Engineer "Gets" 33 of
36 Persons He Struck
South Norwalk. Conn.. Sept. 16.
Augustus J. Curnow, a New Haven
railroad engineer, testified here yes
terday afternoon that in his twenty
six years on the road he had "got"
thirty-three persons out of thirty-six
he had struck. Coroner John J. Phe
lan asked what he meant by "got"
and Curnow calmly replied that he
had killed them. The engineer was
testifying at the inquest over a man
killed Monday.
It was brought out that the new
electric motors make so little noise
that when a steam engine is near the
electric one is not heard approaching.
Curnow said the engine he ran on
Monday was No. 13 and the date was
September 13, and he had a premoni
tion he would kill somebody before
the day ended.
