    Elmer Daugherty Committed Suicide Coroner’s Jury Says
    Fireman Stops Burlington Train No.17 When He Looks Up and Find Engineer Gone; Evidence Brought Out That He Had Trouble With Burlington.
    Engineer Elmer Daugherty, about 60 years old, who lived at Brookfield, left his throttle of Burlington train No.17 and leaped to his death in East Fork, early this morning, Coroner W. A. Welsh’s jury decided shortly before noon today after hearing evidence in the case.
    The jury was composed of Frank Cook, foreman, H.F. Pike, Dan Davis, Richard Via, D.M. Halliburton and Johnny Brammer.
    Roscoe Cassity, fireman, who was the only man in the engineer with Daugherty after the train left Macon, stated that he saw mothering unusual in Daugherty’s actions and knew of no reason for his being away from his throttle. Cassity described how he was working and all events immediately succeeding his discovery that Dougherty was not at the engine controls.
    It was brought out that Dougherty who had been with the Burlington for 37 years, had an accident about two weeks ago almost at the identical spot of his tragic death and that he was “in trouble” with the company over it.
