smoke, and he gave the alarm to Others
in Miss Mary Jordan apartments, where
he boarded. All escaped except Burns
Who was severely injured by flames.
Policeman Knowles, after assisting the
Hartigan family to escape from the third
floor Of the building mounted one fight
higher. Flames shot out of the windows
and set fire to his coat. He looked INTO
the windows Of the Cotter apartments
but could see no signs of life there. The
brave policeman, half suffocated by the
smoke. continued to climb the fire cs-
cape until he reached the top floor. He
heard screams coming from the Mulhearn
apartments and locating them assisted
the dazed people down the fire escape.
Louis Marius was killed by jumping from
q window. When a fireman had reached
the apartments of the family, three Of the
family were dead on the floor and The

the fire escape.
A few moments afterward the woman
