had crushed forward, intent upon

Their arms were interlocked and tho
muscles set SO hard that much force
was necessary to separate them. In

so that the fremen were either forced
to rend the bodies in removing them
or use axes on the seats to which they
were fastened. ,~
Men fell on their knees and prayed.
Men and women cursed. A rush was
made for the Randolph street exits. In
their fear the crowds forgot the many
side exits, and rushed for the doors at
which they had entered the theater.
Little boys and girls were thrown to
one side by their stronger companions.
The 12-year-old son of Mrs. F. A. Nor
gan, of 1876 Webster avenue, was lit
orally scalped by man who grasped
the boy by the hair and threw him to

the boys hair out. The mother held to
her sons arm. Alive, but injured, both
were carried out.

Before the first so bodies had been car
