Blaine Brim was hauling gravel from a lot, a quarter of mile north of Sixth avenue on Weaver street, to Eighteenth avenue east of the Burlingame road, where the road is being surfaced. Brim had left the gravel pit on Weaver street and was driving north across the Santa Fe tracks when the train struck the truck. Brim's body was carried nearly 150 yards and parts of the truck were found about 300 yards from the crossing, according to those who arrived soon after the wreck. The truck was demolished. The train was stopped and the body was brought to Emporia. Dr. C. E. Partidge, coroner, and Tom Owens, sheriff, assembled a coroner's jury Tuesday afternoon and the jurors viewed Brim's body at the Sutton funeral home Tuesday night. The jury will visit the crossing this afternoon at an inquest will be held at the Sutton funeral home this evening at 7 o'clock. Members of the jury are J. P. Parrington, C. H.

Brim, who was killed Tuesday afternoon in a railway crossing accident east of Emporia, will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Sutton funeral home. Rev. Claude D.

"We, the undersigned jurymen, under oath at the inquisition concerning the death of Blain Brim, here lying dead, do find that the said Blain Brim came to his death by being struck by Santa Fe passenger train No. 21, on December 16th, 1930, at 2:37 p.m." Dr. C. E. Partridge, coroner, conducted the inquest. Ten men who were working at the time of the accident near the crossing where Brim was killed, were called before the jury to testify. A statement made by Charley Jones, engineer on No. 21 was read to the jury. "None of the ten workers testified they heard the train whistle blow at the crossing," Dr. Partridge said. "However, the engineer reported that the whistle was blown." In his statement, Charley Jones said he blew the whistle for the crossing and the truck driven by Brim approached on the fireman's side of the engine. When the fireman, R. R. Asher, saw the truck he blew the whistle again, according to Guy Vail, chief clerk at the Santa Fe, who read the statement. Members of the coroner's jury were: H. L. Crockett, foreman; J. P. Carrington, C. H. Dabbs, Tom Bennett, Walter Schureman and Jack Richards. The jurors viewed the crossing Wednesday afternoon.
