kiUed by train A


man who was found dead by toe side of the railway


line at CUtoeroe on FrWay had apparently been taking a khort cut from hls work to hls lodgings and had been struck


'by a train. This 'was revealed at the


Irishman, Mlcljael Desmond [McLemon,' a fitter’s mate, ' lodging in Brownlow Street, 'Cfitoeroe. The East Unca-


i Inquest at Clltheroe on Wed- I jnesday on a 21-year-old


I shire Coroner, Mr. G. Graham, recorded a verdict of “ mls- advent]iire.” ■ •“


McLemon was found by the


fine about a quarter of a mile from Rlbblesdaje Cement Works, where he was working for ’Thomas Ward and Co., Ltd., on the erection of a new kiln, He had been living In Clltheroe for only a fortnight.


Brian McLemon, brother ol


the deceased, said they both lodged in Brownlow Street, and usually travelled to and from work together, but ’on ’Thursday he had left for Ireland, and consequently hls brother would have had to return to the lodgings alone.,


I Sp far as he knew, hls


brother never used;the foot­ bath ibesldei the railway! as a shortcut. The usual practice was- to catch a bus or get a lift into the centre of the town.


i ' P.C. Alexander Duncan said


he had made enquiries among the men atithe cement works, rind had found that the fpot- iiato was used occasionally as & short cut, but It was not a general practice.


I Dr. J. Macdonald said'death was due to shock, coupled !wlth multiple Injuries which; could have been caused by a paksing train.


[•' ■'’The sfatlohmastbr,': Mr. Jaines Stanley Klrkham, said that between 6 p.m. on Decem­ ber 22nd, when McLemon was last seen alive, and 9 a.m. on December 23rd, when


the body was found, 24 trains had passed toe scene of the accident.


Each of; these had been


checked by Transpprt (Jom- mlsslon police, ■ but ; no evidence of'the accident‘had

that McLernbn had . been' using the footpath as a, short cut and had been struck by a railway engine.
