The aged women had attended a picnic at Johnson’s grove, on an island in the river which the bridge spans. Becoming tired Mrs. Conley, against pro test of her friends insisted on taking the bridge rather than wait for ’he boat that had carried the party over. Midway of her passage over the ties, the picnic party was horrified to see the train swing around the curve at 40 miles an hour. The engineer at once sounded his whistle and applied the brakes. Mrs. Conley ap parently did not hear the alarm and the train slowed to less than 20 miles an hour, struck her, hurling her into the river at which point was about 12 feet deep with a swift current. The crew immediately searched along the river bank, but the body did not appear after striking the water.
