LIBRARY CRASH

To VATICAN
Pope Orders ouizNin 5 Deaths,
Then Goes Into SeCIusion;
2 More Bodies Found

VATICAN CITY, Dec. %
(I.N.S.). - After ordering an
immediate inquiry into the
cause of the crash of the
Sixtus V wing of the Vatican
Library, which brought death
to five men and perhaps fatal
injuries to a sixth, Pope Plus
XI retired to seclusion today.
He was deeply affected by the
accident.
tMonsignor Tisserant said today
the Pope had not been forced to
move his apartment because Of
the crash, as his dwelling quar-
ters are several hundred yards
from the damaged wing.
Two More Bodies Found
The bodies of two more work
men were extricated from the
ruined wing early today. The
body of a student and two other
workmen were taken from the
ruins during the night.
Cases of Art Demolished
The damage to the rare, collec-
tion of individual manuscripts,
letters, books, and rare art work
was not as great as it might have
been, since they were kept for the
most part in shelves along the
walls. However, several cases Of
the priceless articles which stood
in the center of two floors OF
the wing were demolished as the
roof crashed to the basement of
the structure.
Vatican officials we're reluctant
to discuss the exact amount of
the loss in figures because of the
difficulty of setting prices on the
objects and because many were
valuable simply through senti'
ment.

A shovel and a broom lay near

The supposed grave had been
dug about five inches deep. In

probably given up a thought to
bury his victim when he struck
something hard while digging.
A search of the room in which
the belt was discovered revealed,
in addition to the belt, detectives
said, bottle containing a pc

to be analyzed in the belief that
it might be blood.

A partly-eaten homemade
sandwich was also found in the
room, detectives said. This was
believed to be Of significance be-
cause of the fact that an ex-

within "a hours before she died
