clothes hung in rags Five women, all dead
and trampled into an unshapely mass, were
taken from the bottom of the heap. One of
them had been seen in the crush holding
| screaming baby above the heads of
the crowd. As she herself
went down some man had taken
| the baby. 1t was not found
subsequently it was said that man had
been seen carrying a dead baby away, but
the police had no account of it. Baby cloth
ing scattered about gave evidence enough
that weak infants had been in the crush

had helped to her feet at the beginning of
the crush was saved. Richards also escaped
death by desperate efforts. He told the sto-
~ of the disaster afterward.
