necessary to cut away the side of the
car.
Oscar Cook's younger brother, Roy,
was sitting near. When the crash
came he struggled as best he could to
get to his brother, reaching his side
Just In time to hear him say "Goodby."
Then the engine thrust Its nose further
Into the car and the older brother was
pinned between steel and wood.
Engineer’s Statement,
Engineer Cosby, of the Central, made
this statement last night:
"We were coming In Just at g o'clock
and were running about twelve miles
on hour. I was Just telling my fire
man, John Hillman, to look out for a
refrigerator enr that was In the yards,
and we never saw the West Point
train until we were about alx or eight
car lengths from It. I Immediately re
versed my engine, and we were going
about alx or eight miles an hour when
the crash came. The flagnmn of tho
other train failed to fing me down. He
told me that he depended on the
Whitehall street block to atop me. and
did not flag me down. He yelled to
me that It was his fault, and then
disappeared.”
Wild Rumors Flew,
The news of the accident spread over
the business district of the city like
wildfire and created scenes of Intense
excitement. Wild rumors as to the
number of killed and Injured were rife
and this augmented the excitement.
The first report* told ot s horrible ca
tastrophe, It being rumored that at
least'thirty peopls wars dead and fifty
Injured.
This report was rapidly circulated
from mouth to mouth and In awed
tones psopl* made anxious Inquiries.
Great crowds of people Immediately
deserted the buelnees thoroughfare*
and hurried to the scene; relative* spd
friends of many of these people having
attended the big Junior Order plrnlc.
It was th* space of only a short time
until the wrecked trains were sur
rounded by hundreds of mtn, women
and .children, eagerly seeking Informa
tion as to the extent of the accident.
Outgoing trolley cars, running, near
the scene, .were crowded with people,
numbers want out In automobiles,
while other crowds ran and walked.
Many 8svsd Mlraeuloutly.
The wreck Itself was remarkable
from the fact that the loes of life waa
no greater than It was. The big Cen
trsl railway passenger engine, one of
the largest running Into Atlanta, al
moat completely telescoped the rear
car of the picnic train, splitting It open
and splintering It as though It might
have been a cracker box.
So strongly was the big locomotive
wedged Into the car that the combined
power of two switch engines was re
quired to extricate it. Although the
car was torn to places, the engine es
caped with slight damage. Tbs front
end was smashed, but the smokestack
and headlight were not even knocked
off.
Hsd It, not been tor a warning rry
from a railroad man the result would
no doubt havs been more terrible and
deadly. Realising that a collision was
Inevitable, the railroad man, who waa
on the Fair street crossing-,'cried out
to the passenger* In the rear car,to
Jump for their lives. Instantly heed-
