Body Recovered.
THE FATAL oAIssox.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. lO.-The most
appalling accident known here in many
years occurred Thursday evening about
9 o'clock, fourteen lives being lost Fol-
lowing is list of the killed: William
+. Haynes. John Knox. James Nc
Adams, Frank Mahar, Pat Naylor,
Thomas Ash, Monroe Bowling, Charles
Chiles, Thomas Johnson. Joseph Cor
don, Hamilton Morris. Thomas Smith,
Frank Soaper and Robert Tyler. The
disaster was caused by the giving away
of caisson No. on the new bridge now
being constructed between Louisville
and Jacksonville. The caisson was
located about 100 yards from the Ken
lucky shore.
The engineers theory of the accident,
which is partially supported by facts OBJ
tanned from the workmen who escaped,
is that the foreman, who, it is alleged,
had been drinking, while attempting to
reduce the air pressure turned the valve
Of the supply pipe too far and the pres
sure on the interior of the caisson be-
came 30 low that the caisson settled in
the mud of its own weight, at the same
time admitting the water.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. ll.-No more
bodies have been recovered at the bridge
caisson since that of Hamilton Norris
was taken from the outer lock of the
entrance shaft Friday morning. Two
other bodies were visible to the men who
brought out the body of Hamilton,
packed in the mud and sand and wedged
between the trap doors of the middle
lock, where they had met death after
escaping from the caisson room
beneath, and in their strug-
gle to get up the shaft haa
jammed the traps and prevented their
own egress. At 10 o'clock Friday night
the air pumps were shut off and the
work OF attempting to reach the in
terror of the caissGR through the shaft
was abandoned. Another caisson will
be sunk alongside the old one. and an
effort be made to reach the interior of
the caisson room in which the fourteen
workmen are entombed, by working

FULL OF ERRORS.
The Cronin Murderers Claim Their Trial
Was "A Farce.

CHICAGO, Jan. l1.-Late yesterday
afternoon Attorneys r. NJ. Wing, Daniel
Donahoe and w. 5. Forrest filed with
the clerk of the criminal court a motion
for new trial in the cases OF Dan
Coughlin, Martin Burke, r O'Sullivar
and John Kunze, convicted of the muir
der of DIR. Cronin. The motion was filed
in accordance with the order of Judge
Mcconnell, before whom the arguments
will be made Monday.
The motion is very long. 1t covers
eleven typewritten pages and assigns
thirty-nine causes OF error In the rulings
OF Judge Mcconnell during the trial
of the case. These grounds of al
legged error embrace every point
contested by the attorneys for the de-
tense. and range from an objection to
the courts overruling the motion to
quash the indictments up to the as
sertion that the defense has, since the
trial, discovered new evidence which
entities them to a new trial.
