toontinued from Page D

Five miles away they were placed in trucks which could not be negotiated any further up the slippery mountain trail. The bodies arrived in Evanston last night and were placed in a Tnortuary. All outsiders, including relatives of the 16 passen- gers and three crew members who sped here by airplane, were barred from the mortuary. Authorities said no one would be allowed to see the bodies in their present condition.
 Only One Body Intact
 Only one body was intact. It was crushed. The others were nutilated. The force of the crash tore the shoes from several of them. Coro- ner. Joseph B. Hopkins of Cummit County, Utah, announced early to- day that all 19 bodies had been iden- tified by means of pictures and de. scriptions supplied by friends.
 He said the coroner'S verdict was accidental death.
 Every piece of the 174-pound mail cargo was reported to have been recovered, although only one pouch was unbroken.
 Department of Commerce inSpec- tors sent here by Secretary of Com merce Roper in Washington all- nounced that 8 meeting would be held Saturday to decide the time and place for 8 formal hearing. Inspectors Study Crash
 The inspectors were operating from a base five miles below the scene of the crash, and more sup piles were moved there today, indi- eating they would conduct a long and thorougll search for vital parts of the planes two motors, hoping, from the position and condition in which they were found, to get some clue as to what happened aboard the plane. :.
 It was an extremely difficult task even for men familiar with the was in which air liners strew their wreckage when they strike the earth at full force.
 Clothing Torn Off
 Clothing torn from the bodies, books, cushions, bits of metal and personal effects filtered the moun- tainside for 50 yards.
 The plane was broken in half and motor parts were imbedded In the rocky earth. The nose of the ship was crumpled and charred from a brief flash of fire that tol- lowed the crash.
 Several inches of snow had fallen since the wreck to blot out many traces of the destruction. Among the relatives waiting to claim the dead were Mrs. Louis Cleaver, wife of the co-pilot, who flew here from Portland; A. Fer reira, Alameda, Calf, father Of George Ferreira, one of the passerl- gers; Dr. M. Richard Boe, San Francisco, uncle of Mrs. Ferrelra, who also was aboard.
 Expecting Baby Mrs. Ferreira was expecting a baby in a few days. She was flying to San Francisco aboard the ill., fated plane to place herself in Dr. Boe'S care. The surgeon SPeo 1ASAS Monday night after the wreckage was first sighted, hoping that Mrs. Ferreira might still be alive in the wreckage and he could perform a Caesarian operation to save the baby.
 TWO Pathe News cameramen, A. E. Holland, Washington, D. O., ana Frank Blackwell, Los Angeles, wait ed to claim the bodies of their Tel. low workers, William Pitt and James Pergola, who, ironically, were flying west to make a picture de- picting the safety of transconti- mental flying.
 The company announced that re- mains of the wreckage would be burned today after federal and air. line officials have salvaged vital m- struments aboard the transport.
 The officials were principally in- terested in one instrument used on all United planes-a recording baro- graph. If found reasonably intact 1t will indicate up and down move ments of the plane throughout its flight.
