THE BOXES AT THE MORGUE
Hundreds or Persons View the Disngured
Bodies OF the Dead.

There was constant procession OF persons
at the Moraue yesterday. all OF them pretend
ing to be looking for missing friends. Many
OF the addresses given by these callers proved.
upon investigation. to be fictitious. They
were given by persons who sought by this
trick to gain admission to the Morgue to
satisfy nero idle or morbid curiosity. The
regular attendants at the Morgue and po-
licemnn had great difficulty In separating tho
idle visitors from those who were actually In
search Of missing friends or relatives. or In
gaining anything like definite information
about missing persons.
Here is list OF the numbered boxes In
which the burned and dlshgured remains
have boon placed for examination and identi-
ncntion. The fret 1--WE Of the bod es were re-
to the Morgue yesterday.
