that Identification waa possible only by
fragments of clothing.
Six of the victims, all dead, wer dis
covered on the engine pilot where they
lay until removed by the train crew and
passengers. Two others were hurled
through a ragman's shanty with such
fore as to overturn the litt.e structure.
One of thee was Mits Finn, who was

Th train. It Is said by passengers, was

fact that th angina stopped on th sec

the collision occurred, a distance of more
