The shoe of one of the victims was imbedded in the twisted remains of the dash and floorboard. The death vehicles were towed to Youngstown and left at Wagner's and Kulak's auto wrecking service. The .cars drew several curiosity seekers this morning. Shuns Road A youth peered into one of the cars and examined the piles of shattered glass and broken metal.
