ment of Floyd Collins in Sand Cave

2-year-old baby in the grim leading
role. The child's body was re-
covered after being entombed in a

Death was caused by suffocation.
The child. Dale Carter, son Of 2

The well was only 10 inches

the lowering of mans body. The
hysterical father called for aid, and
hundreds of neighbors responded.
