It was this section which ran into the rear of the sec ond section while running about into my berth until after midnight. and the porter had given me several pillows so I could sit up in the berth and read. It was these pillows which probably saved me from serious in jury when the crash came, for as 1t was the jar was so terrific that I felt as though my neck had been broken.
 Those of us who were not hurt worked from nearly o'clock until after daylight getting the dead and injured out of the train. The first person we found was a beautiful young girl who had big piece of steel driven entirely through her body. Another couple were awfully mangled, the woman's head being severed. There was one Springfield family wiped out. none being left alive except little girl of three. who had remained at home while the others went to New York.
 "One other man and myself were the only ones on our train who did not suffer some kind of injury. My name got into some of the lists of injured. but there was nothing more serious than the soreness that re- suited from the jolt"
