Connellsville, Pa, Dec. 26.-Con-

curious persons. All but a few of the
65 bodies have been identified, and
those who are still unknown will be
laid away in Hill Grove cemetery
Considerable money was found on the
persons of the unidentified, and tight
ly sewed in belt on one foreigner
was found more than $400, which was
placed in bank. Sums ranging from
500 to $500 were found on several
persons, and 1t has been put in a bank
Robbers on the Scene.
Many victims of the wreck were
robbed of money, jewels and Christ
mas presents which they were taking
to relatives and friends from Pittsburg.
Many rings were taken from the fin
gers of corpses. Robbers were on the
scene early, and before many of the
rescuers arrived they had secured con-
siderable booty, much of which con-
sisted of baggage and handbags that
had been tossed about the cars in the
wreck.
Many Connellsville people had been
in Pittsburg buying Christmas pres
ents, and many of these are missing.
Some may have been burned or lost
in the wreckage, but the police assert
that robbery of the dead was com.
mitted.

Superintendent J. F. Irwin, of the

for the wreck must be fastened on
the persons who loaded the ties on
the fat car His theory is that the
stakes at the side of the car were
weak and gave way under the tension
when the car rounded the curve. Mr..
Irwin says there is no truth in the
rumor that train-wreckers derailed
the train.
