OVERCOME
BY GAS IN
HIS ROOM
Grego| Nearly Losi His Life
at His Boarding Place
This Morning.

Another Instance OF gas asphyxiation,
although not a fatal one, was discovered
in the Fifth district this morning.
Frank Gregor. so years old, resides at
362 Tenth avenue, New York.
He is one of the expert decorators now
finishing the banking rooms of the Union
Trust company at the new building on
Westminster and Dorrancc streets, and
with his fellow workmen, boards at the
fremont. corner of Broad and Chestnut
streets
Gregor did not come down TO his break
fast and this was so unusual thing for
him to do that David Anderson, one OF
the decorating force. went To room ~
where Gregor sleeps.
Anderson was unable 10 arouse the
supposed sleeper and. detecting the odor
of esccping gas, tried 10 force the door.
The latter was fastened and the key was
in the lock
An alarm was given and Captain Muir
ray and Patrolman T.. j. Kelley started
from the Fifth station to investigate.
Before the officers could reach the
house the key had been pushed out of the
lock and a pass key used.
Gregcr was found disrobed and on the
floor near the door.
IL was theorized that early I'm the
morning he had arisen and turned on the
gas.
There were no matches on tho bureau
and leaving the gas jet to look for one
elsewhere, he from some reason un-
known. fell and was unable 60 rise.
Another theory Is that he JAILED 10

gas and being awakened, had sense

Monday night and was brought to the

the arraignment OF Michael Delehanty, 2s
years old. for an assault upon Thomas
Burke, 80 years old.
Burke was more than able 10 defend
himself and to have rctaliated I'm a way
that would have been painful to Dele

Delehanty is one of the striking weav-

AT meeting held Sunday night
Burke said that he wished TO go to work
as he had family 10 support
