ROTORUA RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, September 3. The enquiry concerning the Rotorua railway accident was concluded, before District Judge Kettle, to-day. Mr Prendergast, who appeared for the Department, suggested that the most probable cause of the accident was that the Westinghouse brake was not properly applied on the incline. Mr Baume,* on behalf of the men, considered that the most reasonable explanation was that ihe gear had been interfered with by Maoris at Ngatira, it having been stated in evidence that some Maori children had turned on one of the cocks. Mr Kettle said that he would forward his report to the Minister.
