Parents Hamper Rescue Work—

Boy Buried Alive in Gravel Pile

By United Press

. BLOOMINGTON, Ill, Jan. 26—~Mayor Cecil Cone today ordered a “full investigation” ihto the death of a 6-year-old boy who died in a hospital after he was buried alive for 45 minutes in a gravel pile. Jerry Greene died in St. Joseph's Hospital where he was rushed yesterday after 18 firemen finally succeeded in bringing him out the bottom of a hopper. Jerry was first spotted by John Wolf, a switchman for the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, who saw the youngster fall into the hopper full of loose gravel used to dump stones onto the tracks below. : The boy, screaming for help, was buried up to his armpits. Nearby workmen rushed to his aid and the fire department was summoned. All began digging for Jerry who slipped lower and lower as he struggled. ? ’

Anxious parents feared the boy might be theirs and climbed onto the shifting gravel, hampering rescue work. Jerry ‘sank deeper as the gravel was trampled over him. . Police lines were set up to hold back 400 persons who crowded around the hopper. Among them were Jerry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Greene. The mother wept and prayed as she watched the efforts to reach her son. Forty-five minutes later; Jerry was brought out the bottom of the te

He was unconscious, although a faint heart beat

was detected. Further efforts to revive him failed.
