Fifteen of Victims Still Uniden
tified-Railroad’s Officials
Put Blame on Engineer.
CORNING. N. Y, July s.—With fif
teen of the 41 victims of Thursday’s
Lackawanna wreck still unidentified
today, the authorities worked all night
and today trying to establish the names
of the unknown dead. Coroner Herbert
G. Smith is making a rigid investiga
tion and is preparing a long list of
witnesses for the inquest when it is
reopened Tuesday. Three witnesses
were heard last night.
The death list will probably go above
41, as some of the injured are in a pre
carious condition.
Beside the dead, 43 were injured.
Engineer Schroeder Is held respon
sible for the accident in an official
statement issued by General Superin
tendent E. M. Rine, of the Delaware.
Lakawanna and Western, because, it Is
charged, he ran past signals set to warn
him of the train in front. Schroeder
denies that his train was flagged or
signalled otherwise.
Those whom Coroner Smith had not
succeeded in identifying today were
eight women, six men, a boy aged ten
and a girl aged three.
Pitiful Scenes in Morgue.
Pitiful scenes were witnessed at the
improvised morgue. The bodies wrap
ped In sheets were placed upon cots.
Through the flickering glow of lan
terns, deputies from the coroner’s office,
police and detectives moved through
the night assisting the undertakers or
attempting to identify the remains.
Most of the dead bodies were badly
mangled, making identification exceed
ingly difficult.
In addition to the investigation the
authorities are making the Lakawanna
railroad is making a strict inquiry into
the cause.
Despite the allegation of Lackawan
na officials that Engineer Schroeder
either overlooked or disregarded sig
nals, the first three witnesses Who have
testified at the inquest testified, that
they did not see any flagman. One of
these witnesses, George Reynolds, of
Brooklyn, declared that he was on the
rear platform of train No, 9 and that
he did not see any flagman go back to
ward on-coming trains.
His Whole Family Wiped Out.
Early today William R. Laird, of
Buffalo, identified the horribly muti
lated body of his father, George Laird
of Brooklyn. 75 years of age. The elder
Laird had not been away from home
for 40 years. He was going to Buffalo
to see his son. At the side of the aged
man lay the shattered body of William
Laird's wife and nearbk’ was the corpse
of his five-year-old daughter. Mabel,

whole family was wiped out.
