ioor of the house.
One of the bombs exploded with a ter

thrown, completely lost all presence of

Men and women fought with each other
as they crushed the weaker ones be-
meath their feet in the effort to escape,
leaving the wounded and dying behind

drawer hearts who remained faithful to
their dear ones.
In this wild rush many old people and
children were severely injured through
being trampled under foot, while others
were severely bruised and crushed by
the outpouring crowd. People jumped
from the boxes among the audience.

could from the galleries. though they
