VICTIMS WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Accident Due to Running Car Crowd
ed BY over 100 Persons at
Mile a Minute.

Queenstown. Ont, July TEN per-
sons were killed and a score injured
this evening when a trolley car on
the International railways line jump
ed the track on the sharp incline lead

a crowd of Toronto eXcursionists
from various points along the river
to the boat landing here.
The accident occurred at what Is
known as the second curve where the
line takes sharp turn to the north
and downward dip in grade. 1t
was said by some of the passengers
that the car seemed to buckle in the
center before ii left the rails and
took the plunge into the small raw
inc. The car was practically in two
sections when it came to a standstill.

be moved we're carried on board the
Toronto steamer, which was held at
the dock.
The wrecked car was about 20 feet
below the level of the tracks and it
was so completely crushed that the
work of getting the injured free and
up the embankment to the relief cars
was distressingly slow. There were
about 80 passengers on the car and
only one or two escaped injury of
some kind Eight dead were taken
from the wreckage and two of the in

July Is or IA. Both boats were in
mid-ocean today. Holt had written
Ithat steamers leaving New York

IIolt's warning was contained in a
letter he sent to his wife at Dallas,
Tex, and which was forwarded to
the state department at Washington
by her attorney. Radio messages
were Immediately sent to the com
manders of the two vessels by the
navy department and officials of the
lines were notified
The growing belief here that Holt
was Erich Muenter, the alleged wife
murderer, was strengthened here to-
dag by the positive indentilcation of
the dead man as Muenter by three
men who knew the latter as the for
mer Harvard instructor.
The indentilication was made by S.
+. Smith, state detective of the dis
trict attorneys Office of MiddleseX
county, Mass Theodore Hitler, an
automobile man of Cambridge, and
A. T. Brown, a Boston newspaper
man
Holts teeth were examined by
Smith. who stated that the gold
bridge in the upper right jaw was
the same as that in the mouth Of
Muenter. He was positive that Holt
was the missing Muenter.
Hitler who lived with Muenter and
who drove him to the railroad sta
ton the night that Muenter dissap-
peared was equally sure that the
dead man was the former Harvard
instructor
Brown, who had known Muenter,
after looking the body over was
agreed with Smith and Hitler in
their identification.
Detective Smith brought with him
from Boston the Britillion measure
ments of Muenter and it was found
that they tailed in every way with
liolt's measurements.

New York, July S.-The steamer
