The two were moving along beside the train which had already begun to draw slowly out of the yards. Mr. Owens crossed over the train amt a few moments later Mr. Durden siated he saw him cross back over on the same side. Almost immediately he started to cross over again, and that was the last he saw of him. he said, until he was told about ten minutes later that he had been killed. Apparently no one on the frelehl train knew of the accident, as the train nulled out and continued on its way to Charleston. A few minutes later Engineer Chaa# Sanders, /i. was coming on to the track with a light engine, discovered the mangled body and immediately made a report. Following the investigation by the coroner the body was taken to a local undertaking establishment, where it was* prepared for burial.
