Near relatives of Miss Janet Clark

Near relatives of Miss Janet Clark made diligent search for articles of Identification, seemingly desirous to find two finger rings which would es- tablish the identity beyond doubt. The search was made with the assistance of railroad laborers and the ashes near where the remains were found were \handled and carefully examined. After three hours the search for the rings was abandoned by the relatives and they returned to Westerly. Rev. Fred erick A. Macdonald, pastor of tho Pawcatuck Congregational church, continued the search. and was reward ed by finding the rings, satisfying the parents and relatives of the young lady that the remains were fully iden, tified.

It was learned late Tuesday night that Angelo Turo was not burned to death in the Bradford wreck and that, contrary to his custom, he was not a passenger on the train. It is known that there was a railroad man on the ill-fated local, deadheading from Bos- ton to Westerly, who has not been ac- counted for, and there is belief that it was his burned remains that is class ed as not having been identified. Ar for a number of years on the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad freight service, was due to arrive at his home Tuesday night. a railroad passenger from Boston. He did not arrive, nor did he report for duty on Tuesday morning. and another fireman took his place. Mrs. Partelo has heard nothing from him, and it is therefore probable that he is one of the burned victims.

Fl. F. McManus, who has been a
 towerman at Bradford 13 months, had
 been on duty about half an hour when
 the accident occurred. The local train
 was 27 minutes late, and he ordered the train on the siding at 7.34. This train
 was delayed as the locomotive could not make steam. Conductor French of the local gave notice by telegraph that the engine could not make steam and that the train could not reach Wester- ly. He then notified the passengers that the train would go no farther and that transfer would be made to the Gilt Edge train. McManus told Med ical Examiner Scanlon that at 7.24 he set the distance signal against the ex- press and that a minute later the home was set against that train. When he saw the signals were not needed he displayed the red lantern from the
 tower window. The local in the mean

The fourth body has not been iden- tified. In the first report it was stat ed that the body was that of Margaret Bliss, address unknown. But this is not true. The only person named Bliss on the train was Mrs. William H. Bliss, No. 407 West 123d street, New York city. She required no medical attention. It was reported Tuesday that the unidentified remains were those of Angelo Truro, who like the other burned victims was a resident of Westerly. He was in Boston on business trip, as was his fortnightly custom, and was due to arrive home or the train. He had not arrived up to Tuesday evening. Before the rear car was completely enveloped in flames Claim Agent Poole entered the car on a mission of rescue and came upon a man whom he believed to be an Ital- ian, for when he urged him to make an effort to escape he received the re- sponse: "Me much hurt; me no can get out"

The body of Miss Janet Clark, was found near that of MT. Boardman's, and very close to it, indicating that perhaps MT. Boardman was attempt ing to assist Miss Clark, when both perished. Medical Examiner Scanlon had two stakes driven in the ground directly opposite the points where Miss Clark's body was found. Frag- ments very small, were found that aided in Identification. Tuesday morn ing, the ashes between these stakes were sorted over with the greatest care on the hope of finding some arti- cle of jewelry, or otherwise, that would strengthen the identifications, if that were necessary. A hat pin, the rim of a pocket book, and probably a bit of molten gold. were found. It is posi- lively believed that Miss Clark was the only body burned to death.
