An ambulance arrived at the scene and the remains were taken to the B. C. Undertakers' parlors. Forty minutes before the tragedy, Mr. Dawson was on the railway platform. Just after he had glanced at the bulletin board to see that the - train was forty minutes late, he met and greeted a Dally News re porter. Had the train been on lime, there probably would have been no accident. But, as It was, he returned to his nearby office for the Interval and was killed-as he came back to the station again. Witnessed Accident Eye witnesses of the accident hardly believed that Mr. Dawson naa actually oeeen sirucx oy me train, although it was apparent that he must have been. He was seen to i fall on the station platform clear of the engine with a neavy thud. It was Indeed hard to realize mat a serious accident had really occurred Some persons nearby thought It had been somebody xaii-lng from the train. Last night an autopsy over the body was to be perfonned by Dr. L. W. Kergln preparatory to the holding of an Inquest today. The Inquest was opened this morning before Coroner C. L. Monroe and, after the jury had reviewed the body, adjourned until this evening when the taking of evidence of witnesses will be proceeded with.
