Miss Kate Miller Leaped
From the Manhattan
Building
IS BRUISED AND BURNED
Other Women Occupants of
Apartments Figure in
Thrilling Rescues.

One woman was perhaps fatally in
jured and two others were rescued from
perilous situations at a fire which gut
ted the Manhattan building, 713 Four
teenth street, last midnight. The
building is one used partly for business
offices and partly for apartments.
Hovering between life and death as a
result Of burns received in her bedroom
on the third floor and injuries In a leap
tc the ground, fifty feet below, Miss
Kate Miller, thirty-fYe years old. is
lying in a ward in the Emergency Hos
pital. while Drs. White and Martin are
momentarily expecting the end.
All hope of recovery has been aban-
doned. 1t is believed Miss Miller in
hailed some of the sitting smoke that
permeated the atmosphere OF her room,
and the doctors say death is the only
thing that can relieve her suffering
On a cot adjoining that occupied by
Miss Miller is another victim of the fire.
She Is not in a serious condition, al
though she suffered much from shock
and smoke. Her name is Miss Geor-
giana Peck. twenty years old, who re-
ceived a sprain OF her right shoulder
and was rescued by Policeman J. B.
L1arrick, OF the First precinct, while
hanging by her hands from the sill of
a second-story window. just as the
woman was about to release her hold
on the sill, which was being eaten away
by flames, Larriek grasped her blistered
hands and snatched her from the Jaws
Of death by lifting her bodily into a
window directly across an areaway.
Tive Women Rescued.
Miss Peck is substantially built
woman. and Larrick said today that he
does not know how he was ever able
to lift her, especially while flames were
licking the walls on all sides of him,
and his face was filed with smoke
Miss Peck tainted just as Larrick lift
ed her from the window sill. The he
roic policeman removed his coat and
carried her through the main hall
which was filled with smoke. flames, and
excited ffren1en. He sent her to the
Emergency Hospital and then returned
TO the building TO assist

flames. Miss Francis Mott, living in the
rear room on the third floor, scram-
bled into a skirt and leaped out OF
