SYDNEY, March 24.
The inquest into the Exeter disaster has concluded. The jury returned a verdict that the accident was caused by Driver Irwin overrunning the home signal at danger. A rider was added that loop should be lengthened to accommodate any train or that a refuge siding should be made at either end. More precaution was necessary in foggy weather.
Irwin was committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter. Bail in the sum of £2OO was allowed. ,
