Charles Humbertson
HUMBERTSON, Chas.
Lonaconing Bureau,
"Mr. Chas. Humbertson was killed by engine No. 19 about 1:30 a.m. yesteday on the C. & P. Railroad, near Pink Row. Acting Coroner C. S. Murphy summoned a jury of inquest, composed of the following gentlemen: Wm. B. Bradley, foreman; Lloyd Durst, Jas. B. McAlpine, Andrew Spier, Peter McFarland, Daniel J. Murphy, Patrick Mansfield,, John Heron, Wm. Relber, Wm. Travis, Jno. Smith, D. R. Sloan. The jury viewed the remains and adjourned to meet in C. S. Murphy's office at 7 o'clock to hear the testimony of witnesses.
Mr. Wm. Whitefield and J. N. Howard testified that they passed the point where the man was killed a short time after 1 o'clock a.m. and did not know that anything had happened until they reached the Georges Creek mine where they were informed that their engine had killed a man at Pink Row.
Dr. J. O. Bullock examined the remains and found [the] body cut in two just above the hip bones. Found no bruises, except a slight wound on the right arm and one on the scalp, neither of which would have caused death. The doctor's testimony clears away any suspicion that Mr. Humbertson was dealt with in a foul way, and the body placed on the track to hide the crime.
Mr. David Creighton testified that he was with Mr. Humbertson from 7 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. and separated from him at Love's corner, and that while Mr. Humbertson had several drinks of beer while in his company, he was in a condition to take care of himself; that he had no quarrel with any one; that he had no enemies, so far as he knew, who would molest or waylay him.
Lawson Creighton testified in a similar way, and corroborated the testimony of the former witness.
John Rankin testified that he was with Mr. Humbertson from 8 p.m. to about 12:30 a.m. and separated from him at Central School, when Mr. Humbertson crossed the bridge, at that point on his way home; that Mr. Humbertson was able to take care of himself; that they parted in friendship and that no enemity[sic] existed against Mr. Humbertson, so far as he knew. Jno. Rankin corroborated the testimony of his brother.
Bailiff Thos. Allerdice was talking to the deceased on Main street about 12:30 a.m. and advised him to go home; but he was not drunk, but was able to take care of himself.
D. A. Edward, agent for the C. & P., testified that the night operator reported the train that killed Mr. Humbertson as extra east No. 19, at Lonaconing at 1:24 a.m.
The verdict of the jury was that Mr. Humbertson came to his death by engine No. 19, of the C. & P. R. R., at Pink Row crossing, and that it was an unavoidable accident, and exonerated the company from all blame." August 25, 1905 The Cumberland Evening Times
