o'clock, and not finding his wife and young
est child, thought they had gone TO visit
netghbors. To pass the time until their
return he sat down and began to read.
Finally he smelled gas. He traced the odor
to bedroom and found the door locked.
He climbed on a chair, looked through the
glass transom, and saw his wife and child
lying in bed.
After calling a neighbor to assist him
the door was opened and the woman found
with her child clasped closely in her arms.
Both died soon after.
