NINETEEN BODIES- RECOVERED
FROM BURNED SCHOOL
PeabodyJ Mass., Oct. 29. The dim
light of a gloomy morgue today
shone down upon a ghastly sight
the half-burned, twisted corpses of
nineteen little victims of yesterday's
fire disaster at St. John's parochial
school.
Bodies of two other children lay
in St. Thomas' hospital, where they
died from burns and the shock of
the mad fight for safety in the
smoke-filled halls. The ashes of an
other little victim were believed to be
mingled with debris inside the fire
swept walls. Though firemen report
ed late yesterday that 27 bodies had
been found, a careful checking to
day put the death total at 22.
