Met AN AWFUL DEATH.
An Invalid Fatally Burned In . Hath II
BLAZING AlcAhOl.


Blaming Alcohol
CHICAGO, Nov. e.-Literally cooked
in bath of blazing alcohol, Mrs. Mary
Lasinski of 81 Wade street received in
luries Sunday morning which resulted
IN her death later in the day. She died
after hours offearful agony. For long
time past she has been an invalid
and, after sundry other means of re-
lief had proved useless. she determined
to try the effect of alcohol baths. Her
first experiment was Sunday morning.
As she stepped into the bath she slipped
and in SO doing splashed the liquid
over the edge. A stream of it ran over
the side and reached the lamp beneath
the bath by which the alcohol was
heated. In an instant the flame
had crept into the bath and before the
i'l-starred woman realized what had
happened she was up to her waist in
living fire. The flames mounted and
wrapped themselves round the upper
part of her body. She shrieked for help
and struggled to escape. In her haste she
slipped back into the bath, and by the
time she could escape from the furnace
She was burnt from head to foot She
ran from the room crying aloud in her
pain The burning alcohol c.aug TO her
skin and she fell ,Srithing to the
floor Al last she tainted from the
agony and when assistance arrived she
was So badly injured that there was no
hope of her recovery. Almost every
particle of skin had been burnt from
her body and every movement en-
HANGED her torture. She died an hour
or two later.
