The FIRE INQUEST AT WEsTBoRo' The
result Of the official inquiry into the causes of
the destruction of the Reform. School build
ing is given in its appropriate place. The du-
ty of the jury was a delicate and important one,
but their investigations were conducted with
much patience and impartiality, and their YER
dict viii be generally approved. District At
torney Aldrich appeared at the request of the
magistrate and the officers of the institution,
and contributed much to the satisfactory eluci-
dation of the points on which the jury were
called to decide. They did not receive testi-
mony as to the identity of the boys, whose
confessions have been already published, and
give no opinion on that subject. Upon the
structure of the building, and its means of
preventing extraordinary danger, like the
present one, their verdict is explicit and well
defined. They attribute the destruction ofthe
building to the combustible materials of which
the ventilating hues were constructed, to tho
entire absence of fire-proof partitions through
out the whole length of the building, and to
the inadequate supply of ladders and water
for SO extensive structure. The jury ac-
credit large number of the boys, the fire
companies, and the citizens, with much ener
gy and efficiency in resisting the progress of
the flames, and commend the first class to the
especial gratitude of the community and the
State.
