Inquest for First Time
Since 1908.

The search of the ruins of the Newark
factory fire failed to reveal any more
todies Yesterday. All day long thirty
frcmen. under the leadership of Bat
TALON Chief Paul Moore. explored the
great pile of twisted iron and charred
timbers which was all that was left
within the crumbIing walls of the four
story building.
They dug down to the bottom OF the
debris in many places without finding
anything that rese1n bled the remains OF
d human being. and it was their opinion
last night that IL any persons had re-
mained in the building their bodies had
been entirely consumed by the flames
The revised list Of the missing yester-
day was cut down to two women, and it
may be that their charred bones will be
found somewhere in the heap when it
has been entirely turned over
All but one of the seven bodies at first
unidentified in MuIlen's MorgUe were
identified yesterday. which fixes the
total of known dead at twenty-four.
The unidentified body, is thought to be
that of either Theresa TortareIIo. twenty
years old, of No. j07 Market street. or
Mrs. Lillian Norton. whose husband in
qr1ired for her at the mOrgUe yester-
day. Neither has been accounted for.
Case of Mistaken Identification.
The TortareUo girls body was at first
identified by relatives and taken to her
home. only TO be returned to the morsue
later as case of mistaken identity
The body was so nearly consumed. how
ever, that Identification was made al
most impossible. and the authorities be
Iieve it may turn out to be the Torta-
relic girl. despite her relatives opinion to
the contrary.
