was not answered. Mr.. Powell,
thinking the cook would be all

discover the source of the escap-
ing gas. The trouble was found
and Mr.. Powell started to open all
the windows. A few seconds after
reaching the top of the basement
stairs he heard someone fall. He
investigated and found that the
Jap was lying on the floor Of his
room nearly dead. The gas fumes
had taken effect as soon as the
man had tried to arise.
Mr.. Powell Immediately awoke
all in the house and dragged the

jet in the Jap's room was found
partly turned on. Had it been turn

Powell family would have been as
phyxiated. Mr.. Powell thinks the
Jap turned the gas off and then
accidentally turned the stop cock
on again
