FORTY TEAMS OWNERLESS
At LIVERY STABLES
Were Owned by People Who
Drove In From FdrmS--Cor-
Oner viii Investigate
Says Scene is In
deSCribdble.

Boyertown, Pa, Jan. 15.--The four
improvised morgues contained this
morning the bodies of one hundred
and sixty-two victims of the opera
house fire. Undertakers from neigh
boring towns were pressed into SER
vice TO care for the bodies as they
were brought from the theatre ruins
To each body and the articles found
on IL, were attached numbers for
Identification.
Few bodies were recognized by
features.
When the morgues were opened
today hundreds of people were wait
ing in expectation of finding the
body of a loved one.
Coroner Strasser said the scene at
the opera house was the saddest pic
ture he had ever looked upon, and
said it was simply indescribable." +"
II shall make a thorough investiga-
tion," he added.
Henry w. Fischer operator of the
calcium light, escaped with severe
burns. "The accident" he said, was
caused by a cap on one of the tanks
blowing out and this startled the
people.

\ frightened person on the stage caus

! and the consequent spread of the
flames which nothing could stop"
That the victims are not confined

shown by the number unclaimed
teams at the hotels,
Many Teams Remain Unclaimed.
Fully forty teams remained un-
called for in the stables yesterday.
| They are said to belong to people re-
siding within a radius of five or six
miles of Boyertown who drove to
this place Monday to witness the
| production of the Scottish Refor-
nation" There is no clue to the
owners or a number of the teams.
Moving Picture Machine Dangerous.
New York, Jan. 15.-While it is
now said that the terrible tragedy
at Boyertown, Pennsylvania, in which
nearly two hundred lives were lost
was not directly caused by the NOV
ing picture machine as at first re-
| ported, the report has called atten-
ton TO the danger Of those machines
many of which are in daily and
nightly operation in New York and
! other cities.
Chief Croker says there is great
| danger of fire from these machines.
| Very often the fire department is
| called out on account of a blaze or
| iginating from them.
The danger is the greatest in small
shows operated in theatres unprovid-
ed with sufficient exits.

tinent.
Attorney Il. G. Ritcher, of Walsh s
counsel, said her trouble grew out of
claims which Mrs Metcalf believed
she had against an estate in St.
Louis and which she wished adjusted
by Hamill.
Fear is expressed by federal off,
cials that in the event of the convic-
ton of Walsh, the attempted shoot
ing occurring as it did close to the
court room where the trial was in
progress, might be considered suffi-
cient grounds for a reversal by a
higher court by reason of having dis
concerted the Jurors in the case.

Mrs. Metcalf through her attor-
ney waived examination when ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Foote and was held to the
grand jury in bond of $1,000. She
stated after the arraignment that
her correct name was Mrs. Beatrice
Thomas and asked that further pro-
ceedings against her, be conducted in
that name.
Attorney Hamill made his first
public statement regarding the
shooting this afternoon. He said he

ther. He learned her claims were
unfounded and advised her 10 drop
the matter. He did not see her
again until two years ago when she
came to his office and accused him
of not doing her justice,
