More Bodies in the Collapsed New
York Building.
TON AFTER TON OF DEBRIS REMOVED
All Night Long the Work Went
Slowly On.
MANGLED REMAINS FOUND

a
NEW YORK, August 9.-The work of
clearing ay the wreckage of the col
lapsed eight-story building at West Broad
way and West Sd street was continued all
night and one more body has been found.
Ton after ton of debris was removed. The
men started in their work assiduously, be-
ginning with the huge pile the front of
the building facing West Sd street. Many
times they came upon clots of blood, and
then they renewed their efforts to reach
the body from which it flowed. Blood was
found to be scattered everywhere, showing
the men supposed to be buried beneath the
pile of ruins must have been dead before
they reached the cellar in their fall.
Slow Work.
The work slow. fer every pound OF
the great pile had to be turned over.
Contractor Gallgan said that judging
from the way things looked this morning
It will be at least several days before all
the wreckage can be turned over.
All night long and up to the present time
tie friends and relatives of the men sup
posed to be beneath the pile of ruins were
et the scene, anxious to have their fate
determined.
At $50 this morning two of the men
turned over a piece of twisted iron which
had been bent out of all shape and discov-
cred q clot of blood. Not much attention
was paid to this fact. for there had been
30 many other just such clots exposed.
Near this clCt, however, was shoe. In
the shoe and encssed in black stocking
was a human foot. 1t was taken to the
street and laid upon the sidewalk. Near
by where the tCot was found was also dis
covered a shoe, the mate to the one encas-
ing the foot.
Missing Foot Found.
When the body of Charles Peterson was
taken from the ruins last. night one foot,
the right one, was discovered to have been
torn from the body and the other foot was
bare. The foot found this morning
the one torn from the leg of Peterson, the
electrician. and the shoe was torn from the
other foot. The foot looked if it had
been torn and not cut from the leg. 1t is
supposed that when the man fell he was
struck on the leg by the twisted piece of
iron. which tore his foot off in the de-
scent.
The workmen kept steadily at work, but
nothing else found of interest until
nearly o'clock. Then gang of the work
men came upon the legs of man which
were sticking out from under pile of
bricks. The work was concentrated on
this spot, and after half an hours work
the body was lifted to the surface and
taken to the street.
Horribly Mangled.
1t was horribly mangled and every bone
was broken The face was SO cut and
swollen that it was almost beyond recogni-
ton. Although several persons who claim
cd to have missing relatives under the
wreck looked at 1t. none of them recognized
the anybody belonging to them.
The man evidently a plasterer The
body was covered over to await the
rival of the dead wagon to take it to the
morGue, unless it Is identified before hand
The workmen have not yet reached the
spot where most of the bodies are believed
to be lying. Most of the workmen who lost
bot. ill.,
near the center of the building when the
crash came, and most of the bodies are ex-
pected to be found near the center.
That there are many bodies beneath the
ruins there IL no doubt. None of the men
reported to have been lost have reported
themselves alive, and it is believed that
there at least ten bodies which will be
discovered before the ruins have been turn
cd over by the workmen.
The bodies of two more victims were dis
covered in the ruins shortly before noon.
One was identified as that of Michael
Flynn. His body was drawn from beneath
Q mass of wreckage on the first floor. The
other body was unidentified. This was
found beneath the first floor.
Among the list of missing last night was
the name of Michael Farrell, thirty-fve
years DID, steam filter living at Ruther-
ford N. ]. Farrell turned up all right this
morning.
