Separate trials granted in Greens Farms rail wreck case
Judge Greene ordered separate trials for Horn Pollock Woodward and Carmall, four railroad officers charged with manslaughter in the Greens Farms express wreck last October. State's Attorney Judson pressed for time to prepare further warrants and potential charges as defense counsel urged that joint trial would prejudice some defendants. The motion dominated morning arguments with Judson seeking adjournment to May term, while Cummings argued that differing duties among officers necessitate individual trials to prevent prejudicial testimony.
