Newark, New Jersey
Train Accident
July 29, 1872
Another Horror
Late on Saturday night at the same place
[Market street depot, in Newark] and in much the
same manner, John
Hannon, of 118 Market street had both
legs horribly mangled. It is alleged that
the poor fellow was picked up and cast on the
platform and left there for three quarters of an
hour, not one of the rail road people making the
slightest motion to have him removed to a proper
place or to have a surgeon called in A
policeman was more humane. He got a
vehicle and had him taken to the hospital where
he died yesterday afternoon.
