Fixing Blame for Disaster.
The police vigorously pushed their
5iEQuiry into the causes OF the fire and
made several other arrests Of stage
hands, among them William McMullen,
the operator of the light which started
the fire. He was locked UP and Wilson
Kerr, a lyman at the Meater, was
also placed in a cell. Fifteen mem
sbers of the double octette which takes
part in the song. ''In the Pale Moon
light" have been placed under arrest
by the police, Miss Romain9 being the
sole one who has 30 far eluded the
detectives. They are wanted as wit
nesses and there is no charge against
any Of them. McMullen, the light
Operator, underwent a searching ex-
animation by the police. His story
was as follows: II was standing on
the iron bridge at the right side of the
stage from which the spot light" is
operated. The lamp seemed to be in
good condition, but In the middle OF
the second act, just as I changed from
q white light to a blue one, the arc be-
tween the carbons s%pluttered and
jumped. A spark struck the frayed
edge on the inside Of the border OF
the curtain drapery. A flame about
twelve inches long shot up. l aban-
doned the lamp and clapped my hand
upon the flames, but they spread in
spite of me. l called to have the fire
curtain lowered and yelled to the
house fireman to help me. He came
with a patent fire ~extinguisher, which
had no effect on the flames. Finally
I jumped from the bridge to the stage.
A little child In n of the front boxes
had already been badly burned. I
| seized her and carried her out and
then returned to the theater. Here I
worked pulling people out of the
| choked exits until it was useless to
! stay any longer.
With the arrest of McMullen the
police believe they have the last i'm
portant witness among the theater
employees who are essential to a COM
plete inquiry at the c%oroner's inquest.
