pit and with a light rlose
ty examined the face and position of
the man who we understood ia Floyd
Collins, and called up to Mr. Carmich
aei, five feet above him, that the man
waa cold and apparently dead."
The bulletin waa signed by Brig
adier General H. ft. Denhardt, H. T.
Carmtrhael and M. E. 8. Posey.
Dr. William Haxiett, of Chicago,
and Dr. C. E. Francis, of Bowling

information they bad obtained. Col*

Although the qoeat for Collins had
ended in locating hia body, the tired
miner*, saddened by the realization
that the man they triad ao hard to
aave was dead, turned, heavy-heart
ad. to the atill dangeroua task of re
covering bis body.
HMn of Work Ahead
Hour* of digging remain ahead of
them before they can remove Col
lins from hi* tightly-w«-dired position
in the narrow pa**age to Sand Care.
When, finally they have brought
him from hi* tomb, Collin*' body will
ha consigned to a grave in the cava,
after funeral service* under the high
dome of Crystal Cava, which itself
stand* aa a monument to the man.
There, amid H* stalairamitea and
stalactites, his funeral will be held.
The "monument" to the rescue
workers, however, will be torn down
by the hands that built it. The rcs
cue shaft will be dynamited after Col
Una' body haa been removed.
"It is a dangerous place and we do
net want aayone elae trapped in,
then." said Mr. Carmichael. in charge
of the excavation.
Collins was trapped by a falling
boulder in Sand cava at 10 o'clock
Ftidsy morning, January SO. His
plight waa discovered 24 hours later
and there than began a great fight
against nature to raacua him.
Heart breaking disappointment the
workers encountered repeatedly as na

From the early daya of the cava
man's entrapment, down throogh the
days that followed, there waa rated
a (Teat atnqnrle with nature and tka
elements. Friends and neighbors
rushed to hia aid and time after time
rescue parties went into crooked paa

Originally there were 49 defend

Jury.
Judge Webb instructed the Jury
that the ninth count of the indict
ment charging conspiracy to use the
mails to defraud be stricken out, and
the other eight, charging scheme to
defraud, stay is for their considera

Intent to Oefraad
The question of guih or taaoeence
he said hung upon whether there was
a scheme with intent to defraud and
whether the mails ware used in fur
therance of such • scheme. "Was
there a scheme?" was the way he
put it fas his charges. If the Jury be- ■
tiered there waa such a scheme it!
was to find the defendants or some of!
them guilty; If not, then find them j
innocent. There would have to be1
at least two found guilty if any were
found guilty, he said, aa it would take
at least two to carry It out.
He pointed out that It was the duty
