The coroner's jury rendered the fol lowing verdict upon the completion of the taking of testimony is the Itose- bursr train wreck case: "We, the coroners turv, impanelled and sworn to inquire who the deceased persons were, and wbere and by wbat means they came to their deaths, do find the deceased Dereona to be Albert Toy, John McGonfgle and George Hap- persett; they came to their death Octo ber 6, 1896, half a mile south of Green's station, on-the Southern Pacific road, by collision between two loco motives. It was elicited from tb evidence that the south bound engine was running under order?, and that the north bound engine had a right to flag back, as there was no telegraph station at Green's station, and . did comply with this regulation up to the traight track, one mile and a hall south of Green's station, which straight track tney bad a right to run over un Gagged when they could see. It being daylight they dropped down this straight track with the intention of flagging through the fog and around small curve, vve find no one guilty of -breaking the regulations of running. but deficient judgment was shown as tne distance from the fog that would make them safe in commencing flag again, which, according to evidence, they were intending to re sume." 1 t'leminv familr I Per Angle APIyiaale I Per T J Kenney !
