The fig was SO dense that the presence o
the unfortunate men was not discovered un.
til after TIE accident. Their names were
not known, as neither of them could speak
English or German. and all that could be
learned Of them was .hat they and several
ether of their countrymen had stopped al
East Liberty and obtained employment
some three weeks previously, while on their
way to the West.
