Record Upholds Story Of New Haven Engineer
In Samford Connecticut on June 16, testimony at the coroner's inquest supported engineer Charles J. Doherty's account of faults in engine 18K's air brakes prior to last Thursday's wreck. The roundhouse book showed notes noting brake issues and inspections, while witnesses including mechanic Joseph J. Gash and road foreman F. Carroll gave conflicting details about prior checks. Doherty maintained he reported brakes were faulty and intended broad checks, as coroner Phelan pressed witnesses on responsibility and the Evidence.

Test Run Planned on New Haven Road After Stamford Wreck
A test run will be conducted from New Haven to Stamford using the same equipment involved in the recent wreck to determine if defective air brakes caused the collision. Engine 428 was with repair crews, tubes in the boiler were replaced, and experts led by President Mellen examined airbrakes and engine No. 1008. An independent inquiry by the railroad is under way with officials from operating and mechanical departments questioned.

Blame Put On Doherty In Air Brake Incident
At Westinghouse Air Brake Co offices the reverse lever difficulty Doherty faced is cited as a factor in a past incident. Ro Davis says Doherty may have panicked, and that if he had stayed with the air brake, more serious trouble might have been avoided. The mechanism is simple and could be manipulated by anyone in a trolley car context.

Becker Cleared of Killing in Carter Case
Justice Philbin dismissed the complaint against Charles Becker in the Carter death suit. The action alleged Becker and Charles Purvis formed a powerful squad involved in the Harlem killing of Waverly Carter.
