PACKED IN SOLID MASS.
Occupants Of Burning Tenement
Helpless on Fire Escapes.
THREE PERSONS LOSE LIVES

ousIy, by Jumping from WINDOWS
Prompt Action of Policemen Respon-
sible for Small Number of Fatalities.
New York, April 3.-Three persons
were killed, fifteen were injured, some
of them seriously, and the lives Of
nearly hundred persons were endan,
gered by fire in a five-story tenement
house at "A Hester street. The dead
are Berel Weinstein, his wife and
their one-year-old son. They were
suffocated and burned in their apart
ments on the fifth floor. That more
lives were not lost was largely due to
the prompt action of three policemen,
who, seeing flames in the hall, rushed
through the building and aroused the
members of sixteen sleeping families.
By that time the stairways were a
mass of flames and the only means of
exit was by the fire escapes. In their
mad attempt to escape scores of scant-
lily clad men, women and children
crowded the narrow iron platforms
and ladders until they became wedged
in solid masses on the fire escapes,
unable to extricate themselves and
blocking the way of those who had
not yet succeeded in getting out OF
the building
Many Jump to the Ground.
This was the situation when the
firemen arrived and began to run W
ladders to take the panic stricken
fugitives from their perilous posi-
tions. In some instances the com
bined efforts of half a dozen tiremen
were required to drag a woman OIL
child from the tightly packed plat
forms. While firemen on ladders and
others on the ground were calling out
to them that there was no danger and
that help soon would reach them they
began, one by one, to jump from the
windows. David Miller sprang from
| a fourth story window and sustained
injuries which probably will cause his
death. Rosie Gallmann, Fannie Ber
soft and Ryman Mettlemann, wht
| jumped from windows on the seconC
| and third floors, have broken limbs
and were taken to hospitals. Severa
others were internally injured. Many
others who sustained more or less
serious bruises refused to go to hos
pitfalls.
Weinstein and his wife and bah!
were found lying dead in their rooms
on the top floor of the burning build
ing after the flames had been extin
guished

MEHERR|N CASE
STILL A MYSTERY
Negro in Whose House Good:

the County.
Especial to The Times Dispatch, ]

Special to The Times -Dispatchl
HERRIN, VA. April 12.-There
was scarcely any new developments In
the Wood case near here on yesterday.
although reports of various natures
were flying thick and fast during the
entire day. Several such reached here
yesterday evening to the effect that
two more had bsen arrested near the
scene of the tragedy, but Investigation
late yesterday evening led to the fact
that this report was unfoundcd. In
the midst OF SO many different rumors,
and the fact that those closely con-
nected with the arrest made on Friday
evening refusing to give out any lnfor-
nation Of any kind, 1t is a hard mat
ter to get at all the facts in this In
teresting case. But the impression Is
general among those on the outside,
that more evidence has been secured
against Beasley, who is safely locked
up In jail at Lunenburg Courthouse,
than has been given out. A rumor
reached here on yesterday, which has
not been denied by any one. that the
negro, John Knight, with several
aliases and in whose home Beasley
was staying, had sold all of his house.
hold goods and stock and rented his
farm out and had sent his wife away,
ana he himself left the same day Beas-
ley was put under arrest. There seems
no doubt but that the strongest evil
dence secured UP to this time is against
this negro, and vigorous efforts are
being made to locate him. It was in
his house that the goods from the store
OF young Wood We're found. and it is
the Impression that he did not intend
TO leave so early, but the officers We're
SO close upon him that he departed.
Beasley has so far remained mum on
.he subject Tomorrow is court day
IN the county, and it is expected that
new developments will occur, as tho
officers are working hard to cloar up
the mystery.
