Mr. James (Bus) R. Rattenbury.

The accident occurred about 5.1a as he was employed with a train. crew switching cars at Borden. He wus run over accidentally by the train and died \vlthln a few min- utes. Later in the jury found that til? death was ac- cidental and cbso ved the train crew from all blame.

The evidence indicated that Wil- frccl Burns of Freetown and Ar- thur w. Jay of Borden were pier-k- in: with the deceased as brake- men. They were switching cars from a train which had Just come up from the pier. Rattenburv was the rear end brakeman. The train, backing up on track three. had sioppzd to permit Rattenbury to open the switch to truck four.

Other members of the train crew said he gave the go ahead signal and the train moved back. Burns, who was th¢ next braketnsn from the rear noticed that the train remained on track three and then he saw Ratienburyb body under the train. He immediately signalled a stop and called the R. C.M.P. and Dr. Schaplra. Police and medical aid arrived in about five minutes. The doctor said that the dccease was alive when he reached the scene but died with- in a few minutes- He said death kvns caused by shock due to lniur-

Acting coroner P.J. Mclnnls. who conducted the hearing, quee- iioned the tralnmen as to how the accident occurred. Neither of the Oiliﬁl‘ two brakeman saw the acci- dent.

The men wurkng with Rattenbury testified that was quite normal yesterday morning.
