Gathered In a rubber blanket on the

and dismembered remains Of the TWEEN.
ty-second victim Of Saturday nights
head-On collision on the Pere Mar
quette railroad, neal East Paris. So,
terribly disfigured is this last victim
found at the scene of the wreck that
in all probability it's identity will never
be positively effected.
1t was a first thought that these
remains were parts OF n OF the
bodies previously recovered. Investi.
cation at the morgue. however, showed.
that this could not be the case.
The we're inclined to the
belief that this body Is that OF a wom-
an, but the railroad authorities say It
must have been n tramp riding on the
blind baggage" car, as no onla pas.
senger could in their opinion have
been thrown where this body was
found. It was the unmistakable OdOr
of burned flesh that led the w%recking
crew to a realization of the fact that
another body lay under the wrecked
engines, where Engineer Stoddard an6
Fireman Burns, of the eastbOunj train \
were found. When they had uncov-
cred the remains of this additional
victim they found only fragments of
a human form. There were no arms
or legs, only fragments of the skull
and large bones, some teeth and most
Of the internal organs intact, but lit
