BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, FEB. 7, 1902 Coroner's Report On the Death of Elmer Wicker. Coroner King has filed his report of the inquest he held in connection with the death of Elmer Wicker, the Monon conductor, at Bainbridge. The witnesses examined were Chas. Long, engineer; Jas. Callahan, conductor; Chas. Mitchell, fireman; and Elsworth Davis, brakeman; of the yard engine crew, and Prince Brooks, of the crew of the light engine which was in the rear of the yard engine and the train hauled by the latter. The testimony of the men of the yard engine was practically the same to the effect that their train was running eight or nine miles an hour and was on a sharp curve when struck, that there was a red light on the rear of the train, and that they were running on orders. The rear engineman testified that he did not see the first train until he was too near it to stop and that he did not see a light anywhere ahead of him. All the trainmen testified that a mashed lantern was found near the wrecked cars. The coroner does not place the blame for the affair but says the first train did not have a brakeman at the rear. Wicker was so tightly pinioned between the engine and the tender that another engine had to be hitched onto the latter and the two separated before he could be extricated. He was dead when first discovered. - Greencastle Banner Times.
