that section of the building crum-
piled. The bodies believed to have
been theirs were found on the spot
where McWatty advised the work
ers to dig.
The other two bodies recovered
are believed to be those of Carl
Sallada, a linotype operator, and
Howard Courdaway, machinist s
assistant.
The body believed to have been
Conrdaway's was the last unearth-
ed. The torso was twisted into a
mass less than ! 5inches long.
Satisfactory Identification was i'm
possible. Courdaway's aged faith
or, who had been inside the police
lines all night waiting for news of
his son, refused to accept the par
tial notification by Times en-
ployes. A watch, the metal case
warped and twisted, was found
baked into the remains. This
watch was identified as Courda-
ways.
The mans father declared. how

watch at home when he went to
work Friday evening.
Flag Raised.
A snken American flag Is float
Ing at half staff today over the
smoking ruins and over 300 men
are searching the mass with care
full picks and shovels.
Under the direction of Fire
Chief Ely, the national emblem
was nailed to the warped Flagstaff
that still points at the crazy angle
from the shell Of the Times tower.
AS the flag lifted from the
staff, every laborer in the gray pit
that had been a death kiln for a
score of men, and every one of the
thousands who strained at the po-
lice lines took of their hats and
stood silent while the two firemen
who had raised their ladder from
the top OF the smoke blackened
wall to the Flagstaff, descended.
In a row inside the police lines
four black ambulances stand wait-
Ing for the burdens they undoubt-
edly will have to carry to the
morgue. Coroner Heartwell to-
day assumed personal charge of
the ten men detailed othe wreck.
Otis ut Ruins.
Dozens of friends and relatives
OF the lost men are being cared
FOR at the central police station,
less than a square distant.
Many OF them refused to go
home during the night waiting sill
emily for news that the bodies of
their loved ones had been found.
