Hickory Daily Record, July 3, 1917
Raleigh, July 3—Officials of the Seaboard Air Line and
representatives of the interstate commerce commission conducting an
investigation into the collision of two freight trains near Franklinton
Saturday resulting in four deaths and the destruction of thousands of dollars
in property, went to Franklinton today. It was expected the officials also
would spend some time there.
G.S. Jacobs of Durham, telegraph operator of Franklinton,
who it is charged was responsible for the wreck because he failed to hold the
northbound train, is still in jail here in default of a bond of $2,000.
The investigation is being conducted behind closed doors and
no information is given out.
