(Associated Press Leased Wire.) .,1!
CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 17. Tha body of Floyd Collins will
be left in his natural tomb and
this afternoon at the mouth of
rescue him, but in vain. His aged father, Lee Collins consented
to the arrangtknent, after Dr. William Hazlett of Chicago, had
himself examined Collins and pronounced him dead.
Seven friends of Collins crawled down the tunnel to identi
fy him as members of a coroner's
Turner, the acting coroner.'
Everything has been done
man's ingenuity and modern
Collins.
"No more lives should be sacrificed in further attempts to
remove hia body." .. ' . ' w
Dr. Haxlett came up the shaft at 12:20 p. m. and said lie
had identified Collins through a gold front tooth. He an
nounced that Collins had been dead between three and five days
when he was reached. Magistrate Turney said he had seen and
rcognized Collins and felt confident there was no way to re
move the body without grave risk.
H. T Carmichacl, in charge of the shaft operations, announc
ed this afternoon that he had ordered the cement to be used in
sealing the entrance to the tomb in the lateral of the shaft. '
Temporary arrangements were being made to hold funeral
services at 2 p. m.
Asked if the shaft would be filled up today, he said that
it would be an impossibility to replace all the rock and dirt that
had been taken out of there in a single day and also that so many
workers had gone home there were not enough left to fill it in
one day even though the task should be attempted.
A staff photographer for the Chicago Tribune, John Speger,
also made the trip and secured a photograph of Collins which
revealed his head and shoulders and the position in which he
met his death.
Looking down Sand Cave rescue shaft in which scores of
volunteers labored for 1 1 days and nights to save Floyd Col
lins, Rev. C. K. Dickey of the Cave City Methodist Episcopal
church this afternoon conducted Floyd's funeral.
A choir of eight women from Cave City sang three hymns
and the boulders were placed back upon his tomb and sealed,
leaving hm still locked in nature's arms as he was caught 18 days
ago.
The services around the mouth of the shaft began at 2
o'clock after M. E. S. Posey officially announced abandonment
of all efforts to remove Collins' body, and Lee Collins, his aged
father, had agreed to let him be buried where he lay.
Hov. M. Dlckoy offer
1 a nraver
and spoke briefly on Floyd's ad-
venturenus life as a cave explorer.
Mrs. Ma Withers of Cave City
sail "We Shall Understand It Ilet
ter llye and Ilye" anil the choir
sanir "Nearer My God To Thee."
Followed by "Aleep in yesus."
Just above Collins besd In the
sloplnic elKht foot drift of the na

and boulders were to be placed In
position and the tunnel sealed.
Then the twelve foot lateral lead
