MANY BODIES ARE
MASSED INDEBRIS
Toppling Walls and Heat Keep
Searchers Back—One Woman
€
: Among Victims.
ST. LOUIS, March 10.—A mass of
bodies, believed by the firemen to
be the remains of ten or eleven per
sons, was reached by those delving
in the ruins of the Missouri Ath-
Jetic Club this morning. A stand
ing wall which was about to topple
forced the firemen to cease their ef
forts temporarily, but they expected
te reach the bodies soon.
The death list may go above 40,
The fire was still burning in some
spots in the ruins, and it will be at
least 48 hours before the mass of
wreckage can be searched,
Search All Night.
Firemen working their way into the
ruins slowly to-day had removed and
identified the bodies of nine men and
one woman. Officials of the Missour!
Athletic (‘lub still were unable to ac
count for 24 men who were in the
building at the time the fire was dis
covered at 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
Throughout the night the work of
seeking the dead continued. By the
glare of flaming arc lights that sent
ghastly gleamis flitting about the wa
ter-soaked ruins the diggers worked
silently,
A large crowd stood about the
burned building all during the night.
Among the watchers were relatives
and friends, of missing men waiting
for the next bodies to be lifted from
under charred timbers and fallen
granite blocks, hoping that each new
find would not be the body of one
they had missed, yvet anxious to dis
pel the mystery of the almost certain
death that had come to all those who
have not been accounted for.
Injured in Hospital.
All of the injured men who are
being cared for in hospitals and ho
tels were improving to-day. None of
them will die.

SAIGHEVOWEDT
RUINHER BEAUTY
Woman Denies She Was Attempt
ing Suicide, as Man, Now
Arrested, Told Police.
Partly, perhaps totally, blinded by
carbolic acid that has burned and
terribly disfigured her features, Mrs.
Rosa Knight, of Macon, charged at
the Grady Hospital Tuesday that the
acid had been thrown in her face by
her husband, DeWitt Knight, in a
jealous fury, Knight was taken in
charge by the police as he waited te
see her at the hospital.
“He has threatened again and again
to ‘ruin my good looks,’ as he says,”
Mrs. Knight asserted. “Now he has
done it.
“If I am not hlinded by this fearful
thing, 1 never want to see or speak to
him again.” But if lam "blinded—itf I
am rendered unable to care for my
self —he will have 'to take care of me
as long as I live, and that will be his
punishmeat.”
Tells Different Story. .
Mrs. K.ight, her face and head
swathed in bandages, told her story
of whgt happened at the Piedmont
Hotel Monday night. It was a very
different story from that of her hus
band, who told the police that he nid
knocked a glass of carbolic acid from
his wife's lips as she was attempting
to commit suicide. After Mrs. Knight
had made her statement at the hos
pital, he was taken into custody by
the police.
Mrs, Knight said she and her hus
band quarreled and she came to At
lanta to become a nurse; Monday
night, she said, Mr. Knight knocked
on her door at the Piedmont, ana
when she opened it he forced his way
in.
“Suddenly,” she said, “he grasped
me around the neck, tilted my head
back and kissed me, roughly. Then
he pulled my head still ‘farther ba 'k
and I tried to scream. 1 th(fih( he
was going to cut my throat. /He had
threatened to do it mare tha® gpce.
~ “He raissd hig other hangss Then
something that felt like '%ve- of
fire spread over my face an@f into my
eyes, The pain was so terrible that
it seemed. to choke me. Then I
screamed and screamed.”
The house physician, Dr. W, 7,
Robinson, was called and gave the
suffering woman attention until the
‘ambulance came, It was said at fae
hospital that the sight of one, and
possibly both eyes, would be de
stroved by the acid.
Knight says he is Mrs. Knight's
third husband. He married her a
vear ago last September.
“She has caused me any amount of
trouble,” he stated, “by receiving at
tentions from men. It was that sort
of thing that caused Judge Tindall
to take her iittle daughter, Thelma,
from her last December.
Declares Charge Is False.
~ “This story she is telling about me
is utterly untrue.
“While we were living in Baltimore
'she tried to hang herself. 'Then sha
accused me of ij. I save her from
‘drinking carbolic acid Monday night
at the hotel, and now she is saying I
threw it in her face. I think her
'mind must be de wgged.”
Knight was at the hospital, waiting
to see his wife, when he was arrest
ed, following her statement. He 18
