sheets of foolscap paper, containing closely typewritten copy. Commissioner West did not shed his coat and jump inlo the papers after their receipt [ this morning, hut gave them a glance and thnni ftvur tn the secretary of the board of commissioners to keep for five | days, pending an appeal, which is the time limit allowed by law. The substance of the findings were clearly related to him by Maj. Sylvester, chief of police, and when asked for an expression of opinion upon the verdict, whicti was a divided one, the Commissioner refused to say anything. Minority Report Filed. The findings in the case of these officers, " '' flVAnop-itful tham r>/\t oipnpH hv James F. Smith, assistant corporation counsel and chairman of that board. He refused to put ills name to the findings and submitted a minority report dissenting from the opinion of the two police members of the board. Inspectors John A. Swindells and Francis E. Cross. In his separate report Mr. Smith holds that the officers did not maintain good order at the scene of the wreck; that they did not do all in their rinwor tr? ro8/>in* Miirrnhv nnfl that fh^v rP- 1 fused to permit others to aid in the rescue work. Me declared that these facts were brought out clearly at the triif! by responsible and reputable witnesses, and for these reasons the findings of the board should not be upheld. In his letter, accompanying the papers in' the case. Maj. Sylvester made no recommendation or comment except that of offering an apology for the delay in making the report. In this connection he said: "As to the causes for the delay in forwarding the findings, although not a matter over which the major and superintendent of police has any voice or control, he interrogated the board and has heretofore made report, commenting at the time that protracted delay of this kind is not conducive to good discipline." Review of Circumstances. In its findings the board makes a brief j review of the circumstances attending the | wreck, saying that on the night of Sep- j tember 11 last engine 1216 of the Southern j railway turned over at the corner of 6th I street and Maryland avenue southwest, and Hugh Murphy was thrown from the rat> to the street with the cab of the overturned engine resting upon his legs, rendering him unable to extricate himself. Shortly after the accident Lieut. Mulhall, with four reserve policemen from the fourth precinct, hurried to the scene, and upon arrival found everything dark and nearly a thousand persons gathered about the wreck. In the meantime the fire department had responded to an alarm and were ? U.v unana n?><1 r, ft V,L. 1 i *.?*! mt .n r nti auu .nun uj auci ma aiiiNdi i Lieut. Mulhall summoned t'apt. Mathews i with eight more reserves and the reserves. of the sixth and first precincts, as his force was found inadequate to handle the large crowd of curious and excited persons. According to the testimony, a score of railroad workmen were energetically at work with jacks trying to lift the engine from their suffering comrade, and they were ejected. Several of the railroad men t< stifled that they had jacks of a sufficient capacity to lift the cab of the engine from Murphy, and if they had been permitted to remain at their work a few minutes longer they could have released the engineer, as they had succeeded in freeing one of his legs. The defense contended umi mi,- j.u'm utiiiK opfraieu ny tne men were not of sufficient capacity to raise the engine. Mr. Smith's Views. Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith, in his minority report, said: The offense with which the officers accused are charged in the premises, is the ejection of railroad employes who were in the act of rendering assistance or making efforts to release the engineer before the arrival of the wreck train, and with preventing other railroad employes who were w lling awl capable of rendering such assistance from approaching and doing so. "It appears from the evidence that more than a score of men, a great majority of them railroad employes, were either put away from tlit? wreck by the police while actually t-ngaged in working there, or were prevented from approaching by the police after informing them that they were railroad men and capable of rendering assistance. In the majority of instances of this kind the acts complained of are charged against the two accused officers personally. Among the men who were thus either ejected or excluded by one or the other of the ; tv\.? accused offl ers, were the assistant ! foreman of yards of the Southern railway: I the assistant yard master of the Pennsylva- j j nla railroad: the supervisor of the Pennsyl1 vania railroad; the Ilreman of the overturnI ed rnpiie and the conductor of the train to which it was attached; also the railroad : engineer who telephoned for the wreck I train and the two men who had gone to Ju> Pennsylvania railroad station for hy1 draulic lacks and brought them there, and who, according to their testimony, were in 1 fact working with them at the time of their I ejectment, and the man who, at the sug! gestion of the Injured engineer, had pro' cured the screw jack from the tender of i the locomotive. . . _ Action or tne .roiice. "The police stem to have made no direct efforts in the way of releasing- the man, but the keeping back of the crowd was probably a work of sufficient difficulty to require all of their time and attention. The testimony of these men is absolutely uncontradicted. Some effort was made to discredit It by the introduction of evidence consisting mainly of the testimony of firemen and police officers to the effect that they saw men work ingr without interference, but In my judgment the positive testimony of so large a number of witnesses, unimpeached, some of them responsible and all presumably credible citizens, is not outweighed by the negative testimony referred to, and in the absence of contradiction must receive at least a measure of credit. The testimony relied on by the defense is not in any sense a contradiction; the men who were seen about the wreck may have been firemen? fn fact, Sergt. Dunnigan of the police force, after testifying that he saw men busy about the wreck without interference by the police, stated that to the best of his knowledge those he saw were policemen and firemen. Tended to Delay Rescue. "In my judgment, the conduct of the two accused officers and of those under them tended to delay rather than to hasten the work of release. It Is quite possible that If some of the men who w?re excluded had been permitted to reach- the scene earlier, or If the men who were engaged in what may have seemed to have been useless efforts, had been allowed to continue, a systematic and effective means for releasing xne engineer migm nave aeveiopea sooner. Some experimenting Is inevitable In sltua<tions of tbis kind, and It was not, Id my Judgment, within the province of the police to decide what was or was not the proper method of dealing with the situation, inasmuch as they took no part whatever in the work. "The testimony of the chief of the fire department is to the effect that In his judgment there was no occasion for the use of any others than firemen, and that he reached the conclusion very shortly after his arrival at the scene of the wreck, at about 7:40, that the jacks which were on hand were Insufficient; that nothing could save the man but the wreck triln, and that his subsequent conduct was governed accordingly. The accused officers evidently had the same Idea, although there Is no warrant for this conception of the relative duties of the tire department and the police of this kind. "It should have been apparent to these officers, exercising ordinary judgment, that the experience and capacity required to meet sucn an emergency could presumably be furnished more readily by those In the same line of employment with the Injured man and accustomed to dealing with, such pituations rather\i?an by strangers to them. Firemen Unable to Aid. , "The firemen confessed themselves absolutely impotent to render aid, and most of them were ordered from the scene before the arrival of the wreck train. My opinion 19, therefore, that exoneration of these officers would amount to a sanction of the line of conduct pursued by them on this occasion, to which I am unwiling to assent. "Capt. Mathews is also charged with conduct unbecoming an officer in striking Cafat. Dickson of flip fire flpnnrtmpnt the evidence showing that the accused officer struck Capt. Dickson with his tist. I am unable to see any extenuation of this offense in the circumstances suggested in behalf of the officer. "The accused officer in passing had shoved Capt. Dickson, and to keep from falling Dickson had clutched the accused by the arm, thereupon Capt. Mathews struck him with his fist. "It was the business of the accused to know whom he was striking. For all he knew, apparently, he miirlit have struck one of his own men. It would have been unbecoming conduct to have struck any one in such a manner and under such circumstances, and especially one whose right to be where he was was equal to that of himself. The Incident illustrates the mental condition of the accused officer, and tends to strengthen my conclusions as to the other charges." FINAL SESSION. Importance of Meeting of Woman's Board of Home Missions. The fourteenth annual meeting of the Woman's Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Protestant Church, which has been in session In the Rhode Island Avenue Church of this city for the past two days, concluded Its session last night.
