Iroquois theater in Chicago day before
yesterday. He said this morning as
he related his experience to group
of friends here that he will never for

the dead. saw the police seize one
man and attempt to pull him out. but
they got only his arm. Horror was
depiTted on every face.
Gan effort was made to separate the
dead and the injured, and carry the
former away and attend the latter,
but in the haste and excitement many
who were only unconscious were piled
up with the dead, and could be seen
to kick and struggle as the big vans
moved off with them. They were suf-
located no doubt before the wagons
had proceeded very far.

the balcony and in addition to crush

froze the blood of the strongest men.
I'll never forget it.
Tho most remarkable part of it
was that the whole thing happened in
