THE MUD RUN HORROR.
Cook ana Ttannlglinn Acqnltlad. An Am
loua Week for Engineer Mnjor.
Engineer Henry Cook sat at a small
round tablo lnsldo the prlsorcrs rail In tho
Court Houso on Thursday aftet noon and
Friday while tho great legal minds battled
In argumcntlvo forco to the jury who weto
to judge, according to tho strength of tho
evidence, whether or not he was gulltv of
negligence lu causing the blood-curdling
Mud Hun Massacrn on the night of October
10, 1838. His faco wore an anxious, half
nervous look from this lime on until the
jury brought In a verdict of not guilty, on
Saturday monlng.
The caso of James nannlgan was called
on Friday and after going through the pre'
llmlnarles tho following jury was chosen:
Patrick Elliot, Lansford; Adam Kuukcl,
Littlo Gap; It. H. Zluimeiman. Packerton;
J. W. Gerhart, Packer township; John
Brill. Weatherly; W. H. Gruber, Millport;
S. B. Hudson, Packer township; Peter
Bush, East Mauch Chunk; Daniel Mul
beam. Lansford, Joseph Itlloy, Nesquehon-
lng; John Spohn. Jlfauck Chunk, Dennis
McGlnley. Summit Hill.
Hannlgan was defended by Attorney Mil-
Loan, of Wilkcsbarre. The evidence was
co-slmllar to that presented In tho Cook
trial which appealed In our columns
last week. Tho caso was given to tho jury
who returned a verdict of not guilty on
Saturday.
Upon convening Monday morning the
Commonwealth asked for a continuance of
tho case of Engineer Thomas Major until
the April' term of court. Tho defence In
sisted that the trial be commenced however,
and Judge Drcher sustained them. This
was a victory for the defence and tho smile
of Gen. McCartney brightened consider
ably. At this point Court adjourned until
half past on; when eighteen juinrs wcro
called to the box for examination. Ques
tions were asked by Judge Harvey who
ordered four of them to stand aside. Gen,
McCartney, counsel for Major, objected
aslngnlng as his reason that ho could not
consistently do so as he had examined .them
and by allowing them to retain their seats
after he had waived his rights and under
tha law could not stand them aside.- The
court evidently did not view in Gen. Mc
Cartney's light for his objection was over
ruled.
District Attorney ItarSsher opened for the
prosecution In an address of about one half
hour's duration, after which the following
wero selected as a jury:
Patiick Breslln, Lansford; Richard
James, BcavcrMeadow; Ben Reese, Auden
rlcd; Jas. Vnn Horn, Lausanne; Frank
Day, Little Gap; Levi Schoenbcrger, Parry
vllle; Jonas Miller, Mahoning; Octa Parry,
Lansford; John Harklns, Audenrled;
Samuel Seller, Lehlghton; Owen H'ehr,
East Penn; Harry narris, Summit Hill.
A. H. Wler was the first witness called,
he was followed by W. J. Sheridan and
Supt. JXlichel), the latter was on the stand
when court adjourned Monday.
James Hannlcan, flagman on section 7,
was tho first witness called, on Tuesday and
related tho story of that fatal night. IFben
bis train stopped at Mud Run ho took his
lantern and proceeded to the station and
thence to the culvert, "whero ha gave the
signal to the approaching train, 1000 feet
South. Tho engineer gave a recognition
whistle and ho started Northward on the
track, and after he had reached the station
he noticed that tho tihln was advancing at
a high rate of speed. IThen he flagged the
train tlio second time he had a' red and a
white lantern In his hand. He did not place
torpedoes on the track, although he had
them in his possession. Ho did not think
It necessary, as the advancing engineer
could seo tho station for hundreds of yards
South.
General McCartney put Hannlgan
through a severe cross-examination but be
yond eliciting what had been customary
nnder the circumstances he did not succeed,
however, as Hannlngan told a convicting
story.
Engineer nenry Cook was called and
swore that whennearing the station Major's
engine was using steam. Major had charge
of the train, he should have had. lie swoie
deliberately that Major could have stopped
tho train by the application of the airbrakes
had they been working. Saw Maior come
up the track after ho had left his engine,
and he afterwards mounted the engines and
put on brakes. Whether or not ks meant
to do so he could not day.
Cook swore that it was not his business
to stop at the station, but that Maior should
have done so. If both engines had shut off
steam and the brakes had been applied the
train could have been stopped. lie (Cook)
blew down brakes when he saw the red
lantern. It was Major who blew for switch
es and targets. Before approachiug the
station ho expected to be stopped at Mud
Run by being signaled by order board. The
orders meant that the should stop at Mud
Run, at least so he construed them.
Engineer Kemmerer swore that a tratn
going at tho rate of fifteen miles an hour
approaching Mud Run could bo stopped by
the application of the air brakes forty feet
In advance of It.
Jamas Murphy, of Chicago, fireman on
Major's train, and Lookout Mulliearn,
testified that the airbrakes wero not In good
working order, as they failed to operate
several times on tho day of the wreck. Ho
was on the stand when court adjourned.
Thomas Major, tho defendant, was tho
first witness called on H'edncsday. He
said ho ran the second section of train No.
0 on October 10, when tho disaster oc
curred. He swore that on the morning of
the excursion his air-brakes would not
operate successfully and that he reported
their condition lo the officials. He made
several attempts to shove the brakes effect
ivcly on his outward trips, but they failed.
Coming down tho heavy grade he was com
pelled to use hand brakes. He detailed In
full his outward trip and all Incidents there
with, lie did shut oil steam when nearlng
Mud Run. He blew a lone whistle for the
station signal before approaching It. His
lookout next shouted: "All right, white
lights." ne answered this bv two taps of
the whistle. He tried to look out, but
could not see anything In advance, with
the steam irom the engine ahead of him
The lookout kept a watch during this time.
D'hen he blew the two short whistles he
was a quarter mile fiom the station. He
tried several times to see the station, and
continued, but could not see anything un
til the station was readied, when lie saw
! tho red light on the platform
He then
annlied tho brakes and reversed the
air-brakes and reversed the engine as the
I rear of section No. 0 was struck. The
! concussion threw him forward, and after
he had recovered himself he stepped from
the engine lo the ground and saw the wreck
throimli the escaping steam in tront ot mm
He next got on his locomotive and blew
five whistles for his flagman lo go back and
protect the rear end. He then undertook
to lescue some of the excurslouists who
were pinned between timbers lu the wreck.
Ho assisted in taking one boy through a
window
On cross-examination be twore that Cook
was using steam when they reached the
station; that he passed tho station twelve
miles an hour. He did not recollect saying
before the coroner's Inquest that be was
under lull control in passing tuo station
He emphasized bis statement that bad
tCook shut off steam when he (Major) did
m train ouiu aaya Been tioppaa larvr!
hundred feet south of the elation. Before
the disaster his engine was Used In running
coal trains only. Ills testimony tuat uook
had been using steam In ,oag Into tho
depot was In corroboratlou or Fireman
Murnhv and Lookout Mulhearn's evidence-
Wilson Marsdftle, who was the helping
engineer on No. O. sworo mat me air dtokcs
of the train would not work to satisfaction
nhenthev started fiom the Delaware and
Lackiwonna Juuctlon on the morning
of Ocober 10.
James Enclo swore to the defective na
turo of the brakes and testified to Major's
good reputation.
James jlcUlnly, recorder of deeds of
Luzerne County was called for tho pur
posu of showing that section No. 0 could be
seen from Major's train. He saw tho
wreked train ahead of htm as they advanced
toward the station without putting his head
out of the window. Ho saw the lights dis
tinctly and called the attention of others
to it. A short tltno afterwards tho crash
came, with its fearful results.
O. O. Esser.general dispatcher, was called
and testified that on October 4 ho had a
conversation with Major nnd told him that
ho would In all Ukllbood bo called upon to
run a train on October 10 and asked him
as to his engine In general. Major mado
no complaint about anything excepting that
ho had no gocg in his cab. Ho said noth
ing of tho defectiveness of tho machinery
or appurtenances. On tho morning of
October 10 tho cars attached to Major's
train that would not work when tho alrbrako
was applied we; e, taken off and no complaint
was mads after that by any of their cm
ploves. The closing arguments of tho counsel
were eloquent and wero listened to by an
anxious throng of peoplo who packed tho
littlo court-room to Its fullest capacity.
General McCartney made a strong plea for
tho defendant. Hon. Allen Craig, for tho
Commonwealth made the closing address.
Tho jury retired at six o'clock.
On Thursday afternoon tho jury, after
about four hours deliberation, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
