When the train approached the Queen Street crossmg, it was orought to a standstill. As- curious passengers leaned out of windows to find out the cause of the trouble, the train officiais, accompanied by the local police sergeant, who happ.ened to be stanamg in the vicinity of the crossing, went through the train and questioned passengers in the carriage in which the lever was seen to be down. No one had seen anyone tampering with
