Three Killed When Wall At Mall Collapses 4 Five of six people who were reported missing are accounted for HOUSTON (AP) Crews searched early today through tons of steel and rubble from a 20-foot-high wall that collapsed at a shopping mall, fearing that one missing person may still be buried. The collapse early Thursday killed three people, and authorities had feared several more may have been trapped.

But five of six people who were reported missing were accounted for today, authorities said, adding they are hopeful that the sixth person simply hasn't contacted relatives. "We have moved all of the large pieces of concrete. We have removed all the beams," said Assistant Fire Chief H.G. Torres. The wall, which was being removed to make way for a theater complex, collapsed along with a portion of the ceiling as a couple of dozen elderly "mail walkers" were exercising.

Six walkers were injured, as was a firefighter none of them seriously. Officials found three bodies under the rubble at Northline Mall, about five miles north of downtown Houston. Early today, the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victims: Leola Edwards, 59, Ema Curtis, 62, and Thelma Loraine Jolly, 53, all of Houston. The cause of the collapse was not immediately known. "What.we're trying-'to dp first of all is very carefully remove any debris to get to any bodies," said Jimmie Sehindewolf, Houston's public director.

"Then we will try to analyze the situation;" Demolition crews were removing the last sections of a closed department store when a wall common to the old store and the mall caved in. law, James R. andiKathleen P.
