Rear End Collision Occurs on
New York Central at South
Byron, N. Y.
THREE BADLY INJURED
Condition OF the Bodies and Absence
of Clothing Renders Task of
Identifying the Dead Slow
and Difficult.

Batavia, N. Y, Jan. 13.-In rear
end collision on the New York Central
railroad at South Byron, six miles
east of here, 81 persons were killed
and three seriously injured. Both
trains were westbound and were run
ming behind their schedules.
Train No. II, known as the South
Western Limited, ran into the rear Of
Train No. II, the Wolverine, while the
latter was at a standstill preparatory
to taking on a second engine for the
run up to steep grade between South
Batavia and South Byron.
Many Dead Still Unidentified.
Only few of the 81 dead have been
identified, the condition of the bodies
and the absence Of clothing making
Identification slow and difficult. All Of
the fatalities occurred in the last car
of the Wolverine.
The rear Pullman, steel car, was
reduced to complete wreckage. When
the engine hit, the upper part OF the
second coach from the end on the
standing train was torn from it's
trucks and lifting slightly, smashed
directly through the center of the rear
coach for it's entire length, sweeping
the berths and seats into a compact
pile
Victims Were Asleep.
Not a sleeping passenger in the car
escaped death or serious injury.
There appears to be some conflict
between the statements of railroad
officials and Engineer John Friedley
of the Southwestern as to the respon-
sibility for the disaster. The railroad
officials say that the rear of the stand
ing Wolverine was protected by the
block system and that, in addition a
f1agman was sent back along the
tracks.
Engineer Friedley says the block
was clean when his train entered it.
Fireman Brill backs him up in this
claim Friediey says that the first
danger sign he observed was red
light between the rails on which his
train was travelling. This light, he
says, was only a few car lengths be-
hind the Wolverine, leaving him an
insufficient distance to check the
speed of his train.
Engine Broke From Train.
When he threw on the emergency
brake, Friedley said, the engine and
tender broke away from the train.
Freed from the drag of the cars, it's
momentum almost seemed to make it
leap forward, he said and then came
the crash. Neither Engineer Friedley
nor Fireman Brill was injured.
