Death Instantaneous He was picked up and hurried to the Harrisburg Hospital, but death was said to have been Instantaneous. His body was badly burned and charred in spots. The back of his head and shoulders were burned to a crisp.

The index finger on his left jhand was also badly burned. Brakeman Boone was quite popular in railroad circles. He Mad been "employed by the Pennsy for fifteen years and was a member of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Pennsylvania Railroad Relief. He was employed on' the 3, p. m.
