 Not until today were all the iden- -x,fiicatfons verified. The last one to be made was that of Stella G.. Morley, whose husband arrived before day break from Bar Harbor, Me, seeking his wife. He knew she was on the Federal Express, and when she did not appear and he had no word from her. he concluded that she must be among the unidentified dead.
 A glance at her features, which were not badly mttilated, sufficed to convince him that his suspicious were well founded. He was too much ov- ercome to wait at the morgue. put wandered out into the early morning, promising to return by noon to make arrangements for the disposition of the remains Morley said his wife had a trunk and bag somewhere. He was going to meet the train when he heard the news of the wreck, and af- fer scrutinizing dispatches in many
 
 jured, he decided that she must have been killed and hurried here.
 The two bodies taken out of the wreck yesterday-for there were but two located making the total number of victims 14 instead of 15 as was reported late yesterday-were quickly identified.

His left shoulder was dislocated his left hand lacerated and his whole body badly bruised He is suffering from great nervous shock and grief. Fear was expressed that the stricken man would be unable to complete his jour ney without collapse. He was deter mined not to allow the remains to 70 unaccompanied, however. Before he left he was in conference with rep- of the railroad company. He feared that if litigation for dam ages arose he would be unable to so arrange matters with the govern rnent service that he could get to court and he pressed his willingness to make settlement upon terms that otherwise he would not consider A brother of Engineer A.
