Braswell, an Employe of the Seaboard, Caught Between Engine and Car and Mashed to Death--Had Been With the Road but Six Weeks. Mr. J. W. Braswell, an employe of the Seaboard, was killed in the local yards at 8:20 o'clock last night by being sideswiped between a moving engine and a stationary box car and crushed to death. The accident occured enar the old coal chute, a hundred yards east of the passenger station. There was no reaar headlight on road engine No. 127, which was being backed down the yards and Mr. Braswell was standing on the step of the tender with a torch in his hand. At the junction point of several tracks Mr. Braswell did not observe a box car standing almost at the place of meeting until it was too late. He was caught between the engine and box car and before the former could be stopped, life had been crushed out from his body. The engine was pulled out and the remains removed to the baggage room, where they remained for some time. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Braswell was a native of Union county, having come to Charlotte to live last January. He secured employment on the Seaboard yards February 20th, being given the position of assistant to the hostler. He was unmarried and is survived by his mother and several sisters and brothers. Since moving to Charlotte he had been making his home with Mr. J. H. Braswell, at No. 805 West Second street. No arrangements for the funeral have yet been made. They will be performed to-day. Mr. Braswell was highly esteemed by his employers and was an efficient and steady young man. He was 22 years of age. Charlotte Observer, 04.01.1907
