Thousands of persons pressed about the
shaft opening when the removal or the
bodies began but II there were any
friends or relatives of the dead men eager
TO learn of the fate of the workers they
were lost in the crowd of curiosity SEEK
ers. So eager were the spectators to catch
a glimpse of the CHASTITY burdens the
buckets bore up TO the street level that
they impeded the work Of the men re-
covering the bodies. The police soon took
a hand and drove back the onlookers TO
a distance of more than block on every
side of the shaft. Those in vantage points
were loath TO go, and the policemen had
to draw their clubs to make them get
back.
Chief Engineer Ridgway decided that
there was no danger in permitting the
cars TO go ahead, and passengers on the
Lexington avenue line were carried within
few feet of the spot where the bodies
were being taken out AS each body was
brought 10 the surface the word was
passed around among the crowd and
fresh rush to get near the shaft would
follow. Those in the passing cars saw
a bit too well, and often as the buckets
swung aloft there would be screams from
passengers who would turn away until
the grewsome point was passed.
The three Catholic priests, who were
among the first to go down the shaft
Fathers McQuade. Mccormick and Dono-
van, made repeated trips as access was
gained TO new victims Of the disaster.
The rescue gangs worked furiously at
their task OF clearing the debris In the
CRIME and heat even the most eager of
them soon gave way. and many members
OF the rescuing force dropped to the
ground from sheer exhaustion. only to go
back 10 their work again after few
minutes respite.
AS the bodies were taken out OF the
shaft they were put in ambulances and
taken 20 the East 51st street station. The
drivers often had hard work TO get

utes. but still insisted he would not
permit the bodies to be removed from
the scene.
This further aroused the Coroners
ire and he announced that as soon as
the patrol wagons could remove the
bodies his instructions would be car
ried out. When il was pointed out 10
Bennett that the Coroner is supreme In
such emergencies and that his word Is
law above everybody else's. he suo-
mitted.
Newspaper reporters and photogra-
piers found il extremely difficult 10
get near the scene of the caye-in after
the officials of the Bradley company
got there. The latter did their utmost
TO prevent flashlights Of the cave-in TO
be taken. and refused point blank TO
talk to representatives. Of newspapers.
Coroner Holtzhauser's statement as
to the cause Of the accident was ridi-
culed by II. NJ. Wood chief Of the claim
department of the Bradley company,
who was busy investigating the dis
aster himself Mr.. Wood said that
while he was in no position TO make an
official statement, as he had arrived
only few moments before. he did not
see how the Coroner could make the
statement he did. as IL was nothing
more than the utterance of a densely
ignorant man. Later in the night, Mr.
Wood said, he would probably issue a
fuller statement.

PRIESTS SEARCH FOR LIVING
Seek Victims in Darkness to
Give Last Rites of Church.

Father McQuade. Of ST Patrick's Cathe-
dral said he was in the rectory OF the
church when the call came telling him OF
The accident. He went straightway TO
the mouth Of the shaft, where he met
Fathers Mccormick and Donovan. They
were let down the shaft into the dark,
rom whence there came TO their ears
the means Of the men pinned down by
the rock.
There was little light AT the bottom OF
the shaft but the priests CROPPED about
trying TO reach the men whose voices
they could hear. so that they might ad-
minister the last rites Of the Church.
Father Mccormick fairly stumbled
across the mangled body of one worker
but the man was dead.
Indeed, the priests and the members OF
the rescuing party found that almost all
he men whom they reached had died In
the crash. One man. who was badly
crushed, was thought TO be dead, but as
he was lifted out Of the bucket at the
shaft mouth he turned to Father McQuade
and muttered, Take this off me-" Seem
ingly he still imagined that he was pinned
down by the mass Of rock which had just
been lifted from his chest
The priests who were asked TO give their
opinion Of the accident as they were
among the first 10 go down the shaft after
the crash, said that il was not within their
function to fix blame. and that they had
sought simply 10 do the duty required or
them by their Church.

Inspector Cahalane, who was at MS
home when the call came for the re-

of the cave-in. Seeing the extent OF
the accident and the hastily gathering
crowds he ordered out the reserves

bic quick.
With these forces, Cahalane so dis
tributed his men as 10 form a com

car traffic was cut off, north and south
bound, on Lexington avenue, and theh
the work Of rescue was begun.
Forty men were at work in the sha1t'
known among engineering men as
Shaft No. s." A majority of the LABOR
ers were working the hand drills, USED
TO break the rock away from the ROOF
and walls of the tunnel. others were
working with the hand cars and were
taking the rock away to the bottom
Of the shaft, where it was hoisted 10
the street.

Of city officials, the building was con-

The building stands on the route Of

months there has been much dynamite
blasting nearby, and it has been the
duty of one of the inspectors of the
McNfuIlen. Snare & Triest Company, Of
No. 121 East 1880 street, who are build
ing Section 10. to go about the
neighborhood and inspect the buildings
after each blast.
Last evening one Of the foremen eX-
amined the building at No. 1914 and
noted that there was wide crack
running down the east wall from the
roof TO the ground. He Immediately
notified Robert Ridgway. cher ehSl-

II was discovered later that huge
bowlder far down in the subway, had
partly supported the office building
but had been split and weakened by

After the building had been vacated
the police ordered the motormen OF the

the cause of the accident. When he
returned to the surface he would not

The scenes in the tunnel were often
pathetic. Men terribly wounded ana

DR. Markham, of Flower Hospital, SAID
he was crawling along the tunnel bed

when he stumbled across the right arm
of one Of those pinned under the rock.
As he was passing by. thinking the
man must be dead, the injured laborer
stirred and twisted his head half way
around, so he could see the physician.
Say, doc. for Gods sake, hit me on
