accident became nOlSed about they hur-
ried to the docks with their dead wagons
aud engaged in an unseemly wrangle
for the corpses.
In one instance the head of body
was on one stretcher, while the en-
poyes of another establishment pulled the
feet over ON their own stretcher The
cries of shame from the crowd had no
effect, and their work was kept up. The
motorman was found after midnight
by two detectives, and he insists that
the reason he ran was because he did
not see the gates or the lights until the
crash came.
The number of victims was increased
to 10 yesterday by the discovery of two
more bodies in the river All of the
dead have been identified but four per-
sons who were supposed to have been
on the Inflated car as it made the aw-
full plunge are still missing, and there
seems to be no doubt that their bodies
will be taken from the bottom of the
river when the heavy iron trucks of the
wrecked motor are raised.
One of the bodies found yesterday
was that of little Gertie Hoffman, aged
1-2 years, who was going home from
the store where her father was en-
plOytu, WIFI utI ulOGIlbT anu DTOIneT.

that of Louis Huletz, mailcarrier, aged
26 years, who lived with his wife at SO

Motorman's Statement.
August Rogers, the motorman, is still
detained at the Central station, though
he is now held only as a witness before
the corner lie talked about the acct
dent as follows:
ut was my second trip" he began.
Gust after leaving the market house l
looked into the car and from what l
can remember there were about 20 or 20
passengers. They were mostly women
and children think. When my motor
reached the switch at the approach of
the draw in the yiaduct, | shut off my
current and applied the brake. The car
came to full stop and the conductor ran
ahead to throw the switch HE motioned
me ahead with wave of his arm. l
put my lever to the first notch and as l
passed the conductor, who always
stands mt the switch lever until the car
has passed, was running at the rate of
possible four miles an hour, looked
back, as I always do and saw him get
on the rear platform. Looking ahead /
thought / saw the gates at the draw
closed over the track but as my lights
were burning and | had current, the
thought occurred to me that my eyes
must have been ut fault. was just in
the act of giving and possibly gave the
lever a slight push forward, when l was
startled by the gates just in front of me
and | heard some one yell, jump l
don't know whether reversed the cur
rent or not, for l realized the danger
and leaped from the vestibule. AS l
leaped / thought that would plunge
headlong down and into the river, but
