Statement of J. B. Ho skins made to 0'5 Landrum on train No. 22 Jany 15th,
3.914, in regard to accident to Preston Slone.
MY name is J. B: Hoskins. I live at Lexin gton, Ky. I was-
Engineer in charge of train running north bound that struck Preston Slone
Just north of the north switch ”at Torrent, After passing the station-at
Torrent and getting on the main line'straight track I saw a man sitting
on the foreman's‘side of the track on the ends of the ties and looked like
he was workingon a bolt in the rail, I was about 20 rail lengths from
him and Was running about 25 miles per hour. Right after I saw him I
whistled to him tongs: call his attention to our train, I whistled‘
road crossing signal to him then, He did not moVe or 1'Ook up and when
_ in about 10 rail lengths of him I applied the brakes in emergency but
the train did not stop until "he was struck, I applied the brakes just
as Soon as I saw that he was not going to get off of the track at the
soundblf'the whistle. He was sitting there on the ends of the ties
looking north or rather withhiis head to the north and looking at what
I thought the rail or with a bol t in the fish plate. He did not look
up or move to my knowledge. ‘The train ran about 13 or 14 carnengths
after I apbl‘ied the brakes in emergency, Agpro aching 'iorrent that day
after getting out of‘the tunnel I blewr for the station and answered a
highball signal, then blew for the board and anSWered it by two short"
blasts of the wnl stle. I do not knot.y whether or not the bell Was mlngirg
' on the engine all f the time» It was passing the station and I-did not ~-
' shut it off. The fireman may have shut it off. This man made no statement
in. my presence.

Statement of w. c. Mallory made to c s Lavsmm at Jacksonﬂiﬁ, "an the
18h day of Becember, 1&1?» in regard to accident to Preston Slone near
Torrent, KY. ‘
my none is w. c. Mallory. I an 29 Years old' I live at
Jackson, Ky. I was Conductor on a north bound In freight train,
I think, No. 24 When man was struck at Torrent, Ky. The accident
happened about ‘50 yards north of the denot. The first that I knew
of any trouble Was when the brakes were applied and the train Come to
a stop. I found this may laying out on the side ofthe track, onthe
west side of the track. I pulled my caboose down by him, picked him up,
carried him back up to the station and turned him over to a doctor that
was there. The man was laying about four or five car lengths from the
engine- I asked this man that was injured how came him on the track
there and he said that he was just sitting down there. I asked him hoW
_ bad he was hurt and he said that he was not hurt bad that he had been
hurt worse than that a many of a time- I Would judge that this man had
beendrinking. When the brakes Were first applied we were making about
10 miles per hour. When the brakes were first applied they were not
applied in“ emergency. When the brakes were first applied a servicabl‘e
application was made- That Was something like 10 pounds of air draWn
off. The next application was made right Soon after the first one-
The second application was the emergency. "We had 9 or 10 cars in the
train- After getting mm through the tunnel at horrent the signal
was sounded for the board, four short blasts, and after the board was
given it Was answered with two short blasts of the Whistle. Those were
the only Whi stle signals Sounded after getting through the tunnel up until
the engine passed the station. Alarm signal Was then sounded. I believe
that the al arm signal was sounded before any application of the brake Was
made- The alarm signal and the application of the brake followed one
another right along. I think the engine bell Was ringing- I Would not
say positive about this— n. I was on the rear end of the train and the
train making the noise it is hard to detect whether or not the bell on“
the engine is ringing- People are very often seen passing up and down
the track at the point where this man was struck.
I have heard the abo ve statement read and itis true}

Law Agent, Paris, Ky.
Dear Sir:
Preston Slone v. L. & E. R. Co.,
Letcher Circuit Court.
You will recall that the petition in the above
case was recently filed at Beattyville by heDaniels. You have
heretofore seen the papers relative to the accident in which Slone
was injured and for that reason I am not sending them to you
again. You will redall that no statements were taken from the
train crew by Mr. Shaft for the reason that he reached the con-
clusion that the 55 reports ought to be sufficient for every
purpose. I do not agree with him about this and I think full
statements should be taken from the engineer and fireman, conductor,
brakeman, baggage master and porter, if the train carried a porter.
I would like also to haye some information with reference to the
nature, extent and probable duration of the injuries sustained by
Slone. While this is a case the Company xiii would probably save
money by settling at $100. or $150. I do not think we ought to
- settle over McDaniel's head, even if a settlement could be brought
about by paying 350?,and then have another suit to defend in the

- ‘ Dear Sir:

Referring to yOur favor of November 7th, addressed to

Mr. Uarfield, enclosing copy of petition and docket report in the
ydzJi~v
case of Preston Slone v. L. & E. R. CO., Betcher Circuit Court.

I am now handing you herewith our file No. 75525 cov—
ering the investigation of the accident in which Preston Slone was
injured near Torrent, Ky. on Sept. 27th,l9l$. While Mr. Landrum,
who knowsnmre about the local conditions than I do at the place where
this man was injured, thinks the Company owes a duty of lookout at
the place where this accident occurred, it does not seem to me,from
the describtion of the place which he gives in his letter to Mr.
Warren of October l8th,any duty of lookout was owing Slone at the
point in question. You, too, are familiar with.the situation at
Torrent and will be better able to judge as to this than either
of us. I am handing you herewith carbon cepy of my letter to Mr.
Landrum of this date. As soon as I hear from him with the report
of his supplemental investigation of the pase the papers will be

' r“? ”i
V /’
forwarded to you promptly. /;;P V€””?§2é;:«ia.1>4rjg:;;z,,E/<___
