The Evidence Submitted. W. A. Ulle, conductor of the dirt train, was the first witness examined. He testified that he was working between the city and Anacostia yesterday.

His train was run into beyond the tunnel. Witness said the train had started from the B. H. tower a short time before the accident occurred, and his train was going at from twelve to fifteen miles an hour when the other train struck it. The conductor said his train was about to enter the tunnel when the collision occurred.

The signals gave the train in charge of witness the right of way. He said he blocked the track at tower a mile behind. The tower Is across the river and the tower.is near where the wreck occurred. Witness said he was told that everything was all right, and that he could go ahead. Before the accident occurred lie saw the engine and caboose going out with a freight train.

L. E. Denney, engineer in charge of the engine drawing the work train, testified that the first he knew of the accident was when the engine struck his train. He was given a clear signal at Apple House Hill and the conductor gave him word to move ahead. The members of the crew of his train, he said, were in their proper places.

It was the understanding of witness that the flagman saw the engine and caboose approaching, but there was no way that he could warn witness. Testimony of Trainmen. Fireman Hardisty, who was a member of Engineer Denny's crew, gave similar testimony. F. J.

Hardy, flagman, member of the same crew, testified that he gave the signal to go ahead, and after the start was made he saw the F. and P. engine and caboose following. Just before the crash came he jumped off to save himself. The dirt train, he said, had the right of way.

Augustua W. Ooates, operator at the tower, testified that he gave to the conductor of the engine a "proceed order," which gave him the right to proceed carefully to the next block. Witness knew the work train was in the block, and that was why he gave the "proceed order." His order was given to Conductor Schwartz, and it was his duty to deliver the order to the engineer. James Rowe, engineer, who was in charge of the engine drawing the caboose, testified that when Conductor Schwartz came from the tower he told witnesses they had plenty of time, but did not give him a copy of the order. The conductor gave him a signal to hurry.

His cab was in front of the engine. Witness said when he realized the danger he did all In his power to prevent an accident. The Jury's Verdict. Upon the conclusion of the testimony given by H. L.
