A magisterial inquiry was commenced yesterday, before the Police Magistrate, into the circumstances surrounding the death of Charles Worrall Slater, who was killed at Thozet's Creek Bridge, Koongal, on Wednesday afternoon last. Sub-inspector Toohey conducted the inquiry, and Mr. R. R. Jones (Messrs. Rees R. and Sydney Jones) appeared on behalf of the Railway Department.

John Kelly, acting-sergeant of police, stationed at Lake's Creek, said on Wednesday, the 16th instant, the train arrived at Lake's Creek from Rockhampton at 1-50 p.m.; a report was made to him that day before he went to the railway station; be was shown the dead body of a man in the guard's van ; the body was that of Charles Worrall Slater ; he examined the body and saw a large wound on the forehead about 2 in. long and nearly 1 in. deep into the bone ; he had the body removed to the railway shed at Lake's Creek, and on further examination he saw the right arm was broken between the shoulder and elbow, and the right shoulder blade was dis- located ; the wound on the forehead was over the right eye; he searched the body and found 18s. 10d. in silver and a pocket knife, which he now produced ; he conveyed the body to the Hospital Morgue, and it was identified by Harold Slater, the deceased's son ; he reported the occurrence to the Police Magistrate the same day.

John Radford, carpenter, residing at Koongal, near Lake's Creek, said soon after half - past one o'clock on Wednesday, the 16th instant, he was in his house about thirty-five yards from the railway line; he heard the train's ordinary whistle and then followed a danger whistle ; witness went on to the back landing when he heard the danger whistle, and he saw a man on the bridge over Thozet's Creek ; the man was running at that time in the centre of the bridge, and then he crossed to the left band side on the end of the sleepers ; the man appeared to be making for the head- stock of the bridge to get out of the way ; he saw the man stoop down, but he could not say if he were on the sleepers s or on the head- stock of the bridge ; the man was about 120 yards away from witness then; the man was facing towards the rails when he stooped down, and was sideways on to the train ; the cow-catcher of the train struck the man, and he was knocked into the water, which was 3ft. ot 4 ft. below the bridge; witness went down his back steps and swam across to the railway line ; the ground between the rail- way line and witness's house was under water; the train pulled up before witness got over to the line; part of the train was on the bridge when it pulled up ; the guard's van and part of one of the carriages was on the bridge, and he saw the guard reach down and pull the man out of the water ; the man was unconscious, but he was alive; witness assisted the guard to lift him into the guard's van ; he died almost immediately ; the body was taken on to Lake's Creek and handed over to Acting sergeant Kelly ; at the time he heard the danger signal the train was over 100 yards from the man on the line ; the train was slackening speed from the time it first started to whistle ; if a man stood on the headstock he would be out of danger when a train passed, but if he stood on the sleepers he would not be safe ; crossing over this bridge was the only way to get to town as Thozet's Creek was in flood, and that was why it was used by foot passengers ; witness was caught in the centre of the bridge once when a train was coming, and he got down on to the headstocks out of the way.
By Mr. Jones: He did not know the length of the bridge; the engine was not on the bridge when he first noticed it ; he thought the man was on the deadstock when he stooped down, and he was surprised to see him get struck as he thought he was out of danger ; the top of the headstocks projected 2 ft. beyond the line and were 2 ft 6 in. from the top of the line ; the headstocks were 15in. wide, and there was plenty of room to stand on them.

Henry Greig, labourer, residing at Koongal, near Lake's Creek, said on Wednesday, the 16th instant, at about 1:30 pm , he was on the railway line between the cattle pit and the Thozet's Creek bridge ; the cattle pit was at the level crossing on the Lake's Creek side of the bridge; his attention was attracted by the danger whistle from the Emu Park train ; he looked round and saw a man stooping down on Thozet's Creek bridge; be saw the train approach and knock the man into the water ; the train pulled up sharply and witness got on the bridge and assisted the guard to lift the man into the van; witness got into the guard's van and went on to Lake's Creek; when he heard the danger whistle the man on the bridge was 100 or 120 yards off the tram ; the train seemed to be pulling up and stopped before it got over the bridge; the man was struck by the front of the train or the cow catcher; witness was fifty or sixty yards away.

By Mr. Jones . He knew the man's name was Slater , he did notice him walking on to the bridge ; the danger whistle stopped blowing before the train stopped ; Slater was stooping on the end of the sleeper, and was facing the train towards North Rockhampton ; he saw the wound on the man's right eye; deceased was in a kneeling position, and he was facing the approaching train. The Police Magistrate: He must have struck his dead when he fell. Dizon Gillespie, engine-driver, said he was driving the Emu Park train on Wednesday, 16th instant, and left North Rockhampton at 1:35 pm.; when he got past Kalka Creek crossing he saw a man in dark clothes near Thozet's Creek bridge ; the man was on the footpath alongside the line, about two or three chains off the bridge ; he saw the man several times before he reached the curve at the western end of Thozet's Creek bridge ; he blew the ordinary whistle at the curve, and could then see that the bridge was clear of all pedestrians ; when he got round the curve he saw a man on the foot planks of the bridge about five chains ahead of him ; he shut off steam and applied the vacuum brake and opened the alarm whistle; the man started to run across the bridge ahead of the train and when he got to the centre of the bridge he stepped out on to the end of the sleeper and partly laid down ; just before the engine reached him witness lost sight of him as he was on the north side of the line ; witness said to the fireman, " Did we hit him; " the fireman said, " Yes, he is in the water " witness then released the brake so as to try and get the train off the bridge and go back to rescue the man out of the water ; when the train stopped the van and half of a carriage were left on the bridge ; witness and the fire- man ran back, but they saw Samuel George, the guard, pull the man out of the water ; witness went back to the engine and pulled the train off the bridge and the man was placed in the guard's van and conveyed to Lake's Creek, where it was handed over to the police.; from the time he first saw the man on the bridge he used every effort to stop the train and also reversed the engines when going on to the bridge to assist in retarding the motion of the train.

By Mr. Jones : When he reached the curve he was going at the rate of twenty-four miles an hour ; that was the ordinary pace on the favourable portions of the road ; with the load he had on and the damp rails, which made it harder to stop, he could pull up the train in nine or ten chains ; the train could stop much quicker on dry rails ;when he last saw the man he was stooping down, with his back to the railway line; the man appeared as if he were going to dive into the water and was facing the water ¡ the man had hold of the transom and had his head away from the train.

Sub-inspector Toohey: If the man had kept on running do you think he would have got off the bridge?--Witness: I believe he would have.

Mr. Jones: what speed were you going at when you struck the man? - Witness: About five miles an hour.

David McQuitty, fireman on the Emu Park line, said on Wednesday, the 16th instant, he was fireman .se the train that left North Rockhampton at 1:30 p.m.-; after passing Kalka Creek crossing he saw a man on the footpath near the line ; the man was about three or four chains from Thozet's Creek bridge, and was going towards Lake's Creek ; he saw the man go on the bridge and the driver shut off steam and applied the brake; witness applied his tender brake and the driver opened the alarm whistle; the man was walking on the bridge when witness saw him, and after the alarm whistle was sounded he started to run; the man stopped at the centre of the bridge and got over on to the end of the transom opposite a headstock, and seemed to be trying to get on to a headstock ; the man had his head towards the water, and the cow-catcher struck him on the legs; the man struck the headstock with his head and fell into the water ; the man was just pushed off the line with the cow-catcher, as the train was only going about four miles an hour ; he told the engine-driver they struck the man, and the train was pulled up ; the man was taken out of the water and placed in the guard's van and handed over to the police at Lake's Creek ; the brakes were applied before the danger whistle sounded, and every effort was made to give him warning.

Samuel George, railway guard, said he was the guard on the train that left North Rockhampton for Emu Park on Wednesday, the 16th instant, at 1*30 p m ; on crossing Kalka bridge he bad a clear view of Thozet's Creek bridge and it was perfectly clear, when within five chains of the bridge the driver sounded the alarm , witness looked and saw a man running on the bridge, witness felt the brakes were being applied to stop the train, he lost sight of the man after seeing him run ahead of the train , he next saw the man in the water, when the van passed the man witness got on to the headstock of the bridge and pulled him out of the water , the man was breathing and he had a deep cut about 2 in long in the forehead ; the man died on the way to Lake's Creek and the body was handed over to the police , it was about the centre of the bridge where he picked the man out of the water , the ordinary whistle was sounded about twenty chains from Thozet's Creek bridge.

Harold Slater, saddler's assistant, residing in Rockhampton, said he saw the dead body of his father in the Rockhampton Hospital Morgue on Wednesday night last, his father left home at a quarter to twelve o o'clock that day and was going to Lake's Creek, his father was pretty deaf and could not hear well, and was more affected in damp weather than in fine weather.

Mr Jones: There are two men who met him on the bridge, and they should be called as witnesses. Their names are J. Clancy and M Connor, of Lake's Creek

Sub-inspector Toohey: Yes, Clancy told Slater not to go over the bridge, but he thought he had time to get over. It is of little value.

The Police Magistrate: They had better be called. It shows contributory negligence in case there is an action brought against the department. They are necessary for Mr Jones's case.

The Police Magistrate: I wonder if the department would object to the Gogango Divisional Board putting a footway on that bridge?

Mr. Dunbar (Traffic Manager) It could not be put on. Mr Jones: The North Rockhampton Council were given permission to put a plank there, but they had to take all risks and look after the pedestrians who went on.
The Police Magistrate: They should have a man there.

Mr. Jones: I believe they have got one at each end now.

The inquiry was here adjourned until Wednesday (to-morrow) morning
