 The grucsomc details of the wreck were gone over by witnesses before the corouer's jury which a-eemhled here late this afternoon.
 Before the taking O: evidence the jury was taken tC the iwprOviGGd mo.- sue where fourteen charrcd and mutt lated bodies are awaiting Identification. They are in such a condition the idCn- tity Of many may never be established. So terrible was the scene thnt few Of the jury emparclled to hear the evi- dcnce could lcok upon the sight more than few moments
 The bodies Of a man and woman which were found under a burned sleeper were today Identified us MT and Mrs. Eugene r. Willard of san Francisco. The claim of Identification is based upon a pocket knife found on the mans body bearing the name of Willard. The remains Of those tWo persons are the only ones out of those not immediately identified that boar a resemblance to human form.
 The taking of evidence by the corCn- CT began late this afternoon. CondUc- tor Parker was the first witness. He related in detail stopping at Vau's sta tion for orders and that he was given ore order by Operator CIOugh, one which instructed him to meet and pass a freight train at Wilmot. He says positively that he did net rc,ei-a inc order relative to meeting the easth3uad passenger, No. g.
 "Tho collision occurred while VIC were running forty miles per hour" sold Parker.
 We were rounding a curve near Es- mond when the shock came. I was thrown to the floor Of the cer in which ! was sitting. I got out at once and went forward. I found the engines completely wrecked. The coaches were on fire. Bruce, my engineer. was dead. evice1tly having been killed irGtantIv. have been a conductor for thirty years but this was tho worst wreck I have ever been in. I had the right of way and was carrying out my ord. CTS"
 Operator ClOueh. who had been sum moned before tn" jury. did not appear and officers were sent out to look for him. In the meantime the jury ad- journcd until tomorrow morning.
 Ii is said tonight that CIough has been located and will appear tomorrow.
 Superintendent Sroufe says inc testi- mony will be pushed forward and the blame will be fixed as quickly as pos sible. He says it now seems that the responsibility rests on a question of veracity between Conductor Parker and Operator Clough.
 Clough said in a conversation today that Parker cI'mc into his office at Vails and took one order and read il. took his copies aud went ont. As he was leaving Clough claims he called out: Parker, you have left one Of your orders on the counter"
 Parker paid no attention. says CIough. but got on the train and the train pro- Ceeded.
 Some doubt is cast on this statement Ter the reason that Clough is said to have had lime in stop Parker and fn- sist on the importance of the order ha claims the latter left behind. besides. 1t is said, Parker's signature does not appear upon the duplicate of the order in the files in Nails station. as woulI have been the case had the conductor signed it.
 Information from the scene of the wreck says there are innumerdble small bones scattered about the scene Under the circumstances it is quite impossible to give an accurate state Lnent as to the number of people who lost their lives.
