LONDON, September 19,
Forty-four persons were injured when a suburban electric train carrying 500 crashed into the buffers at Charing Cross this morning. Most of the injured were women and girls, and all except three were sent home after treatment at a hospital. Half-fainting women and girls were assisted to ambulances at intervals for nearly an hour. Some were imprisoned in the wreckage for half an hour, and parts of the carriages had to be sawn away to secure their release.
