Up nnd down the aisle, of that mpreVlicd morgue there filed i never-ending precession of -grief -.trlcken relatives and friends amid S , 0f infinite pathos. The bodies wr" these of tfff miners tewt killed In the explosion at the Kellly Colliery Ne. 1. Latest figures en the tragedy, tlie most appalling In Pennsylvania mlnln Ry since the disaster at the Dnrr eiBiuij ,r," " ... in 1007. when Sere than 200 men met death, ahev that the dead may reach mere than etehty" In addition, thirty-two men. including four """;,? 'lJrtur! and several men are still believed te be missing. Beginning nt 2. o'clock yesterday morning rescuers turned from their ministrations te the living te the duty of caring for the dead. At dawn the lust of seventy-two bodies had been taken te the morgue and a little later word came from tbe miners' hospital that three of the Injured had succumbed te their hurts. Late last, night five mere bodies were brought te the sur face. Identify Their Dead When the bodies of the living were taken te the mine mouth they were car ried through the crowds "face down" with the faces concealed from the on lookers. Each bystander felt that It was ber husband or son who was being carried out In this way. But today the story was different, for In the bodies of the dead men the rela tives recegnised their own. Praying, screaming, meaning and laughing in a hysteria that was mere terrible than the crying of the anguished, men and .women and children passed by the tem porary biers. Eagerly they scanned the faces of the 'dead that were in many instances scarred by the marks of the searing fire, , but in seme ether, instances unmarked nnd smiling even, as if the poisonous cases had ceme as a blessing te ease the death agonies. At the feet of each corpse was a bundle of belonging, the man's clothing, bis pipe, n locket, per hnpH, with the pictures of his wife nnd children. As the women slowly moved through the building they examined each face carefully. But when they reached the body of the man they knew they did net need te leek a second time. They knew, and in many cases they fell te their knees, walling or praying and calling out the name of the dead. Carload of Coffins Ml yesterday undertakers' wagons plowed through the mud of the main street. At neon railroad men unleaded a carload of coffins and these symbols of a town's wee were piled high en the rencrete fleer of a garage opposite the Miners' Hall. Te assunge the grief of the living and te relieve their immediate neces sities as they arose, physicians and public health nurses, a corps of Ameri can Bed Cress workers from Johns town, soldiers nnd lassies of the Salva tion Army and emergency workers Tecrulted from the few nmeng the townspeople who had net felt the blew directly turned In and worked. The greater part of the main head ing nnd the Intcrnl headings or pas sagewnys en the left side have been explored, but thcre is n small section en the right that 6tl!l remains for examination. It is impossible te reach the extreme ends of these passagcway.i, the mine experts assert, and it is highly Improbable that any living men ere there. But there may be a few mera bodies of the dead, tbe mining Aucn say. Hew many bodies will be found in the, remote headings no one will Miy definitely. What caused the explwsten has net yet owl determined, although mlnlna nnd safety engineers from the Federal Bureau of Mine nnd the State Bureau hare turned their attention te that phase of the tragedy. One man's guess is ax geed as nnother's; but these ex perts say nt this time, and se far the guesses have surmised, that the explo sion was caused by an open lamp or a lighted cigarette. Stories of heroism by the trapped miners arc the consolation for many of the afflicted. Every man deserved the name of here, -In thb opinion of the , rescue workers, but several names stand , out. Jay Fex, a stripling of twenty, set an example for his fellows, while ethers were rushing around through the gas-illlcd passageways shouting and Faying, young Fex looked death in tha in co and sullied.
