hour. Many men and women were injured
some of them severely hurt Numbers Of
women tainted, and we were obliged to carry
them out. Que two hundred pound man we
logged into the First Precinct station house
perfectly senseless Fortunately, few children
were present. The draft of air through the
theatre was terrible. 1t nearly blew my hat
Off 1t was as strong as a stiff wind. l sup
pose the suction was created by opening the
rear doors of the theatre.
Kate CIaxton's Story.
Kate Claxton testified that at the beginning
of the last act, just as the curtain went up, she
heard rumbling noise, and two minutes after
saw flames. She thinks the fire caught in the
flies and it Immediately enveloped the stage.
Mr., Studley and Mr.. Murdoch were on the
stage, together with Mrs. Farren and herself,
and efforts were made to quiet the audience.
She said to them, BE quiet, we are between
you and the fire. The great doors are open and
the passages are clear" The flames were then
swooping own upon her and the other act
ors, and she ran out and down into the audi
ence and escaped. Mrs. Farren, Mr.. Murdoch
and Mr.. Studley also Joined in the effort to
quiet the audience. No fire was used in the
presentation of the play.
The Scene Outside.
The scene about the theatre on the street was
heartrending. Many who escaped uninjured
rushed wildly about, inqulring for their miss
ing friends Persons insensible or disabled by
injuries were carried rapidly away to secure
places. Many were taken into the First Pre-
cinct Station which was filled with injured
persons and their friends. Some lay upon the
floor insensible, while their friends were doing
everything in their power to restore them to
consciousness. Others were wildly frantic, and
with blood streaming down their faces or cloth
ing, were gesticulating and screaming and
could not be quoted. Ambulances from Lorg
Island College Hospital took away the wound,
ed as rapidly as possible from the street
AS the crowd was surging from the building
the means and cries of those suffering or in
wild alarm for their lives could be distinctly
heard. Some attempted to save themselves by
seeking quicker egress than through the doors
One man dropped from an upper window to
the small roof of the police station and was
rescued from the billiard rooms of Samuels by
persons who saw his wretched plight. FLESH
dropped from his hands IN shreds Those who
were the last to come out we've chased rapidly
by the flames and in not a few instances severe
ly burned; but many more were injured by the
press of the crowd. If one fell down there was
no possibility of raising him, and others behind
rushed over and trampled upon him.
The following are the actors and actresses
who appeared in the play: Chas. R. Thorne
Jr., j. B. Studley, 81. S, Murdoch, Claude
Burroughs, FL. f. Daily, and Miss Kate Clax
ton, Miss Fanny Morant, Miss Ida Vernon
Miss Kate Gerard, and Mrs. FarreD.
The theatre cost $780, 900, and one of its own
erS saws the insurance is $4,000.
