Norwich bulletin., 1912-05-01

bAip AdChdA -bcunetit WHICH came with 191 of the White Star liner IT, tanics dead into Halifax today first cast gloom over the city by her mere presence as a funeral ship then sent shock through those waiting here for bodies with the announcement of her commander that 57 of those re- ported by wireless as identified had o. necessity been east again into the sea. Yet none. not even the few here whose friends or relatives had thus been rec1mmitted to the Atlantic, eN- pressed any criticism Of Captain Lard ner's action. believing him sincere in his explanation that lack of space on board, shortage of embalming mater 3al and the mutilation of bodies were solely responsible for his course.
 Widensr Body Reported Sunk.
 That there was no favoritism shown in the reh rials. that is, that the bod tes ot prominent persons were not kept aboard to the exclusion of the more humble is indicated by the White Star lines announcement that among those bodies sunk again vas that of George E Wileuer the Philadelphia capitalist Although this appears to be mistake in that Mir. Widener's s con. now here believes from Captain lardncr's description that the body was that of his fathers valet, the name Widener stands on the official list of rcburiais as issued.by the White Star limo late today.
 Sixty Bodies Unclaimed.
 The one great hope held out to the bereayed tonight was the fact that rhere lay stretched in the rough pine Cofiins iu the morgue sixty bodies for which there were no claimants. Most of them appeared by their clothing to be seameu Few had been carefully examined tonight, for it was well along in the afternoon before they were placed in the morgue, and even then they had not been segregated. By morning they will have all been pre- rared for close scrutiny and persons who found only bitter disappointment in the death house today will go back tomorrow with dentists plates and other equipment. prepared 70 exhaust every resource, before turning back ward
 Few First Class Passengers Sunk.
 Inssmuch as a majority of those cast again into the sea were composed of members of the Tiranic's crew and second and third class passengers. thelr relatives were not on hand in Halifax in great numbers. For this reason the shock and disappointment was not as great as it would other wise have been. Eliminating. Mir Widener's name from the list there remains SO far as can be checked up from the data here, the name of only one ursl class passenger recommitLed. He was Frederick Sutton of Philadel- phia. Reginald Hale was among the second cabin passengers on the list.
