Forty Fifth Victim of Rail Mishap Succumbs to Hurts
Chicago reports the death toll from Thursday’s Naperville two-train wreck rose to 45 with Leona Belle Sayler among the dead. Sayler, 28, a government employee, died of a skull fracture at St. Charles hospital, Aurora, while seventeen others remain hospitalized including three in critical condition. Train-crew testimony at a railroad hearing said brakes engaged as if for a curve rather than a crash, with flagman Tangney admitting he did not deploy warning flares or lights. The hearing awaits engineer Blaine’s appearance, expected in two weeks, as he recovers from a skull fracture.
