Comment (by dimpase):

 here is a direct check of the relations:
 {{{
 gap> s12:=(1,2); s13:=(1,3); s14:=(1,4); s23:=(2,3); s24:=(2,4);
 s34:=(3,4);
 (1,2)
 (1,3)
 (1,4)
 (2,3)
 (2,4)
 (3,4)
 gap> [s12^2, s13^2, s14^2, s23^2, s24^2, s34^2, s13*s12*s13^-1*s23^-1,
 s13*s23*s13^-1*s12^-1, s14*s12*s14^-1*s34^-1, s14*s13*s14^-1*s24^-1,
 s14*s23*s14^-1*s23^-1, s14*s24*s14^-1*s13^-1, s14*s34*s14^-1*s12^-1,
 s24*s23*s24^-1*s34^-1, s24*s34*s24^-1*s23^-1, s34*s12*s34^-1*s12^-1 ];
 [ (), (), (), (), (), (), (), (), (2,3,4), (2,4,3), (), (1,2,3), (1,3,2),
 (), (), () ]
 gap>
 }}}

 e.g. `s14*s12*s14^-1*s34^-1` evaluates to (2,3,4) in Sym(4)...
