VICTIMS Of SCHOOL FIRE
TENDERLY LAID TO REST
No Cessation In Funeral Cortege

cemeteries, on Friday, bearing the
battered and charred bodies of some
of the 167 children who persisted in

there was no cessation in the funeral
corteges. Those who had no dead to
mourn as a personal loss stood by in
the streets with bare heads as the
grim professions passed.
One of the saddest funerals was
that OF the three children Of Janitor
for three other little ones. Mutterings
against the janitor could be heard
about the village, forgetting, as they
did, that Hitter himself was walking
with bowed head and broken heart
behind the biers OF three of his be-
loved. A detail OF police was placed
about the Hitter home when the hour
for the funeral came. Fully 500 per
sons had gathered, but when the cof
fms were carried to the doorway the
crowd spread and opened the way for
them without protest or expression of
hostility
Altogether there were fifty burials
on Friday and Saturday the gruesome
task was repeated. Sunday witnessed
the last of the individual burials, and
on Monday the bodies of all those who
are unidentified were laid to rest
with one funeral.
Testimony describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was
