Sergeant Scott.
 Medical Examiner ScanIon will today direct operations in the search for ad- ditional human remains. In this work he will have the cooperation of official representing the railroad company and laborers will be furnished by the com pany to do the real work by digging over all new work that has been done on the trackage near Bradford since the disaster. It may be that the char red papers found by MT. Kelly were not in the possession of Sergeant geant was not deputized to carry any official papers from Fort Adams to Fort Wright and it is evident that the papers came from Fort Adams. Medic al Examiner Scanlon is investigating the report that parts of a human body was buried by railroad laborers on the day following he railroad wreck. The matter is also being investigated by of fcers of the railroad company.
 In conference with Mir. BeIknap, chief of the safety appliance division Of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, Congressman O'Shaughnessy urg- ed the passage of a law which would provide for the use of safety appli- ances that would prevent wrecks such as occurred at Bradford. The congress- man says that MT.

These facts were placed before Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown, and John R. Wilcox. sheriff of Washington county. The Boston police heads were communicated with and request made that formal and legal demand be serv- ed upon MT. Kelsey for he delivery of the papers which he picked up as a souvenir, and without thought that they would tend to prove that Sergeant Scott was in the railroad wreck, and saved his excellent record from being smirched with the charge of desertion.
