| Die and when the hrst rush toward the
main entrance began fully 5000 people
We're crowded into Ellison and Carroll
| streets Lines were formed by a squad
Of police, but the force was entirely too
| small To maintain any sembiance OF or
! der Women were largely in the majority.
] They included AN classes from those in
Mr.. Hobarts social class TO the street
/ beggar. and an were given the same OPP
portuuity TO take a last look at the face
of one they had learned TO esteem. Many
of the women carried infants.

| Ing 10 the library the excitement in
/ creased Women tainted on the porch,
/ and at one time half a dozen lay insen-
| sible on the lawn. They were revived,

transhxcd. Then she screamed. and fell
forward into the arms of policeman.

member of the Hobart household.
10 was estimated that fully 12.0O per-
| sons saw the remains in the four hours
they were exposed TO view. Thousands
more would have seen them if the time
mad permitted, but the doors of Carroll
