SET On FIRE BY HIS BABY BROTHER.

sad case, in which little child set on fire his
baby brother causing his death, occurred yesterday
afternoon at No. AZ Hall-st Brooklyn. Walter
Blake, jeweler in this city, lives at that number
and has three children. Yesterday, shortly after
noon Mrs. Blake went into the back yard, leaving
her baby Alfred. tiiteen months old, asleep III the
cradle, ana the next older child. Willie, playing IN
the room The latter is three and half years old.
AS soon as his mother gone he got tho kerosene
can from closet and poured its contents over the
sleeping infant in the cradle. He then tiled to
reach the matches. but not being tall enough put
box on the chair and then small stool on the box
and climbed TO the top of it. Having secured the
matches he went back TO the cradle and deliber-
atry set fire TO the kerOsene-sOaked blanket.
Startled by the screams of the children, the mother
rushed into the room TO lind the cradle and its con-
tents in flames She put them out but not before
the shoes were burned from the infants feet, and
the unfortunate child died within two hours.
Willie did not appear to realize hat he had done,
and he again got matcn later in the afternoon and
tried to lire 10 the body of his dead brother. His
parents say that he has apparently uncontrolla-
Bile desire to play with matches.
