Cleveland Mar. 5.-The first inti-
nation that the terrible disaster at
the Collinwood school yesterday was
the result of the work of fire bug
was given today in the testimony of
DR.. Williams at the inquest in which
he said he was the first person to
reach the scene of disaster and that
he thought 1t was the work of fire
bug.
The testimony was also given that
the fire might have been the result
of crossed electric wires.
During the examination Janitor
Horter, who saw one of his children
killed in the crush and who lost two,

Cleveland, March 5.-Gaunt horror
and heart-rending misery made the
little town OF Collinwood their theme
fast night. No one slept. In the grim
and pitifully bare building used as
railroad shop by the Lake Shore rail-
road lay the 162 burnt and mangied
bodies that a few hours before held
the hope and pride of 162 Collinwood
homes.
In every home for a radius OF sew
eral blocks were heard the fitful,
feveTed cries of the injured. Doctors
hurried nom house to house while
gathered in the streets and in front
of the temporary morgue was large
crowd OF almost frenzied parents and
relatives awaiting the moment when
the police would allow them to enter
within the building and attempt to
identify their dead.
Thirty Will Never Be Identified.
One hundred and sixty-two bodies
have been recovered. This accounts
for all .of the missing, declares City
Engineer Gould, who is in charge or
the work.
OF this number 110 have been pos
itively Identified. Thirty are so burn
ed that Coroner Burke declares that
there is no hope of Identification.
The Collinwood Chamber of Com
merce has $4,000 and the city council
has devoted another $4,000 to pay for
the funerals of the victims.
Pitiful Search for Loved Ones
1t was a pitiful scene when the pa
rents were first allowed to enter the
morgue. The bodies were laid out in
rows and the mothers and fathers OF
the missing children were lead past
the silent little forms by attendants.
Many of the women tainted. Some,
it is feared by the doctors, will never
regain their reason.
Mind Failed Mother.
Mrs. Bertha Robinson is one OF
those whose mind tottered and finally
failed her in the hour Of her distress.
She lost two daughters in the disaster.
When told that their bodies had been
found she attempted to suicide and Is
now held in restraint by the authori-
ties.
1t is probable that Friday will be
