left his home at half-pest 5 o'clock on Saturday morning
and weir to work and at half-past 6 o'clock his wife,
who had engaged to der the St Philips Board Schools,
only two or three hundred yards from her house, leaving

was away no outcry was heard, and even the neighbours
occupying rooms in the house closely adjoining never
heard • scream. When the mother returned at half-past

alarmed to see snorts issuing train a broken pane of glass
In the front bedroom. Terrified at the conviction that
something in the house had caught fire she rushed

of which was sufficient to unnerve the stoutest heart
The jury returned a verdict to the effect that Mize Mary
Yonne and Joseph Ewer died from accidental suffocation,
and that Albert John and William Henry B wens were
accidentally burnt to death.
