They said thatKelly might have turned the signals to Ninth Avenue whenhe saw his error. Both officials are said to stamp as non-sense a report that when the man in the switch tower sawthat the train was making the curve at full speed, and knowingthat an error had been made, he threw the switch, thus derail-ing the cars. They said that it would have been impossible forthe towerman to throw the switch while the cars were on thetrack. The towerman surrendered to the authorities soon. after.
