The engine of train No. %, the New

struck the rear of train No. 49, the

force that the rear car of train No. 40,
a sleeper, crumbled before the impact.

The mutilation of their bodies was
such that early Identification was i'm

continued through the sleeping car
into the rear of day coach.
Asleep When Crash Came.
Nearly all the passengers were
asleep when the shock came. There
were desperate struggles with debris
and many of the passengers not re-
ported among the injured at the hos
pitfalls were completely exhausted with
their efforts to extricate themselves
from the shattered car and to help
the injured. Scalding jets of escap-

of both trains used every available
means of removing wreckage from
those pinioned beneath and six hours
later 1t was thought no more dead or
injured would be found.
Disregard of signals by the engineer
