with a plumber of Wilmington, entered the
large iron water tank at the county jail, for

proof paint was Used, and as il is dark
within the tank, the only entrance being 4
man hole in the top, !; candle was taken in
TO give light. About the time one side of
the tank had been painted the gas emitted
by the paint exploded and took fire from
the flame OF the candle, quickly converting
the side OF the vessel into a mass of flame
and filling the Interior with a Sutfucating
gas. Exit from the tank is of necessity
slow, as time is required to squeeze through
the man hole, and by the time the last ri

the bottom OF the tank first AS they had

floor would have filled ali parts equally at
the same time. while the paint burning on
one side only the gas formed ca that side

entirely filled the other. 1t certainly WAS Il
