' ..r-r' -... Railroad Officials on Trial for Manslaughter Xcw York. Sept. l.-A. -T. Cassett, president of the Pennsylvania raifroad; John D. Crimmlns of New York. Dr. Leslie D. Ward of the Prudential In eurance Company, E. F. Young, bank president and president of the North Jersey Traction Company. Dr. Garria and J. Roosevelt Shanley, all of the members of the executive committee of the North Jersey company, were lined up before the rail in the circuit court.' Newark. N.' J., today whGT rhandler Ricker. prosecutor for Essex county, called witness after witness in I endeavor to clinch with a convicuon the charge of manslaughter, under which these men stand indicted for having by criminal carelessness per mitted, as alleged, a state of affairs to exist at the Clifton avenue crossing of the Delaware, Lackawanna and "West ern Railroad, in Newark, which re sulted in the steam and trolley car col lision February 13 last when Erneotina Uiller and eight others lost their lives. The case Is being watched with in tense interest, especially by members "of the legal profession. There never has been its parallel before in Ameri can courts. Lawyers say that its re run Is likely to establish a precedent of perhaps far-reaching conseo.usnces. On the issue hangs the constructive re sponsibility for .negligence of railroad officials who are not in immediate con tact with the operation of the road. In addition to superintendents and assis tant "superintendent, directors them selves are indicted. The directors in volved, however, are only such as are members of the railroad's executive committee. The proposition of counsel for the state is that a notoriously dangerous condition of affairs existed at the Clif ton avenue crossing: that the repre sentatives of both the North Jersey and the Delaware, Lacka wanna and "Western roads recognized the danger; that they had a conference on the sub ject; that a device was agreed upon whereby the peril would be averted, that this device was actually pur chased and delivered at the crossing; that, owing to differences between the two companies', it was never Installed, and at last it was sent away. Thus far, the prosecution, by its wit nesses, has endeavored to establish that there was. snow on the tracks and that the rails were slippery; that the motorman applied his brake, but that, although the wheels of the front truck were locked and did not revolve,-the heavy car continued to slide along over the slippery rails until it crashed through the railroad crossing guard. ,io far as may be Inferred from the line of cross-examination, the defense will endeavor to show that Just before the trolley car reached the steam rail road tracks it came almost to a stop,, and then suddenly shot ahead under a renewed impulse, the Inference being that the motorman. in the excitement i of the moment, and in the din of shrieks from the terrified school chil dren, lost his mental poise and applied the electric power with his left hand while with his right he grasped the brake handle. The issue . came out sharply at the close of this afternoon's session of the court. The state had Introduced a number of witnesses, who testified to substantially the same thing that the car had slipped down the grade from Orange street to the cross ing; that the brake was applied and :hat the car slipped on the rails. Chief Justice Gummere here Interrupt ed. He objected to a continuance of evidence that was merely cumulative, llr. Ricker, for the people, said that the defense, in cross-examination, had apparently aimed to establish the slacking up of the car at the crossing and then Its sudden advance at In creased speed. Chief Justice Gummere replied that if the defense advanced testimony to that effect the prosecu tion would have an opportunity to meet it with counter-testimony. There the matter rested at the adjournment of court, and it was understood that to morrow the prosecution would intro duce a new line of evidence.
