On a win- dow ledge lay the severed fore. arm of « girl, impaled against the glass, Across the street lay her body, the head smashed flat against the brown stone front of @ broker's office.

Aa far as could be ascertained, the majority of the dead were passers by before the Morgan house when the explosion oc curred. The only evidence to sub- stantiate the theory that a wagon loaded with T. N. T. had explod- ed were fragments of red wood such as dynamite wagons are made of. Groans and screams split the ear and even police officials lost their heads at sight of the hor- rors. Several women in the crowd of thousands which soon collected fainted and were left where they lay, all medical at- tention being given to those in- jured. As two volunteers lifted @ woman whose stomach had been torn out she gasped and expired. Shades were torn from the win dows of the big banking concerns in Wall st. to cover the bodies. At the corner of Wall and Broad ats., in front of the Bankers’ Trust building, lay two horse's hoofs. On a window ledge lay the pump-covered foot of a wom- an, severed at the ankle.
