* ENGINEER 15 BLAMED FOR FATAL WRECK
Tragedy Occurs in New|
Jersey at Height of Rush Hour.
BAYONNE, N, J, Aug. 3~Engineer William « O'Neill, 71, was blamed in a management statement today for the crash of two New Jersey coramuter killed one person and injured 83 others. E. T. Moore, general manager of the railroad, said an investigation indicated that Mr, O'Neill “failed to control the speed of his train in accordance with signal indications.” The automatic signal system was working perfectly, Mr, Moore said. The wreck occurred at the height of the afternoon rush hour yesterday when Mr. O'Neill's train, the Freehold Express, plowed into the rear end of the Barnegat Express which had made an unscheduled stop at the Bayonne station. Mr. O'Neill, whose home is in Port Monmouth, N. J., escaped injury by leaping from the locomotive a few seconds before it crashed into the crowded club car of the Barnegat Express. His fireman, Robert Hendershot, 26, Bear Creek, Pa, was killed.
Packed With Commuters
The two trains — packed with regular commuters and scores of
persons en route for a week end at]
New Jersey beaches—were operating a minute apart. The lead train. the Barnegat Express, was flagged down at Bayonne to pick up passengers. It had just pulled out of the station when the Freehold express rounded a curve and crashed into the club car, Steam and hot water poured from the broken valves of the locomotive, spraying passengers and coaches, All of the seriously injured were riding in the club car which was crumpled by the impact and tossed on its side, partially hanging over the edge of a viaduct spanning the highway. The engine rolled over on its side, pinning the fireman beneath the wreckage, Filled With Live Steam Deputy Fire Chief Williah Pr Garrity, one of the first to enter the wrecked coach, said live steam filled the interior of the car when he made his way inside. “People were lying all over the coach, pinned under seats and tables,” he sald. “There were about 85 people in the coach and blood was spattered over everything. People were moaning: ‘Please help me, please help me.’ We got them out in about 15 minutes.” Thirty-three persons were detained at the hospital. In addition, 50 others were treated at the hospital and on the scene and sent home. Traffic on the road was tied up until 9 p. m. when two tracks were cleared sufficiently to permit trains to move again. Normal traffic was resumed at 3:30 a. m. today.

In ordering the engineering changes-—which were formulated by the CAA, Lockheed Aircraft Corp, Wright Aeronautical Corp. and the airlines together—the director of] the CAA made it plain that his| office considers the Constellation design to be fundamentally sound, and that when the improvements are made there will be no hesitation in approving it for use by the public.

MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 3.— | Mrs. Gladys Lattimore wept in Morgan circuit court today as she pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and battery with intent to kill in connection with the “irritation” shooting of her sister-in-law.
