‘For God's Sake, Take It Easy’—

'Held His Head While Doc Sawed Victims' Legs Off’

‘I've Got Blood of Bravest Man | Ever

Saw on My Sleeves,’ Says Eyewitness By JOHN KENNETH WALSH, as Told to the United Press ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N. Y., Feb. 18—-I've got the blood of the gamest, bravest man I ever saw right here on my shirt sleeves. I held his head while the doc sawed his legs off. He said: “Take it easy, doc. You're hurting me. “I know you've got to do this to get me loose: But for God's. sake take it easy.” - He was a brave one, all right. The doc could only give him a local—couldn’t knock him out completely. He was caught under smashed steel and his legs were just as smashed as the steel was. I had been riding in the last car—had just gotten on the train here at Rockville Centre. After the big smash, I jumped down to the ground and ran up front and there was my friend, Doc Bill Murphy of Rockville Centre here. He was perched up there on the wreckage and he called down “Hey, Jack. Climb up here, and give a hand.” I climbed up and I'm glad I did but I wouldn't want to have to do it again. Oh, but he was a brave man. After the doc got through with him and they carried him off to a hospital, doc said: “I guess he won’t make it.” But it's my bet he will. Brave ones like that always do make it.

Motorman Charged With Manslaughter In Head-On Collision

Accused of Ignoring Red Light; 1000 Commuters Involved in Rail Disaster By DAVID C. WHITNEY, United Press Staff Correspondent ’ ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N. Y., Feb. 18—Twenty-seven men and two women died in the telescoped coaches of a head-on electric train collision last night. Today one of the two motormen was charged with manslaughter. Two of 115 injured in a disaster that involved approximately 1000 passengers, were in such critical condition in hospitals that doctors all but despaired for their lives. Their deaths would make the final death toll 31. The wreck involved commuter trains of the Long Island Railroad. District Attorney Frank Gullotta of Nassau County filed second degree manslaughter charges against Motor= man Jacob Kiefer. Mr. Gullotta said Mr. Kiefer ran his train onto a single track already occupied by another train going in the opposite direction, despite
