that. he heard a crack..like-rifle
fire coming from-the direction of
the half-completed span more
than 12. hours before it: collapsed |-
Into Burrard Inlet June 17s,

Walter Scoradynsky told. a
royal..commission investigating
the collapse that he was paint-
ing outside when he heard -the
noise “like three rifles going off};
simultaneously.”

“It. sounded . like. steel crack-
ing,” he said. "I - know because
I have worked with steel and
have heard railway rails break-
Ing many times.”

He said he did not report the
incident because there was no|
one in authority nearby and be-
cause he had been at: work 13
hours and was tired. He said he
went to bed and when he awoke
he looked out of the window and
saw two spans of the bridge had
collapsed, Eighteen workmen
died in the disaster,

William A, Moore, foreman of
steal construction on the bridge,
rose in the spectators gallery and
asked the witness why he did not
report what he had heard to the
bridge watchman,

“T novor thought of him,” Sco-
radynaky replied. “I was think-

 

ing of someone In authority,”
