OF THE INJURED
1t is more than probable that four or
| five will die. Many of the others are
injured only specifically.
The investigation into the cause of
the collision and the fixing of the re-
sponsdbilty began today in earnest.
Coroner Mclaughlin irnpaneled a
Jury and they visited the scene of the
wreck. There is a very general inn
preston that under the mass of debris
at least six more bodies lie. The jury
made an exhaustive examination of the
ground and devoted considerable time
to the inspection of the signals, which
still remain as they were at the mo-
ment of the accident.
George F. Hauser, who has charge Of
the tower and who is now under ar
rest, has made several statements to
the police. He told them he
SAW BOTH TRAINS COMING
when both were sufficiently far away
to admit of a full display Of signals
