COLLAPSES ‘Eleven Injured, Some of Them Seriously And May Die--Five Missing—Scenes of Horror As Corpses Are Borne From Twisted Debris of Brick And Steel Beams — Wall Falls Out Onto Street And Search Is Made For Dead Pedestrians—Coroner Orders In- vestigation. Seven men are known to have been crushed to death or killed by injuries, 11 others were taken to the New Britain General hospital, several seriously hurt, and five were unaccounted for 4s the result of the collapse of the annealing department at anufacturing company’s foundry on East Main street, at the corner of Stanley street, a few minutes before noon today. Tt is thought that the weight of snow on the roof caused the walls of the building to buckle, Seenes which had no parallel in the history of New Britain were enacted within a few minutes. A general alarm for fire was sounded from box 49, bringing all the fire fighting force of the city to the spot. Sirens screamed through the storm and in an incredibly short time the work of rescue was begun. Fear was entertained that the death list would be longer 466 Harttord ave- |and that others not connected with the North & Judd plant, who were passing along East Main street, were buried under i |the debris, As hours passed, this fear was diminished, search s of the among the ruins of the west wall on East Main street revealing no corpses, Every fireman in the city and every policeman who could be communicated with was pressed into service. Frantic ef- forts were concentrated on the twisted debris of brick and steel beams in an effort to rescue any injured workmen who might be underneath and on the wreckage along the sidewalk. It was at first rumored that the building, which was 150 feet long and 90 feet wide, crumpled after an explosion. This theory was discounted and the helief was expressed later that the weight of snow on the roof was the cause of the catast rophe, Medical Examiner Waterman Lyon advised Coroner J. Gil- bert Calhoun of Hartford of the catastrophe and the latter in- structed him to conduet an investigation. [Jones of Winthrop street, another member of the fire department, was Lit on the head by fulling bric Thomas J.
