 tins had been Identified, Coroner J. A. Mooney of Hardin county, said that l2 bodies had been re- moved from the wreckage. His check proved incorrect after an exhaustive count by state highway patrol ofa- cers. At the time, Dr. Mooney said there might be more inside the cars," but wrecking crews found no additional bodies.
 Coroner J. A. Mooney believed several persons were missing and that their bodies would be found in the wreckage which had been only partly cleared at dawn. An exact check was difficult because no one knew precisely how many passengers the train carried.
 The locomotive flopped over on Its side and skidded for some 100 feet. A combination baggage and smoking car and @ day coach wee caught between 1t and four heavier Pull man coaches. At the end of the train and crumpied ike paper. With the exception of the firemen, all of the dead were in these two coaches.
 The train had eight coaches in all. A lounge car and diner were be- tween the day coach and the Pull mans. They were smashed too, The Pullmans, though derailed, were comparatively little da aaged.
 H. E. Newcomet, vice president of the railroad, announced in Chicago that a preliminary investigation in- dicated that a cylinder head blown from a freight train on an adjoin- ing track, had caused the wreck.
 Blew Out Cylinder
 The locomotive on freight train, F-33, bound west from Crestline, O., to Fort Wayne, Ind, with 48 cars just west of the station at Dun- Kirk," he said.
 "The cylinder head fell on the ad- joining eastbound track. 1mme- diately thereafter and before there was time to flag 1t, the pennsyl- vanian, moving at high speed on the eastbouno track, struck the damaged cylinder head, derailing and turning over the engine ano wrecking the eight cars in the pas senger train"
 The train, speeding to maintain It's exp. ess scneuaIe, lad just crossed the nor Vh-south tracks of the Io- ledo and Ohio Central Railroad and sta jon when the engine left the |, rails.
