was removed through the rear door
within five minutes after the collision,
but died almost a4 soon as the rescuers
could iay him down. A woman
died two hours later while trying to
tell a physician her name. A dozen
men had worked on the place where
she seemed to he before she was extricated.
"ltounle Martin, a girl 11 years old,
was pinned down between the two
cars, the heavy stove resting on one
foot. Her cries attracted the res
cuers and men, many of thein ble?ding
from wounds about the face and arms,
worked heroically to get her out. It
took some time to release her. When
she was taken out she addressed the
doctor who was bending over her as
"papu." The physician did not have
the heart to tell her that she was an
orphan, her father nnd mother having
been killed. Mr. Martin was killed
instantly and Mrs. Martin died ten
minutes after being taken out of the

a broken ankle, whore the heavy
stove fell on her, and severe scalp contusions.
She was put to sleep by a hypodermic
