ing tho screams OF the girls in their rooms, he
kicked the wire screen from the win
dow Of his room and went to their
assistance, tearing of screens from their
windows and helping them to the roof. The
smoke was very dense at the time. The witness
eaid he was near the room in which tue bodies
of the girls were subsequently, found, but as he
heard no alarm from that particular room he did
not think any one WAS in it, and did not attempt
to break tho screen from the windows. No fire
