Body of Harry Wicks brought to this city
Coroner S.A. Mahady of Utica investigated and reported last night that he found the decorations on the truck, to some extent obstructed the view of the tracks. He will probably order an inquest. Applin after the accident said he did not hear any warning signal. Persons living in the neighborhood are said to have reported that they heard a whistle blown as the train approached the crossing.
