Entire Train Loaves Track The locomotive, the combination baggage car, the chair car and the diner overturned, the other cars, eight pullman coaches and a club car, thc latter thc Texas Ranger, also leaving the rails hut remaining upright. The baggage car was unoccupied.

Fifteen persons live in the immediate vicinity of the wreck and it was largely through their efforts hospitals were notified to send ambulances. The bodies of Engineer C. E. Ray of Newburg, and Fireman T. E.

White of Mapiewood, were taken from the locomotive. At least four other bodies, including those of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Newton of Washington, D. relatives of former Congressman Cleveland Newton of St.

Louis, were taken from the chair car. The Newtons' 4-year-old son, Robert suffered a fractured skull. Both Mr. and Mrs. Newton were employed by the post- office department in Washington.

Early today two of the bodies in the Kirkwood morgue remained One was that of a woman, about 35; the other that of a man about 21, probably a Mexican. Trainmen True to Trust Striking evidence that the. engineer and fireman were true to their trust until death was found in the valve which controls the supply of fuel to the oil burner on the locomotive. The valve had been shut off. thereby preventing the likelihood of a fire.

An accurate check of thc jured, especially those who suffered onlv minor injuries, was impossible today. Reports indicated many St. Louisans returned here and received treatment from family physicians instead of going to hospitals. The locomotive, after leaving the rails, ran into a bank and turned over on its side. Passengers said the derailment caused little commotion in the three rear pull- mans and the club car, but persons in the forward cars screamed and shouted.

Payne had expressed a wish to be buried beside his wife in the cemtery at Amarillo but Sid Payne said he regretted that could not be done. "Both families," he said, "relatives of A. wife and my own sort of horror these tragedies rclal vcs have a thc sccne and we believe It is just as well that the bodies be separated." Definite arrangements had not been completed last night. One of Payne's last requests was that Dr. J.

Mechanism of tho machine or tiny vial of explosive with which Payne took his life proved as mystifying to Investigators as the similar contraption he devised and placed in the rear of the family car to kill his wife, last June 27. Officers were ready to admit they could not solve the method used by Paynp to "cheat the electric chair." They looked upon it as another product of his fantastic and uncanny, yet coldly calculat- ine and deliberate mind.

"It was my fault for breaking our engagement," Miss Nichols told newspaper reporters as an ambulance waited at a San Pedro pier to take the Marquis to the ranch. "I feel morally responsible for what has happened.

I must do what I can to make up for it. That is why I have arranged for him to stay at my ranch as long as necessary in hope rest and quiet will bring about a cure." The Marquis, former attache at the French embassy at Washington for several years was Miss Nichols' business manager, then her fiance. "Our business association led to romance," Miss Nichols said.
