--------
The identification of all the victims of the wreck was completed tonight when the body of a woman, known hitherto only as "Mary Jane" was identified as that of Catherine Sweeney, 45 years old, of New York.
Harvey R. Mooney, a Maine hotel keeper, made the identification saying the woman had been employed as a seamstress at his hotel.
During the day identifications were made of the bodies of Dr. James B. Marvin, and Mrs. Marvin, of Louisville, Ky., and of their daughter, Miss Martha H. Marvin. It was on the body of Miss Marvin that much jewelry was found. The body of Mrs. Frank P. Rutler, of Scranton, Pa., also recognized, completing the identification of the four bodies marked as unknown last night.
Five Near Death.
The reports from the New Haven hospitals indicated the surgeons' skill would probably be of no avail to save five of the seventeen injured, now being cared for here. Those who are expected to die are Jeane and Edna Annette, of Bayonne, N. J.; Rose Zimmerman, New York; William O. Rowland, of Philadelphia, and L. E. Colomy, supposed to be from Bucksport, Me.
