just to the south Of these office, are


Office door is at least twenty-five feet
from Mr.. Sage's Office. Nevertheless
the windows were all broken, and
every body in the place was badly
shaken. De Navarro was cut in one
hand by flying glass. The second floor
hallway, leading to Mr.. Sage's Office,
was badly shattered; the floor was COW
cred with debris.
In this hallway, just outside the door
leading to Sage's main office, was found
the shockingly-mangled body of man.
The trunk and legs were in a state
that would have made recognition inn
possible, but the head, which the police
report as having been severed from the
body, showed few marks of the explo-
sion. As the trunk and legs lay in
net of rope brought by the firemen.
they looked like bundle of
ragged old clothes, and were abb
solutely without human semblance.
The man wore pointed
reddish beard. The face looked like
that of man of education. The po-
lice from time to time brought little
clots of blood from the Office and laid
them carefully with the body. There
door, through which the man had ap-
parently been blown. The remains
have been recognized as those of the
dynamiter.
Russell Sage, after the explosion,
groped his way out of the passage.
His face and hands were dripping with
blood. He was almost unconscious.
Two men carried him down stairs and
across Broadway to drug store. A
few minutes later Mr.. Slocum, his
brother-in-law, came rushing down
stairs. His hands were bleeding and
there was a cash on one side of his
head. He was also carried to the drug
store.
Mr.. Sage's clerks, with ringing ears
| and bleeding faces, deafened, blind and
| weak, covered with dust and blood,
staggered out into the hall and fell,
rather than walked down the stairs.
They were cared for at the drug store,
as were others who were injured.
At o'clock a closed carriage drove
up to the drug store. Russell Sage, ac-
compaied by two friends, got into it
and drove away. He refused to speak
of the accident, but one of the gentle
men said: ''Mr. Sage's injuries are not
serious" Mr., Sage walked to the car
riage without assistance His hands
were bandaged. He had his high hat
on, but although his face was blool-
stained, it wore no bandages.
A telephone message later an
nounced that Mr.. Sage is probably
much worse hurt than was at first sup
posed. 1t was necessary to carry him
up the stairs to his door. No one is adj
mitted.
At 1:3O o'clock Coroner Schultze, who
had been notified by telephone, ar
rived on the scene of the explosion.
| He viewed the remains of the dead
gathered up in the net. A few moments
later he gave orders for their removal.
