prisoned victims were tortured beyond
descrIptlon. All OF the victims were
haAlv burned
Conductor Cook was found uncon-
scous under the charred body or Bag
gaae. Master Stroud. He Is so badly
hurt that he can hardly live the night
Strange 10 say not a truck except
those OF the tender left the track, ana
,he only passengers injured were those
10 the smoker.
When the wrecked car began to burn
one mans body extended hair way
out OF the rear window OF the car His
feet were pnloned by q piece OF wood
IN the car. He was alive and thor
oughly conscious of his peril He was
foreigner and In broken English
yelled for some one to release him,
Chop here" he would shout, pointing
back to the car at something which
held him. Heroic efforts were made TO
release him, but finally the poor fellow
had to be deserted and he was slowly
burned to death.
One Of the most horrible things out
side Of the death Of the foreigner
hanging out Of the window was the
body Of man standing upright against
The window which opened on the rear
platform Of the car, The body was that
Of Baggage Master Stroud. He was In
an erect position, His head was above
The top Of the window, so that his fea-
lures would not be seen, but he was
identified by ring he wore on one
hand which protruded through the win
dow, and by his badge.
