ONE PASSENGER KILLED
And Many; Others More on Less
Injured.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19
I ruin 2on the Kansas City, Fort
.Scotland Memphis, which left
Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday
evening for Kansas City, was de
railed just West of Williford, Ark.,
j yesterday morning. The combina
tion coach, chair car and sleeper
went over the bunk, the combina
tion car going into Spring river.
The chair car ami sleeper were
both consumed.
One passenger was fatally injur
and died at 9:15 yesterday morn
ing, and about thirty others more
jOr less seriously hurt. It is believ
ed none of the la’ter will d e.
No. 2is a fast through train
‘ from the South. Betwi-en Williford
and Hardy the Memphis tracks
parallel the Spring river, a little
' stream running out of Mam noth
Springs. The train was composed
'of the engine, mail and express
■ car, baggage car, combination
1 coach,chair car and sleeper.
The combination car has a par
tition in the middle, one end being
used as a smoker and the other
'end for colored passengers.
When near Williford, the engin
eer felt the train leap forward and
found that it had parted between
the two duy coaches. The lust
three :ars bumped over the ties,
the chair car and sleeper turnii g
over on their sides and the combi
nation car finally going into the
river.
The engineer backed up the front
part of the train and ihe work of
rescue was immediately begun.
The terror of the passengers who
had gone down into tne stream
with the con.bination car wasj
heightened by cries of alarm from
the chair car and sleeper, both of
which soon took fire.
The intense darkness added to
the confusion and it was some
time before an organized effort at
rescue was put into effect by the
train ere l ’ and those of tbepassen
gers who had been ab e to extri
cate themselves without aid. The
passengers in the burning cars
were rescued b* lore the fire had
reached its height, and but few
in these cars were injured.
Luckily not a person was
drowr ed and it was not long be
fore all bad been accmnted for
A telegram to Thayer, Mo., twen
ty-nine miles distant, brought a
relief train in an hour or so, and
the injured were taken to that
city and placed in a hospital.

DYING HE HE!I
REMBRKABLE CONFESION CI
THE MEXICAN SUICIDE.
READ IN OPEN COURT
It Created A Profound Sensa
tion on All Sinus.
City of Mexico, Nov, 19—A
profound sensation was made in
.he course of the trial of the p< lice
< flicial charged vi ith the murder
of Arroyo, by the production of
the confession of the lute inspector
general of police, Ve asquez. I
is a most remarkab’e attempt at
alf justification, and fa'sely
states that a mob of the
common people lynched Arroyo.
Velasquez saiel in part:
“I entertained most enthusias ic
admiration for General Diaz, I
have known him since infancy,
when my parents taught me to
love and respect him. I saw’ him
at Guadalupeje.uring the siege of
Mexico, and since then I have en
tertained absolute idolitry forth?
man who rules our country. Only
two families remained at Guada
lupe during the siege. Jne wrs
that of Don Susano Montan to and
the other was ourselves. When 1
reached my majority I resolved to
serve Gen. Diaz with loyalty,
though] injinferior p >sts. While I
was still young and with a salary
of only SSO a month, I had
charge of privat* correspon
dence of Don Manuel Dubian,
Afterwards I was elected deputy
and still later the president sent
me to occupy the ch es position
of authority in my native vil
lage at a time ot religious move
ment without paiailel in the his
tory (four country, aid every
one knows what tuccessl sequited
mjself in that difficult position as
partisan and as a Me xican.”
Velasques th<n wei t <n to
say th it no direct ord-rs for Ar
royo’s killing were given, but that
the populace already strongly
wrought up by the assault upon
the president were urged bv sug
g s*ions to commit the deed.
Said h a .
“I maintain that I have done
service to my country in proving
that an attack on the piesident
will be followed by iwift and
teniblj vengeence of the pepulace
sot nothing but the smallest hint
is needed to arm the hands of a
populace and let loose their fury
on criminals. If I have committ
ed fault, it is the result of k my
admiration and Icve for the presi
dent of the republic and I am not
ab e to measure the magnitude of
that fault for, with fourteen to
sixteen hours a day devoted to
effort to create sufficient police
protection for the life of him with
whom the peace of Mexico is
f ound up, it may well have hap
pened that the fuictious of the
heart have acquired a prepond r
arce of the brain and that m
reality I have committed,a grave
• rror. I though I was doing
right in organizing a popular
manifestation to avenge an attack
on the president and thus give
birth in the people to a pro
found conviction that punish
ment for such anact would come
swiftly’ in the form of lynching
or whatever it may be styled.”
He then went on to show that
otn rs besides himself wre will
ing that justice should be dealth
to Arroyo.
The prosecuting at’ermy in a
strong argument, pleaded for the
execution of a death sentence on
all the prisoners except ex Assist,
ant Chief of detectives Cabera and
1 one other m'nor prisoner who
was not directly implicated id the
tragedy. The case is l ik< ly to be
concluded Sunday or Monday.
