Daily National Intelligencer, published in Washington, D.C. February 4 1860 The coroner's jury assembled at Yonkers (N.Y.) to investigate the cause of the death of Mrs. Thomas W. FIELD, who was killed on the 18th ultimo on the Hudson River railroad, have returned a verdict that her death was caused by the wilful neglect of duty on the part of Robert HARTLEY, rear brakeman on the Albany express train, in not carrying the danger signal far enough up the road, as he was ordered by Conductor George N. SIMPSON to do; and they likewise censure the conductor for not seeing his order executed. They also state their opinion that the engineer of the Sing Sing train should have run more cautiously, knowing that the express train was running with an imperfect engine. HARTLEY has been arrested. http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=95297
