BRUNSWICK, GA„ FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY £5, 1907.
OPERATOR WAS
ASLEEP ON DUTY
OUT ATTHALMANN
Same Very Near Causing a
Serious Accident on
the S. 11.
AFTER WAKIN3 UP HE TOOK A
TRAIN AND WENT TO SAVAN
NAH, WHERE HE WAS ARREST
ED—RELEASED LATER
Failure to secuac a response to
calls for Thallman, the junction o£
the Sea.card Air l.ine Ami the Atlan
ta, Birmingham and Atlantic tracks
Wednesday morning at the very time
the north bound local from Jackson
ville to Savannah was due to arrive
at Thallman caused excitement for a
short time in the offices of the Jack
sonville division. IF
At the proper perhny before thy
north bound train was due to arrive
at Thallman the Thallman call was
sounded, but there was no response.
After calling for ten minutes alarm
was felt at the idlspatcjliers office,
which increased as the cal! was con
tinued with no response.
At the time it was due to arrive at
Thallman the call was repeated but
with no response and it was kept up
for five, ten, twenty and even thirty,
minutes. Number 66 was then* Sue
at the next station but according to
a report from here, had not even
been sighted. No amount of calling
could get the operator at Thallman
to answer until thirty minutes af
i r the train was due to have passed
that pjdnt. Then there was a stutter
ing reply to the call, and the answer
came to the chief dispatcher’s in
quiry as to what was the matter, “1
was asleep.”
It developed that the operator also
closed his oilice, got aboard number
66 and went to Savannah. When the
operator stepped from the train,
which was forty minutes late, he vitas
promptly placed under arrest. The
charge was "Intended to be held for
investigation,” but It was placed on
the sheet at the Savannah police head
quarters as "held for criminal neg
ligence In leaving the telegraph of
lice of the Seaboard Air Line at
Tb all-man.”
- It was thought by the officials here
that probably the man was short in
some of his accounts, as he also had
charge of the depot at Thallman. He
; was held until there accounts could be
checked up and when It was found
j hat he had not appropriate.d any
jot the company’s money he was given
ibis liberty Lite in the afternoon
