The inquest into the death of Jam es Vanderzweit, the motor man, w h*» was killed in the head-on collision of two trolley cars o f the New York and Long Island Trolley Company, at Valley Stream, was concluded before Acting Coronor Wallace at Lynbrodk Friday afternoon. — s A number of witnesses were ex amined, among whom was Jam e s P. Kineon, superintendent of the trolley company, who was recalled. He sta t ed that had conductor Max Gelb and motorman George Seeley, who were in charge of the ill-fated car 57, obeyed the printed and well-known rules of the company, it would have been im possible for the accident to have oc curred. Upon the conclusion of taking testi mony, Coronor W allace's decision was that Gelh and Seeley were both repson- sible for Vanderzweit’s death, and he held thorn each under, two thousand dollars bail, Mi a charge of man slaughter in the second degree, to aw ait the action of the Grand Jury. Bail was furnished in each insrtanp miles each day, prize going to the best aggregate showing for the two days. The start is to he made on the Jericho turnpdke, thence to Jericho, to East Norwich, to Bulls Head, to A lbertsons’ to Lakeville, to New Hyde Park and hack along the Jericho turnpike to the starting point. This course would avoid the most dangerous features of that over which last year’s cup race pWas held, including the turn a t K rug’s, where a spectator was killed. It is proposed to have twice as many special deputies patrolling the course as were employed last Fall, the entire policing to be done by the Association. C o r o n e r s Lock H o r n s Acting Coroner Archer B. Wallace is taking stringent methods to obtain the effects of Jam es A. R. Vander- zweip, who, on August 8, was injured in a collision at Valley Stream of two cars of the New York and Long Island Traction Company. Vanderzweip was motorman of the wrecked car and was taken to the Jam aica Hospital, but was dead when the hospital was reached. His death occurred in Queens County and his effects were taken in charge by the coroner of Queens. The dead man’s property was o b tain ed at his home in Hempstead by Thos. Prendeville, one of the staff of the Queens coroner’s office. Mr. Wallace says that he should have entire charge of the case, and that he-had held two inquisitons al ready. He demands that,t,he effects he turned over to him at once or he will know the reason why. Coio.ier Samuel D. N u tt of Queens County, who had gvien the orders to Mr. Prendeville to take possession of Vanderzweip’s belongings, on the strength that the man had died within the confines of Queens County, while on the way to the hospital, declares that he does not propose to turn over the effects to the Nassau coroner, nor does he care what action the latter may take in the m atter. He avers that he will hold the in quest himself, as the law compels him to, and he sent word to th a t effect - to Mr. Wallace. It has been learned that the dead motorman, was the son of a man con nected with the court of justice of the Holland West Indies, and that his uncle, A. L. (’. Kleyn, is in The Hague. Both have been in communi cation with the coroner’s office of Queens\. -Eagle. Letter to (j. M. Hewlett & Co. Freeport, L. 1.
