Engineer Declares His Brakes Failed In Wreck
Stamford dispatch reports Engineer Charles J. Doherty testified at the Stamford inquest into the Springfield Express collision. He described braking attempts from Bridgeport to Stamford, including emergency brakes and sand on rails, but could not stop the train. He noted a stiff heavy lever and an injury that limited movement, and he questioned whether reversal would have helped. The death toll rose with newsman Gregory Hume among those killed. Hume, injured, urged his paper to report the disaster before losing consciousness.
