THE FATALITY AT CADOXTONl STATION, 1 INQUEST AND YERDICT. I At the Wenvoe Arms Hotel, Cadoxton. on Friday morning—before Mr. E. B. Reece, coroner-an inquest was held touching the death of Peter Karllsen, who was killed by a train at Cadoxton Station on "Wednesday night. B Johanne B. Holmqvist, master of the barque Beda, said he lived at Landskrona, Sweden. He identified the body as that of Peter Olaf Karllsen, who was a sailor on board ship, and was 23 yearsg of age. i Olof Srensen (whose evidencs was given through! the captain) said he was a seaman on board the Beda, and the accident took place at about six o'clock, hey had, in the afternoon, walked from Barry Dock to Cadoxton with anothe. shipmate named Jansen. They had never been to Cadoxton before, so they wanted to see the place. Shortly before six o'clock, they intended to go back to Barry Dock by train, and wentg to the station for that purpose. Having pro-l cured tickets, they went on to the platform and seeing a train on the other side, witness) being the only one of three who could talkl English, asked some people if it was the train! for Barry Dock, and receiving an answer in thel affirmative, they jumped on to the line, Jansen first,! witness second, and Karllsen last. Jansen go into the train, and something struck witness in| the right arm, sending him to the ground, and! grazing his face. Witness was stupified by thel Slow. He did not seo Karllsen knocked down, but| saw his body picked up and placed in the waiting-gj room. They had been drinking a few glasses of beer, and they were not quite steady. None ofg them had been at the station before, and did not know there was a. subway. Witness could not read English, therefore he could not read any notice board.. B Peter Jansen, whose evidence was also inter-g preted, said he was with the deceased and previous witness on the evening in question. Witness crossed the line, and, running down be- tween the lines, got up to the end of the passenger train on to the platform, and was sitting in the train when the accident happened. While he was in the train talking to a German gentleman, he law the goods train come in. and saw the witness 3vensen swing around between the two trains, md someone from the same compartment as wit- less put out his hands and drew him on to the carriage steps. When he walked back to the itation he saw Karllsen lying between the two | i strains. He had never been in England before, andgj ghnxl never seen any subways. The deceased hadp Ebeeii in England before. fl | Thomas White, of 2. Richmond-street, |Barrv Dock, in the employ of the Barry Company, gsaid he was driving a mineral train from Barryjgj QDock to Wenvoe, on Wednesday evening, passing^ ^through Cadoxton station at about ten minutes tog 1isix o'clock. "Witness was looking ahead, but didg not see any one jumping on to the platform, ity being verj dark at the time. However, he heardp something being struck, and put on the brake|| whistling also for the guard to apply his brake. Thel train was stopped before it had proceeded another! pahundred yards. The train was proceeding at tliea Ijusual rate of between 12 and 15 miles an hour.f? <■4Witness and the guard proceeded along the six-footS away, and found the deceased lying on his back.| SHe was not dead, but died while being carried tofi! ^the waiting-room. | H Obadiah Thomas Rees, guard of the passenger! Strain which was at the station, heard the driver^ whistling for brakes, while he was collectings tickets, and getting between one. of the carriages! and casting his light saw the deceased lying on| the ground. | P.C. David Roberts said he saw the body lying in| the ladies' waiting-room, and subsequently had it| removed to the Wenvoe Arms Hotel stables. There* were cuts on the left side and also on the back of| the head. All the injuries were in the head, those| at the back of the head being more serious. K David Howells, station-master, said that usually^ there was a porter placed at the end of the plat-| corm to warn passengers about crossing to the| opposite platform by other means than the subway,! e P.C.

Addressing Inspector Rees, the Coroner remarked! as the gentlemen of the Press kindly attended thel inquests in the district it would be a very good ideal to put them on the juries. |

T. Dando and^ gSons, Cadoxton. Mr. T. II. Belcher (Cardiff) prose-g Kcnted, and Mr. J. H. Jones (Cardiff) defended.^ ^The greatest interest was manifested in the pro-p« ^ceedings. the spacious coffrt being crowded duringM Pthe hearing of the case. r<a Upon the case being called on- Mr. Jones asked^ ^.thr.t the witness for the prosecution should court, which was allowed- Eg m Mr. Jones, addressing the BeTlch, said he elected,^ fef the Bench thought a privui f"<;i'' case were madeg*j ^out, to let the defendants go for trial to thel| ^Quarter Sessions, as he had l'0Wer under the P OPENING STATEMENT )3Y MU. BELCHER. gj H Mr. Belcher proceeded r|P0Ii the case, stating^ gat hat he appeared on behalf °f_the three plaintiffs^ Mwlio had made a complaint against the defendants^ lithat they had committed °ffence mentioned, ^His friend (Mr. J. H. JoHes) having elected that||j «the defendants should 11 ot" take their trial^ pthere, had tended to some extent to|i Pmake the task of the considerably easier,|| Sand if he (Mr. Belcher) laid before their worships^ ^sufficient evidence for a Pr>ma facie case, Svrould, of course, have to send the case for trial.^ pThe offence was laid u»d-er the Conspiracy and^ ^Protection of Property A^t, 1875, and sub-section^ gl said, Every person who, with a view to compfcl|| «fany other person to abstain from doing or to dop| any act which such other person has a logal right,f,. ||or abstain from doing wrongfully and without^ ||legal authority, uses violence or intimidates sueh|| other person." He did not propose to jljenter into any violent speech in reference to|§ ^that particular strike, ^11 he had to say wasj|| ggjthat, following the language of the Statute, a ijjhad a right to work if pleased he had a legal|| Eright, even if a strike ^vor_e pending, and he had a|| Slegal right, even if he disagTecr} with a strike, toff pursue his avocation peacefully and in order. One Rjof the complainants had been in the same Hfor seven years, and had a wife and seven l|and he certainly had a Perfect right to labour Shis family, notwithstanding that he disagreed withS| the object of the strike. The facts of the caseg rewere very simple. His instructions were that thereli Bhad been actual and direct intimidation, jgjwero sufficiently dangerous as to frighten gfrom pursuing th<?ir avocation. A strike ofra Kpainters had been pending in the district, and onjB MYew Year's Day the three plaintiffs, who were men ■in the employ of Messrs. Dando and Sons, and who|S Hwere anxious to continue their work, proceeded to-|| Hgether along Holton-road in the direction of the Hwhere they had to w°rk, the time being about half-|| Spast seven in the morning. When about a Svards away from work they were about to do,g| fflthey saw in front of them, as though they were§| ■waiting for them- about twenty or twenty-five ofH Hthe strikers. When the complainants work, the strikers formed into a line andiffl lathen encircled them. Plaintiffs were asked if ffiwere going to work, and on replying in the affir-fflj Ifmative they w^re pushed and hustled, and pone shouted out. 11 What are we going to do Sthem, chaps V\ Howells, who was the secretary ofB lithe men, and who, in that capacity, should^ ave been a peaceably-disposed person, then, soffl ||he was instructed, went up to Bishop and said,H gladding a bad expression, u You ought to be to pieces." 111; the midst of a lot of men and all ■crowd of partisans, to use that expression theirs ^Worships vv^nid see how highly improper it was.M raand how it. tended to incite fear and terror^ Wand a poss^e breach of the peace Kthem. One the plaintiffs begged to beB Sallowed to jSf° work, but they were asked gjjjthey did not come out on strike. The answer was.Bj g Because ife don't choose to," and then someoneH a said, No, you b-s, you don't go to work." PThat kind of conduct went on for ffltime, and Jeffries kicked Bishop in then Hankie. 1'he effect of such conduct was that™ Bthe three men were prevented from Bto work. The conduct became so turbulent, andH Bthe three merL so apprehensive that at last theywj Bhad to return to the shop. There were certain^ Kletters, which also amounted to intimidation, butfij «he purposed relying upon the forgoing facts. In aS| replace like Cadoxton, where men like the Bwere in a minority, the object of the proceedings!! Bwas to allow them to proceed with their work|| Bpeaceably and quietly. It was not owing to feeling that the proceedings had been imtituted. NWhile 10611 had a perfect right to strike in order torn Kattain the object of their desires, at the same time his clien^s had a perfect right to object to lepving^ gwork if they desired, and they had a perfect rightp Eto be protected by the law. || S SCENES IN COURT. || g Edward Francis was the first witness called.^ ||jje gaid he was a painter, in the employ of Messrs M iDando and Sons, and lived at 11. Oban-streetJ| ^Cadoxton. He corroborated the opening statements |Lf jlr.

He was accommodated with a seat wthe solicitors' table, and in that position resumed!! fail's evidence. B Mr. Belcher resumed his examination of the^ witness, when || S Mr. J. H. Jones interposed, and asked his laiot to lead the witness. k HT The Bench The question is a perfectly proper Pone. Let us have no more of this wrangling. EH g| Cross-examined I lodged the information iplr. Dando, and, with the two other plaintiffs andH Mr. Dando, instructed Mr. Belcher. Mr. Dander Sjdid not particularly suggest that glshould be taken. jSj gj Mr. J. H. Jones Who is bearing the expenses! lof these proceedings ? Is it not Mr. Dando ? ™ B Witness Yes, it is. gfj B Mr. Jones And during the whole of your inter-j3 views with Mr. Belcher, has not Mr. Dando beenfil present ? Hj The Chairman We can't go into that. 11 Cross-examination continued He had been ara member of the • Painters' Society. He did not think the. bustling against him was intended. It was accidental, and he did not think any violence I was directed against himself. He would not swear JS that any of the six defendants used the threaten-^ „ing words mentioned, with the exception of ■Howells said to Bishop. There was a deal of rusli-S; ing on the part of the crowd to see plaintiffs.^ Mr. J. H. Jones You were late that morning, were you not.' gj Witness Yes. jp I Mr. J. H.

Jones I beg your pardon, sir, but thes| lease is in my hands. jg | Witness, in reply to a further question, |there was no threat of violence against him by a|l Ssingle member of the crowd. ra | Sidney Morgan corroborated the evidence of thefe iprevious witness. In cross-examination he |there was some talk about it being nn-| Ifair for the three of them to go back|| |to work when the others were all onps Bstrike. He was almost certain that it was not^ ieither of the defendants who suggested thatjj| gwitness should be thrown into the dock. He did|& |not tell the defendant Washer on a previous occa-p |sion that he was very sorry for the position theS! Istrikers were in. P 1 Sidney Bishop, the other plaintiff, also gave evi-p |<lence, and said he had been five weeks in thep |employ of Messrs. Dando. He corroborated that^ |Howells had made use of the language attributed^ |to him, said he saw Smith pushing also swore to« |Jeffries deliberately kicking witness on the ancle. || I Cross-examined witness said he was not a mem-jjjg |ber of the Society, but he afterwards admitted^ Rthat he had paid his entrance fee. He did notcomeEj lout on strike or sign the strike roll.—Upon Mr. J. H.|| I Jones producing the skrike book, witness admittedly Ithat his signature was attached to it, but said he|j «did not understand what he signed. At Mr.|| aHowells's request he attended a strike meeting- 0" abut being deaf he did not hear what was said. K 1 Mr. Belcher A very good thing too. (Laughter.)p 8 Mr. J. H. Jones (to witness) Why did you signfe ache book ?—Witness Because a mate of mine who^ was with me signed it too.$ S Do you mean to tell the court that you did not|j |#know that it was a meeting of strikers which youl| ^attended.—I do. (y. 1 Mr. O. H. Jones Whether he struck work org not. he has a perfect right to go back to work. E |j On being further cross-examined witness said heal fjdid not see Howells in anj* way attempt to put hispjjj Ithreats into execution, but he saw him clench his| ^fists. None of the other men attempted anyjjj ujviolence. a Mr. O. II. Jones "ft hat were you afraid of then.a | Witness Of getting kicked. | s| General Lee You said first now that no viclenceS Swas attempted. | a Mr. Belcher They don't think kicking violence;^ here. (Laughter.) A Mr. J. H. Jones proceeded to address the bencha Mr. J. H. J ones proceeded to address the bencha I for the defenpe, and said there was absolutely nol case against either of the men. He thought that.fe after hearing ^he evidence of the numerous wit-tl nesses for the defence, their worships would sayjs that there was no case to go for trial. The]^ ^strikers were at the spot mentioned for an ab->^ Bsolutely lawful purpose—viz., picketting. From^j Sstart to finish there was nothing approaching^ |violence of any sort. With the exception of tlie| jjgevidence of one of the strikers named Miles acci-fc identally pushing the defendant Washer on to onefcj Sof the plaintiffs, there was no violence, no threat-l gening. no intimidation, end no obstruction. The| istrikers simply argued with the complainants, andj» the three latter went back. John Miles was called for the defence, and saidfc he was one of the painters on strike. He denied^ Sthe whole of the allegations put forward by theg ^witnesses for the prosecution, and stated the strik-^ gers simply used moral suasion, and by that means^ persuaded them to go back. During his cross-ex-^ lamination witness adhered to his previous evidence,^ land his smart sallies with Mr. Belcher caused some! Ijamusement. p S Louen Jones, a compositor, in the employ of thep giSVii/f/i 11V'Star Company, said he lived at 53.1 oMain-street, Cadoxton. On the morning in ques-| Btion he was walking from Barry to Cadox-| ||ton. lie passed a body of men whom hei gjtook to be the painters out on strike, and| palso saw three men, two of whom he nov,-| ^recognised to be the plaintiffs, coming up the road.R aKnowing there was a strike witness stopped, andl ^standing at a distance of about thirty yards. saw| IJboth parties converse. If there had been any louda Stalking he would have heard it distinctly. How-1 Bever, he heard the words il wives and children "| ^mentioned. He did not hear any angry discussion! gat all. They appeared to be talking in an ordinary! gjmanner, there being apparently nothing unusual.! SThere was no pushing, shoving, or striking of any | Ssort. He could see the back of the three plaintiffs Bthe whole time. In three or four minutes the Sthree men returned. H Cross-examined I stood still and watched out jSof curiosity. There was nothing in the demeanour Sof the crowd which led him to expect any row.l gtThere was no pushing through the crowd. 1 8 By General Lee The three men did not move! Ifrom one side of the road to the other the whole! atime, and if any evidence to that effect had beenS Sgiven it was not true. | f William Evans, a carpenter, who was working anear the spot, corroborated very clearly the evi-| Sdence of the previous witness. He gave his| Bevidenca in Welsh, which was interpreted byl Inspector Rees. He said he heard one of the three ■men say that he was sorry he had come down thatl Emorning. | I Cross-examined He watched from the windows Bof the place where he was working, because he j jgsaw the painters go by, and he thought some- Hthing was up. 8 George Peters, 19, Churchill-terrace, Cadoxton, j ||having given evidence, jj 9 A legal discussion ensued between the chairman I land Mr. J. H. Jones, the latter asking that the ■whole of the evidence should be heard before thei gfbench decided there was a j>rima facie case. H 1 The Bench adjourned the case for a fortnight.! gThe court then rose, after having sat for seven! ■hours.. i
