If I had not beon thrown I would have been
crushed between the tank nnd the cab. I
was badly hurt and after waiting around the
wreck about minutes, f went to
friends of mine with whom I remained a day
,or two, coining to Buffalo last week and
staying here ever since. I might have gone
to Dunkirk before, but I have not boon ablo
to get out so as to go to tho train until today."
In refereuco to bis l&Kura to go homo to
Erie, be said: "When I read tho garbled re-.
lorts iu tho paper of that city, aud that I
was liable to be lynched if I went to Erie, I
was afraid to go to my family. If I wanted
to run away you do not suppose I would
come to Bu Talo, do youi It would seem as
though I am making an effort to clear myself,
aud lor that reason I do not caro to say
anything further until I go before the
coroner." Brewer's statement seems to corroborate
tho story of Conductor Harrison,
placing the blume for the accident on tho
ilugman of Train 41.
