Bodies Are Terribly MangIed
Beyond All Hopes of
Identification
STREET CAR Was PACKED
Many People We're Killed BY
Jumping Through Windows
Only to Be Run Over
BY Freight Cars

Detroit.-Thirteen persons were kill
led and 25 injured, Is of them serious
ly, when Grand Trunk switch engine,
pushing three freight cars, south
bound, at Dequindre street and East
Forest avenue, crashed into packed
westbound ID. u. r. Crosstown street
car about midnight Sunday.
The bodies of the persons killed
were so badly mangled that identifi-
cation at the scene of the wreck was
almost impossible One was a woman,
whose head was severed completely
from her body. Four of the dead were
men, while one was a young baby.
According to the stories of the
badly frightened survivors, the &C
cident happened so quickly that none
of them knew just what had taken
place. The Grand Trunk crew in
charge Of the locomotive, 1715, re-
fused to give their names, as did the
members of the switching crew. The
crew asserts that the switch engine
had the right of way. There is a
derailing device at this crossing and
the train crew claim there was moth
ing to prevent the conductor OF the
street car from seeing the oncoming
cars had he operated the derailing
device.
The train crew was in charge of
Conductor Robert O'Keefe, 81 Guilloz
street and Engineer Gibson. Before
they were stopped from further talk
ing by railroad officials both men had
declared that the switch engine had
the right of way and that lights were
on the ends of the freight car to show
the approaching train. O'Keefe said
that he was standing on the top Of
the first freight car and was swinging
lighted lantern.
He did not see the street car, he
said, until it shot out on the tracks
directly in front of the first freight
car. Forest avenue at the crossing
of Dequindre Is built closely up to
the tracks and neither railroad or
street car crews can see the other
until the crossing itself is reached.
The motorman and conductor Of
Crosstown car No. 1928, the wrecked
car, could not be located after the
crash. Information as to the names
of the men was refused at the Cross
town line barns.
Gruesome sights greeted the first
of the rescuers to reach the wreck
age. The freight car had hit the
street car about in the center and
had pushed it from the tracks and
slid it along sidewise to the still
moving freight cars.
Panic-stricken passengers, of whom
there were over 80 on the car, were
rushing from both front and rear
doors and climbing through the win
dows only to fall under the wheels OF
the still moving ears. Most Of those
who met death were killed by jumping
from the car under the wheels of the
freight cars.
First rescuers saw string Of dead
and mangled bodies for Is on 90 feet
alongside the railroad tracks, while
under the freight cars were still more
bodies of both dead and injured.
Men with legs and arms cut off were
found still alive, but number thus
found died before they could be
pulled from beneath the freight cars.

Second Sight.

Southampton Water was an orna-

! 1t was midsummer night tagging a
whole season behind its fellows. But
already it was so late that the English
passengers on the Kaiser Fritz had
abandoned all thought of catching the
last train to London.
They tramped the deck in their
noisy shining, shore going boots; they
manned the rail In lazy inarticulate
appreciation of the nocturne in blue

less yellow lights. But Achilles in his
tent was no more conspicuous absen-
tee than Cazalet in his cabin as the
Kaiser Fritz steamed sedately up
