Almost Every Bone Broken in Body
Of Equitable Fire vicytim.

New York Jan. 13.--In the shadow
of weakening walls that threatened
each moment to totter and fall a
squad of firemen worked for five
hours this afternoon to wrest from
the ruins of the Equitable building the
body of Battalion Chief William
Walsh, who met death In the fire OF

shortly after noon, half sitting, half
reclining with outstretched arms
pinned face down by q giant iron
beam and with only his rubber coat
showing. II was dark when they If
ted the body.
The coroner's physician believed
that the chief had been asphixiated
as he CROPPED through the burning
building and that the debris which
fell upon him crushed an already
lifeless body. The neck and almost
every bone in the body were broken.
There were few burns.
Removal of the debris proceeded
slowly today and the firement esti'
mate that the vaults OF the Mercan-
tile Safe Deposit company would not
be reached for ten days or two
weeks but they are believed to be
intact. In these vaults are stored the
valuables of hundreds of individuals.
Funds for the relief of the fanatics
of those killed in the fire rolled up
to total of $4,000 today.
