By 4'Good Tires

Ownership of four practically new

Brother Identifies
Articles in Wreck
Debris as Haggard's
Burned Watch, Razor
Taken as Evidence of
War Dept. Aides Death

A watch and fob and razor, ruined
by fire, but identified as the property
of w. w. Haggard, so, missing War
Department engineer, today led
members of his family and friends
to conclude that he had been killed
in the Baltimore &, Ohio wreck at
Dickerson Thursday and that his
body was destroyed by flames that
swept the wreckage.
The identification of Mr.. Hag-
CARDS personal effects was made by
his brother, Francis L. Haggard of
Detroit, and son, w. L. Haggard.
The son arrived by plane from Cali
fornia to assist in the search for
Mr.. Haggard, who. it was thought,
might have wandered from the
scene Of the wreck in a daze. They
were certain, it was said, that the
watch would have been on his per-
son and for that reason feel that
he must have lost his life.
1t was believed possible that a
man who had gone from the wreck
to seek assistance might have been
Mr.. Haggard, but residents of the
farmhouse at which that individual
made telephone call examined q
picture of Mr.. Haggard yesterday
and said there was no resemblance.
The identified dead from the
wreck still stood at II today, and
there is one body unidentified. It
is believed, however. that the death
list actually totaled 18.
The wreck virtually has been
cleared up. One freight car, loaded
with debris, is to be moved to a
location where the accumulation can
be carefully sifted in further hunt
for clues to supposed victims.
In the mainline, at Baltimore
railroad officials and representatives
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission were continuing their in
quiry into the wreck, which involved
two passenger trains and a freight.
Summoned to testify today were
members of the crews of the crack
Ambassador from Detroit, which
rammed the rear end of the Cleve-
land Night Express, stopped on ac-
count Of engine trouble, and tossed
a Pullman from the latter against
a passing freight train. Members
OF the Ambassadors crew said yes
terday that they could not see
warning flares that should have been
placed at the rear of the stalled
train by Flagman J. M. Gilhart
Visibility was poor, however. Mr.
Gilhart was killed.
