Judge Tuttle Praises Lawyers and Endorses Their Action
Charles Sanger Mellen former president of the New Haven road will not be held for the criminal courts for responsibility for the wreck at Westport October 3 1912. The acting state attorneys John H Light and Hugh M Alcorn recommended that the charge of manslaughter against Mellen be dismissed. Judge Tuttle said he had confidence in the lawyers and that if a conviction were to occur none were better suited to win it. The prosecutors argued there was insufficient evidence to justify a trial. They maintained the wreck stemmed from factors not proving Mellen’s direct fault and that there was no conclusive evidence for a cross over caused the crash. The report stressed the rail line was in good condition and signals set correctly. The cross over involved No 19 and the speed rules, with experts noting safe crossovers depend on speed. Judge Tuttle announced the case would be disposed of with the court’s approval.
