LOSS OF LIFE IN FIRE
 TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE

must review the evidence carefully and deliberately.
 T find that the steam pipes caused the fire by being placed too close to the wood of the joists. There is no doubt in my mind that the overheated pipes caused the fire.
 But the children should have escaped, and would have done so had it not been for the partition built in the hall at the foot of the stairway. This is what caused their death''
 The coroner said that the building was also deficient in the lack of automatic de- vices for opening of doors.
 Another body was recovered from the ruins today, making the total 166.
