FAMILY LOST IN FLAMES.
Inquest to FoUozc Finding OF Bodice
Skulls Crushed.
tBv Telegraph to The Tdbune-I

A.burv Park Oct 26-Four persons we.
burned to death last night in a hre which
destroyed the story home OF Harvey u
Spivey negro laborer, at No 16O Unionsave-.
West Asbury Park. The dead are: Isabel spivey,
wife and mother, twenty-six years old: Mamis
Louise Spivey, ten years old; Gladys spivey.
seven years old. and William Harvey spivey.
three years old.
The exact origin Of the hre is mystery which
coroner's jury will try to solve. The Spivey
home was in populous community. but II was
burned to the ground in less than thirty min
utes. The husband and father was absent at the
time. and the neighbors and hremen did not
learn Of the death of his wife and children until
he returned to find his home mass Of shoulder
ing ruins. Search at once made and the
four bodies, charred and burned almost beyond
recognition. discovered The mother and
her children were found close together Th9
skulls of the boy and the eldest girl wers
crushed, probably by the falling timbers-
The hremen and neighbors worked hard to
extinguish the flames when the alarm was
turned in. They made several attempts to enter
the house. but were driven back each time By
the intense heat
The fire was caused, 1t is believed By over>
turned kerosene lamp. Tho theory advanced
is that Mrs. spivey. who sewing became
drowsy and dropped to sleep with her arms
resting on a sewing machine The lamp was
thus knocked off and exploded. the burning oil
covering the mother and her children. who were
nearby. Neighbors say they heard the chl-
dren scream just before the flames were dis
covered. Mrs. Spivey, they say, rushed out q
the front door and called for help She then
dashed back into the house to save her children.
The husband and father frantic whom he
learned the fate Of his wife and children He
made several attempts to rush into the burn
ing building but forcibly restrained by hia
friends. AS 1t was learned positively
that his family had persisted IN the nre he
begged to be killed
The fact that the skulls Of two OF tho victims
were crushed has led Coroner Bennett to ordeI
an inquest. 1t will be held Saturday afternoon
The neighbors maintain, however, that there
is reason 10 suspect foul play, since the
Spivey home was nothing more than shell ana
the inmates did not have time 20 leave the
burning building before they suffocated.
