THE NEWHALL HOUSE INQUEST.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 30.-The interest in
the Newhall house inquest which had be-
gan to fatten, was revived to, day by the
! testimony of various fremen.
Chief Lippert said the tiremen and po
licemen did their duty in saving
| lives. He considered thetele-
graph wires very much in the
way, but did not give orders to cut the
wires. The department has no crew and
horses for the fire escape. The fremen
had often looked over the premises to
know what to do in an emery
ency. If five companies of
the department had not been at
! the other fire more lives could have been
saved at the burning hotel The latter
had not sufficient fire escapes, in the opin-
! ion of The witness, but he added that the
| Newhall @s= nearly as we'll provided with
escapes as any other hotel.
| The testimony of the other fremen
agreed in the main points.
In the afternoon session David Rose,
secretary of the local board of underwrit
ers, testified that he had examined the
| hotel shortly before the fire in regard to
| insurance rate. He found the
hose on pegs instead of reels.
The drying room was extremely
dangerous, and the proprietor refusing to
substitute wire for wooden bars, he conse
quentIy addressed circular to agents, ad-
vising them that the rate should not be re-
duced. The Newhall house rate was higher
than any other hotel on account of its dan
gerous condition, and A. G. Cary, one of
| was extremely dangerous, and he did not
! consider the risk good even at rate of 2
per cent.
Several Of the fremen testified TO being
timid about entering the building because
they knew it as a fire trap.
The district attorney stated, in answer
to a question of juror, that he had en-
deavored to show that the fire was in
cendiary, but any positive evidence to that
effect would be taken advantage of by
the other side. He could not present
all the evidence in the possession
of the prosecution without injury to the
case against Scheller. The juror dis
agreed and wanted all the evidence. The
| district attorney, replying, said if the jury
! were not satisfied with the evidence to
show that the fire was incendiary they
could return perforce a verdict of acct
dental burning.
CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 30.-John I. Coving-
ton, superintendent of insurance for the
adjustment company of this city, has re-
turned from Milwaukee, having completed
an investigation and adjustment of the
Newhall building and contents. He makes
the loss on the building $4,000 insur-
ance, $78,500; loss on contents, $31 900;
surance $4,000. He says the construction
of the building was no more
hazardous than that of most hotels, while
the appliances considered valuable to ex-
tinguish fires were more numerous in it
than in most hotels Mr.. Covington re-
CARDS that the fatal error was in the effort
of the employees to extinguish the fire be-
fore alarming the guests. The Cincinnati
insurance companies will pay their insur-
ance without litigation.
