THE MORNING OKEGOMAX, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1916." 44 OR MORE DIE AS STREETCAR LEAPS Plunge Is Made Into Water at Boston While Draw of V, Bridge Is Open. WATER IS 35 FEET DEEP Many Women and Children Are Vic tims; Motnrman, Who Says Light AVas Xot Displayed, and Conductor Are Arrested. BOSTON. Nov. 7. Nearly 50 persons lost their lives when a surface trolley rar of the Boston E evated Railway Company plunged through an open draw at the Summer-street bridge to nitrht. Forty-four bodies had been recov ered at a late hour. All the bodies re covered were those of men. Mayor James M. Curley ordered an Investigation of the accident. Twelve other persons were rescued from the water by flreboats. One man, Thomas J. Gannon, died after be in brought to shore. f The car rested on the bottom of the channel. 35 feet deep. Oerald Walsh, motorman of the car, who jumped before it went over the edge of the draw, asserted that the ac cident was due to the fact that there was no light on the gates protecting the opening. He and George McKeen, the conductor, .who also leaped and so saved his life, were arrested on technical charges of manslaughter. The conductor was insensible and the police were unable to learn exactly the number of his passengers. Some of the rescued estimated the number of Passengers at upwards of 60. Women and Children Aboard. Most of the passengers were em ployes of the Western Electric Com pany's factory in South Boston and were returning to their homes from work. Many women and children were included in the number. The car was of the closed type with a narrow door at each end so that escape was im possible except for those who happened to be standing on the platforms. The first assistant drawtender, Tim othy J. Shea, who was in charge of the bridge, disputed . the statement of the motorman that there was no light at the draw. Shea said the usual red signal lights were on the gate. He was not sure, he said, whether the arc lamp on the bridge was lighted. The drawtender said that he received a signal about 6:25 P. M. from the towboat William G. Williams, which was going upstream with a lighter in tow. Car Plunges Through Gate. "I was in the controlllngrhouse," Baid Shea, "and I took all the usual precautions. There were red lights on the gate. I opened the draw and the tugboat started to come through. Sud denly my attention was attracted jy a crash and screams. As I looked around the car went right through the gate of the draw and plunged i-.to the channel. "Only the rear trucks remained on the rail, the body of the car breaking away from these trucks and disappear ing under the water." FIVE I. W.
