WRANGLE OVER

Victims of Cutoff Disaster Are
Still in the MOrgue.
CORONER HAD TO BACK UP
ALLEGED RELATIVES CAUSE
MUCH TROUBLE.


OGDEN, Feb. GA WranEIe over the
| disposition Of the bodies OF the
fourteen Greek victims Of the ex-
plosion at Jackson Friday was one OF
the chief developments Of today. The
contest was between different under
taking establishments. headed bv dIf-
ferent claimants OF authority The cor
oner and other officers Of Box Elder
county wanted the bodies distributed
among the different undertaking firms.
and with that in view gave orders ON
arrival in Ogden that all the undertake
ers assist in the preliminary preparing
Of the bodies for Identification. Tbe
four members Of the Burke family
were taken to Richey's establishment.
on request Of relatives, as also the
bodies of Halter and Demody. so there
was no contest over them.
Divided by the Coroner.
Today the coroner decided to give five
bodies in charge of Undertakers Iarkin
q Sons; FIVE lin charge of Lind, and the
remaining ones to Richev.
AIr. Larkin decided TO remove tho
bodies allotted to him to his own es-
tablishment, the better to prepare Them
for burial. This raised a protest from
the assembled multitude Of Greeks.
many of whom declared they had cou-
sins and other relatives under the Gov
erings inside the imprOvfsed morerra.
Trey declared the bodies should not be
moved. and they carried their point.
Coroner Decided to Quit.
Later. after an afternoon of wran-
Cling, the coroner, Justice Horselv.
washed his hands Of the whole matter
by designating John 1Iaccart. one of
the Greek interpreters. TO have custody
Of the bodies, he agreeing 10 deliver
them to properly accredited relatives
and friends. This raised q protest from
rival Interpreter, who claimed TO have
Geographic authority from some Pue-
bio relatives of six Of the dead to rep
resent them. The coroner insisted that
his purpOrted authority be presented TO
Maccart, and the matter was left that
way.
Another Conflict.
Then arose a conflict of authority
among friends and purported relatives,
who claimed the right TO direct who
should have the custody OF the bodies.
Most of these had already given or
ders to Richey, Frank Mcintosh and
Emmett Flynn. whose men had been
sent to the scene Of the accident Fri
DAY night. and finally the undertakes
agreed that the business should all be
done in Bichey's name but that each
of the other undertakers should care
for five bodies, as directed by the cor0-
neT, and that all the corpses should be
left at the temporary morEue.
The bodies were then washed and
embaImed by all the Uudertakers and
their assistants working together.
