MANY BODIES FOUND
Searchers For tho Victims Of the New
York Horror Continue Their Sad,
Work.
Their Labor's Well Rewarded,
Thirty Five Bodies Having Been
a... Recovered.

NEw YORK, Aug. 25. The digging for
the dead bodies in the ruins continued un-
interruptedly all last night. except Tor the
rain that fell at periods during the night.
AT S:2o in the morning there was hustle
OF excitement a1hong the workmen that
soon spread to the eager watchers at the fire
line. Another body had been fyund. 1t
was that Of man, and lay beside the tangle
ofpresses at No. 70. 1t was terribly burned
and unrecognizable, unless identity may be
disclosed by the tattered fragments of cloth
ing that but partly covered it.
The work again went on unmarked by in
cident until 7:4O o'clock this morning, when
second body was found, also that of a
man, near the spot where the first was dis
covered. Five minutes later third body
OF man was found in nearly the same
place. Hardly had this been unearthed
when the body of another man was found,
but 1T lay beneath heavy press and it will
be impossible to remove ituntil derrick is
obtained to hoist the press from the ruins.
Almost simultaneously came the discovery
OF fifth body-making twenty-one in all
among the brick and paper at a. It
was that Of large man, but when the face
became visible it was like the others-un-
recognizable. AT o'clock the Italian la
borers were still at work removing the
bricks that buried the body and hindered
its removal. From daylight on the crowd
of spectators at the fire lines gradually in
creased, and at o'clock a densely packed
throng filled every spot that commanded
the slightest view of the blackened ruins.
NO BOILER IN THE BUILDING,
but the presses were not working when the
accident occurred. 1t was due probably to
the faulty construction of the building
One OF the bodies recovered this morning
is believed to be that of John Steinke of
Hoboken
At 1910 o'clock the body found at 8
O'Clock pinned down beneath press was
removed In order to release it, tackle
employed in hosting safes was secured and
was fastened to telegraph pole and the
press raised sufficiently to permit OF the re-
covery of the body. 1t was that of young
man about eighteen or twenty years old.
About ten minutes later the body of anoth-
young man or boy was found almost direct
ly beneath the platform, which latter had
been removed. 1t had been identified as
Ernest D. Shadduck Of Brooklyn, who was
employed by Leibler & Mas. He was six
teen Years old.
Just before these two bodies were taken
from the ruins crowd of people standing
on the steps Of the building opposite the
wreck saw one OF the Italians working in
the ruins stoop over the body of one of the
victims and take something out of the vest
pocket. They shouted to the police and
boy ran across the street and told Policeman
Sweeney, OF the Ninth precinct, who arrest
ed the Italian. He was compelled to show
what he had in his pockets, and the first
thing he pulled out was a silver watch
which he admitted he had ''picked up."
He was taken to the Second precinct station
house, followed by mob. many of whom
shouted Lynch him! Lynch him!" From
the police station he was taken to the
Iombs police court. There he gave his
name as Rosso Sayano. He said he intend
ed TO give the watch to his boss. He was
held for trial.
SIX MORE BODIES
were found in the ruins at o'clock. The
work of the taking them out OF the debris
was completed at 1926 o'clock, when it was
learned that five of the bodies were those Of
women and girls and one that of boy
One of the bodies was identified as Lottie
Helm, twenty-five years old, who worked
with Liebler & Mass. Another as that of
Maggie Quinn. about twenty years old, and
third that Of Mamie Williams, six teen
years OLD. The two first were press girls.
District Attorney Nicholl is CONSIDERING
the question ofindicting the person or per-
sons responsible for the disaster. After
long consultation with his chief assistant,
ex-Sudse Redford, he placed the case in the
hands OF Assistant District Attorney Town
send.
The scenes at the morgue to-day were
similar to those of yesterday. Up to 5
brought to the morgue rom the scenes OF
the diaster. Of these thirteen
HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED
at the morgue by friends or relatives. The
bodies OF those identified as soon as thew
were dug out Of the debris We're not taken
dertakers' shops. Most of the identitica-
tlons were made from the articles OF cloth
ing found on the charred remains
Another body was removed from the
ruins at Ga o'clock. 1t was that of large
and muscular man. about six ieet in height
Snd perhaps l85 pounds weight. The re-
mains We're not much burned, although
somewhat blackened. There was no mu-
tllatlon or any part, and the hair was not
even singed. None Of those at the scene of
the disaster waiting the recovery OF rela-
tions could identity these remains and thew
thirty-f tn body which had been recovered
up to that hour. .a's...-.s
Late this evening the workmen in remov-
ing some timbers revealed the arm, head
and breast of woman. She lay on her
back, and large press crushed her down
with its weight, and rendered the removal
of the body impossible without the use of
derrick. 1t was allowed to remain where
found until tomorrow. A canvas was mcr-
citully thrown over the face, which showed
DO sign of suffering, she probably having
been providentially stunned before the huge
press crushed out her life.
An alarm was sent out from police head
quarters to-day for Louis Rosenfeld pro-
prietor Of the paint store at No. 70 Park
place. He has been missing since the dis
aster, and his brother thinks the fearful
scenes ne witnessed after the crash came
unsettled his mind and that he is wander
ing almlcssly about this or some other
