He was unable to attend a hearing held several weeks ago when Calvin Skinkle of Beatrice, and J. A. Wid-ner of Hammond, eye-witnesses, gave their description of the crash, being confined to his home by injuries. Parks, father of Harley Parks, age 6, who was among the killed, was unable to give any intelligent account of the accident.

Parks said he looked to the right of the crossing and then the crash came. He didn't remember hearing the whistle of the train or seeing it coming. He said he was dazed by the impact, but was able to ride to the Edward Peterson home nearby in his own car which had been driven to the scene by his wife. Parks denied emphatically that there had been any drinking by members of his party, a fact brought out by the coroner because of the presence of several bottles containing alleged liquor found in the car after the crash. Neither Virgil Planulp nor Clyde Henley, the other men in the party, had taken any drinks before starting out on the fishing jaunt, he said.

The group had been visiting at the Edward Peterson home, relatives of Mrs. Henley, only a short distance away from the death crossing, and were on their way to Ludington ditch, near Lake Eliza, to catch minnows, and fish. Mrs. Henley, widow of Clyde Henley, killed in the crash, and mother of two of the other victims, Margery and Clyde Henley, and Mrs. Parks, were in attendance at the hearing.

W. W. McCallum, of Chicago, attorney for the Henleys and Parks, was not present. It is understood that he will institute damage suits against the railroad for the deaths of the three Henleys and the Parks boy within a sljort time. It is expected that Parks will also file a suit for injuries suffered.
