SOME UGLY STORIES
Told About the Death of IA Lady I'm
Washington,

Washington, Jan. 4.-Mrs. Flora c.
Wet2ler, wife of John I. WetZler Of
No. 5l1 F street. northeast, who was
burned yesterday afternoon by her
clothes catching fire from the CRATE Of
the kitchen range, died this morning.
Some mystery surrounds the acct
dent, ana unpleasant stories are in
circulation in the neighborhood in
Which 1t occurred.
Notice of the death was sent to
the coroner, but late this afternoon
the coroner gave a burial permit and
decided that an inquest was not nee
essary. The report rendered by the
police states that the clothes of Mrs
Wetzler caught from Il gasoline stove In
the kitchen, and that the flames were
cxtinguished by her husband. Mr..
Wetzler told a reporter that he and his
stepdaughter were sitting In the dining
room and his wife was busy in the
kitchen. Her apron was Haunting
around the CRATE In II dangerous way,
and he called her attention to ii.
Soon after she uttered a Shrek and
he saw her enveloped in flames. He
quickly threw his overcoat around her
and extinguished the blaze. She
moved through the dining room into
the parlor, and then dashed from the
house into the house OF a neSt-door
neighbor. She was brought back to
her home, placed in bed and the ply
slcians called. Drs. W. p. G. Hazcn.
N. Z. Barnes and L, l.. Frederick re-
sponded. A number of things about
the house seem TO substantiate this
story.
In the kitchen Is a heap of burnt
clothing. Mr.. Weztlers overcoat Is
burned and there are signs of fire in
the parlor, into which. the husband
says, his wife went. The stepdaugh-
ter was too sadly afflicted by grief
when the reporter called TO be ques-
toned about the case. The neighbors
are telling wild stories about the af-
fair. One story is that MIR. and Mrs
Wetzler Were engaged in a fight jus;
before she rushed from the house IL
that OF nelghbor.
This noise may have been tho con-
fusion caused by the discovery and
the extingulshment OF the flames. An
other story IL that Mrs. WetZler was
elected from the house after her
clothes had been stripped off, and
rushing to the house OF ncighbor
rushed back to her own home. and
was refused admittance.
Mrs. Wetzler was under the Influenced
of opiates TO relieve her anguish when
the end came.
The family and physicians were ~
