KNICKERBOCKER THEATRE TRAGEDY (Continued from pure onei cal building Inspector and the coroner, all havn ordered comprehensive probes. Thu coroner’s jury probably will be summoned today. When dawn crept over the stunned city, the night shift of marlins doing rescue" work, was relieved and another called. They had picked, shoveled, bur rowed, hauled many weary hours, practically combing the debris twice, and shoving out great masses of it into the roadway about the theater. The marine and army officers superintending the labor agreed that the pit had given up all its dead. It was Inconceivable, they said, that there should be other corpses there. The last body, that of James Shea, South Hadley Falls. Mass., medical student of Georgetown university, had been recovered about 8 o’clock Jast night. Shortly before the ma rines had dug out the mutilated body of Shea’s companion, pretty Virginia Feraud, sister of Guatemalan Minister Bianchi, and borne into the tnorgne in the First Church of Christ, where it had been identified by Mrs. Miguel Prado and by Bianchi. Before that time, the last live person to be brought out was Scott Montgomery, crushed badly, he had cried out to rescue his companion. Veronic Murphy, whose body lay beside him, and to help women and children before they thought of removing him. They got him out in the morning and sent him to Walter Reed hospital, operated on him —and he died.

Mobbing, fainting women, strained nfn struggling to hide their tears < had one by one identified their dead. Hour after hour of the day. on into the night and still there when dawn peeped into the gruesome morgue basement where a corps of nurses—some Red Cross, some former army nurses. some volunteer private nurses—with a score of doctors waited for new cases, hoping against hope that there might be some with a spark of life in them. Now and then marines brought in gruesome relics of the dead—hats clothing, watches, notebooks, foun tain pens, rescued from the debris, but never a body more. Society women, volunteering for service as members of the Red Cross maintained stations for coffee, sandwiches and cigarets. , Pretty girls, who had never seen ( death before, braved the shock ot . seeing bodies mangled so that they could do “their bit" among the marines. soldiers, firemen and police < men. i And the men, fagged by long hours, j kept digging with an energy almost i superhuman. Under the ghastly glare oi arc lamps and gas torches i they burrowed and shoveled. Long < lines obeyed the command “heave to" ( and they snaked out massive steel girders. ( The mountains of debris, picked | over and over, was dragged out grad < ually, but there was still a huge quan- i tity inside the theater which looked i like shell-wrecked ruin of the west- s ern front. Burly, begrimed workers from the navy yard, with supttering oxy-acetylene torches, cut through girders still athwart the heap of con Crete which had crashed through at 9:15 Saturday night trapping and 1 mashing the audience witnessing 1 "Get Rich Quick Wallingford." For hours one tiny Ford tractor '■ did valiant work pulling the wreck age out of the shell of the theater. < The rescue squads appeared not to notice that there was the chance that I the walls would cave in and bury them. too. Scarcely a man. however, 1 but had noted what seemed flimsy construction—hollow terrecotta. 1 At 3 a. m. .the whole theater had been explored with the exception of a small corner in the rear, covered over by a huge radiator. Captain Warren, artillery, commanded that this be hauled out and the wreckage underneath removed, even though the position was such as to preclude possibility of any bodies being hidden there. This consumed a long time, but when the squad was called off shortly after 6 o’clock, it was stated (there could be no more corpses in the ruins. Another relay was put on, however, to clear out the remaining debris, with the prospect that this would take the whole day or longer. Half of the balcony still lay twisted and crumpled, sloping down from' the rear wall, the cantilever beams wrenched out of shape by the weight j from above. Tragedies of man and wife killed, J of whole families wiped out for one I member; stories of heroism and unselfishness equalling the finest in history were enacted in the theater and at the Scientist church morgue. The story of Montgomery was duplicated by Albert Buehler, who, dy-

Ing but conscious until Sunday ■ 1 morning, told rescuer*: "I'm all '■right; save the others.” Inter he - died on the first aid table. There was Second Assistant Postmaster General Shaughnessy, critic-J ally injured, who told the workers to look after his wife and two children. 1 all badly hurt, before they should re-j lease the girder from his feet, and 1 the mammoth block of concrete tearing at his abdomen. Dr Clyde W. Gearhart was pinned in the ruins for four hours with the head of his deml wife pillowed on | his shoulder. All during the terrible I vigil, In excruciating pain from tliei weight of a huge girder crushing hisj legs. Dr. Gearhart tried to revive his wife at the same time ho called out , directions to his rescuers. When husband and wife were fin ally released Gearhart’s leg had to bo amputated. He is in a critical condition. There was Lieutenant Williams, i navy aviator, who dashed into the; theater when he heard the collapse.' brought out five bodies .and then re•[' fused to give his name.

There was the case of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar M. Kanston and their daughters. Helen and Dorothy, who per iahed, leaving behind only a tenyearold son. And the case of Mr. and Mrs. J. L- Walker, who are survived by three children. Joseph Wade Beall, musician, bridegroom only three days before, was mashed to death in the music pit. Archie Bell of Vineland, N. J., and Miss Nannie Ix'e lambert. Ashboro, N. C.. planned to be married in a few days. Their bodies were found side by side and Miss was identified by her engagement ring. Jordon Hill. 10. unscathed, dragged out a girl much larger than he. and begged the authorities to let him take out more. Miss Bikie, 20. severely Injured. I came through the hospital morgue at 9 o'clock last night. She peered beneath one blanket and recognized the crushed corpse of her father. Steel-, ing herself she gazed at another body and saw it was her sister. Frances. She was a lone orphan, the last

of the Bikie family. Lillian Masse, occupying a seat in (the balcony, was hurled to a spot near the entrance where she could crawl out. Twenty-four hours later she found in the church the crumpled body of her roommate, Margaret Dutch, of Ludington. .Mich., a pretty little government worker. Most of those in the theater had no chance for escape. Most of the corpses had an arm outstretched in a cramped position as though in the second before death the person had sought to ward off the crushing weight. Only a few persons could crawl out to the streets through crevices where the masonry had nearly formed an arch instead of pinioning them down. Harry M. Crandall, the owner of the theater, and of several other movie houses in the city, is bewildered as to the cause of the catastrophe.. Reports which will be investigated, state that the manager of the Knickerbocker theater called Crandall Saturday and suggested that the snow be removed from the roof, but that the architect and builder of the theater stated that it was unnecessary.

PICKFORD DIVORCE CASE United Press Service. Carson City. Nev., Jan. 30—(Special Daily Democrat) —One of the largest court room crowds ever gathered here 1 was on hand today when the arguments started before the state su- < supreme court in the state's suit to' annul Mary Pickford’s divorce. Robert Richardson, deputy attorney , general, opened the arguments. He was to be followed by Attorney General L. B. Fowler, and by Gavin McNabb and Judge P. A. McCarran for the defense. —- ■ > A REAL "CHICKEN” HATER (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 30 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —A hen-hating rooster froze to death in an apple tree

near Crow’s Nest, north of here, because it wouldn’t sleep with the egg layers. In the summer when the hens roosted in the trees, the rooster took his perch in the chicken house. When cold weather came on and the hen sought shelter, rather than be with! them the rooster took to a favorite branch of an old aple tree. D. H. 5 Wiggins, owner of the rooster, went ( out doors on a cold morning to feed! his stock. The rooster lay dead under the free, frozen. Wiggins said when came toward the rooster in the , barnyard, the rooster ran away from I them. CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE Chicago, Jan. 30— (Cpecial to Dally Democrat) — Wheat: May $1.19%; July $1.05%.
