suffocated them. Neither Mr.. Nc

It required repeated knocking to re
ceive an answer, when Mr.. Mckee,
with barely strength to do so, reach
ed the door on his hands and knees.
His wife was found to be very seri-
ously affected, and for several days
both were suffering from the effects
of inhaling the gas.
