Washington, Jan. L'O.-One hundred
and
twelve lives were lost in the ;
Knickerbocker theatre la.st night
when the rcof weighted by more than
two feet of snow collapsed, which
.buried patrons of the house under a
crushing blanket of concrete, plaster
and steel, according to unoweial but
earfully cheeked records.
! Of the dead, 52 had been identified
at dark tonight. The large majority
-bf the victims, both killed and injur
f'd, were residentg of this city, al
though many came recently from
ther places. Exploration of the
ruins went on unchecked aft' r dark,
I..
but those in charge believed few ad
ditional bodies would be found. With
out regard to their own risk, soldiers,
marines, sailors, police, firemen and
citizen volunteers had fought their
way beneath the wreckage over prac
tically the whole floor space of the
auditorium.
The exact number in the theater
when the steel and concrete span of
the roof buckled and feel under its
three-foot load of snow probably will
never be known. The stories of per
haps a hundred who got out uninjur
ed have been reported. These ac
count for a few more than 300 in
the audience that was roaring in
laughter at a filmed comedy when
the roof fell on them like a blanket,
carrying down the front of the wide
balcony in its crash.

The Pit a Death Trap. 1
Most of the bodies were recovered
from the floor of the pit beneath the'
wreckage of the balcony or from the
jfront of the balcony itself. Follow-1
-ing the rule of motion picture audi
ences and with an almost empty
house to pick from, lho- on th? main
floor had grouped themselves in the
rrows of seats just below the fiont of.'
i;th balcony. They were back far(
enough to see well and the '-ont and
iback rows were almost empty.
g At the point they had chosen, the
danger proved to be just double. Few
Mdf those seated there could have es
caped. Even if the falling concrete
dabs and steel work of the roof miss-;
ed them, the solid mass of the balto
ny front came down on the first
"wreckage with crushing wright. The
-gleaming brass rail that adorned the
balcony front lay spread over the
"wreckage of the roof 15 feet below
;when rescuers reached the scene.
Those farther back on the main
floor probably all escaped. Th beams
Uhat supported the back end of the
balcony did not let go their clutch on ;
-the wall. The wide sweep of seats
they supported tilted down under the i
-wreckage below, took the weight of
;tht front end and then stood covering
the back rows of the main floor like
a tent

The front rows of the balcony
were ((round to a twisted mass of
ruin in the fall. There was no wood

struck
down in the hist blow when the imoi
caved in. .Some were hurled down
into the pit wreckage when the bal
cony front fell and even some of these
mm tied, with bruises. There is no
record, however, of any survivor?
among those in the foremost balcony
seats.
Frantic calls for aid went out as
soon as those in the double walled
structures, which form the h
street and back wall of the auditoii
, urn realized what had happvn'.-d.
These two three-floor wings form the
1 offices, a store along the 1 t h street
' front, and house the stairway- a::d
the approaches and exits both en that
side anil along the back wail a::d they
'were not involved in the di-p.ter
which was confined to the auditorium
, itself. Later the store and corridors
, became the first aid stations as the
: mangled victims were dragged from
the wreckage
Sctne of Wild Confusion.
Firemen fought their way throutrh
i heaping snowdrifts in answer to :i

with men churned and skidded
through the white muck and in an
! swer to a summons marines from the

at double time, panting through the
