Chester D. (Buck) Moore, 63, radio repairman, 216 East Third avenue,
died in the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic Friday at 12:20 a. m. from
injuries received shortly before 7:30 p. m. Thursday at the Rock
Island Lines trestle spanning Lake Halbert.
Sheriff Rufus Pevehouse, one of the investigating officers, said
that Buford Barton, about 30; T. F. Robinson, about 30, and another
unidentified, friend of Moore, escaped by jumping to the
right-of-way.
Knocked Into Water
Moore, it was stated, was unable to reach the end of the trestle and
sought safety by holding to crossties, but did not get his head low
enough, witnesses advised the sheriff, and was knocked into the
water.
Sam Werner, agent, was notified by the engineer, Lester Latham of
Teague, of the Rocket passenger train arriving at the station at
7:48 p. m. Thursday that he had seen two men jump from the trestle,
but did, not see Moore and the other man involved.
Pulled Into Boat
Atwood Allen and his wife were in a boat near the scene as were
other fishermen and they pulled Moore from the water, brought him to
shore, the sheriff said, and then the critically hurt man was rushed
to the clinic in a Corley ambulance. C. N. Moody and John L. Smith,
also were witnesses, Pevehouse said.
According to the version gathered by Sheriff Pevehouse, the group
had been fishing on the south side of the city reservoir and had
walked across the trestle and had been fishing from the dump, later
deciding to return to the south side. It was while they were going
back south that the speeding passenger train rounded the slight
curve and trapped them before they had reached their starting point.
Barton said he was fishing off the bank and had not crossed the
trestle.
Police Called
City Police John Kelly and W. W. Wiswell were dispatched to the lake
as soon as the railroad officials had contacted the police station.
