NO DISCOVERIES AT WESTERLY
Search Tuesday Fails Find Any Trace of Sergeant Sco Body on Site of Train Wreck-Fragments of Clothing Picked Up-Collns vs. Johnson in Superior Court Seven Bids for Watch Hill Road Building Submitted Thompson Company's the Lowest.

pr. Michael H. Scanlon, medical eX- am1ner, went to the site of the Brad ford disaster, Tuesday morning, and made a search for some part of the remains of Sergeant Scott, alleged to have been an occupant of the rear car of the local train crashed into by the Gilt Edge express, or to find some thing that would lead to the identity of the missing soldier. It was in this car that Miss Janet Clark, William A. Barber, Thomas Boardman and Howard Partelo, all residents of West erly, were burned, and near the bod ies were found articles that led to their identification.
 After these remains were removed, and a careful search revealed no other, the wrok of clearing the tricks of wreckGge was commenced. The iron work of this particular car was all that remained, and the fierce fire had twisted this out of shape. This iron was piled in a big heap beside the west bound track, and the remain ing ashes and small debris was spread in with the gravel along the tracks in the work Of rccOnStruCting the wreck ed trackage. None of it had been taken away from the location of the wreck.
 A force of railroad worlzmen, under ScanIon, went all over this material | for a distance of one hundred and fifty 1 feet and three feet wide, all of the newly placed material being turned
 over and carefully examined. No sem blance of any human remains was | found, and the only fragments O. clothing unearthed were placed in . large envelope by Dr. ScanIon. Ther, l is a piece of white sleeve lining witt green stripes, a small piece of darl brown dress goods, a piece of a whit' | wOrsted sweater, piece of ncckti either purple and black. or white an'
 black check design, and a piece O dark cloth similar to that identified d
 part of the coat worn by Howard Par
 telo.
 After Medical Examiner ScanlO1 completed his work at the scene Of tn
 wreck, he gave opinion that he di
 not believe that there were any nor
 than four persons burned to death il
 the disaster. He was satisfied tha there is no trace of the remains o Sergeant Scott or any one else, an hardly believed the soldier was on tn ill-fated train.
 It has been learned that Sergean
