The preliminar5 investigation has de

ynrds the engineer of train No. 7 tested
ills brakes three times and found them
working, but had no further occasion
to use them until running into Dunkirk,
when he encountered n caution signal
registered by No. 41 standing in Dun

ncted on the locomotive nnd tender otilj
and wns not communicated to the cars
following. The train crew stntes that
the engineer whistled for handbrakes,
but before they could be used No. 7
crashed into the standing No 41.
As the wreckage wns cleared the
crushed body of the tramp was found
on the "head end," the narrow space
between the tender and the first car of
the train. The ancle cock controling the
flow of nlr through the brake pipes was
closed. It probnblv will never be de
veloped whether the man unwittingly
closed it with his foot, as he used the
cock as step to lift himself up on to the
car, on whether it was done intention
ally. The dead are: I li. Clifford, Of
