House from Accidental Cause.

William T. Granville. thirty years old, and his
wife, Annie. thirty years old, were found dead
last night from gas poisoning in a room In d
boarding house. at No. 221 East 18th street. Gas
was found escaping from stove near the bed.

For the last year Granville and his wife had
lived in the house, which is kept by Mrs. Barbara
Waterman. The couple went to theatre yes
terday afternoon, and following their dinner last
night directly to their room. Late in the

open, and the and his wife were found In bed.

joined that of the gas jet, and il is supposed that

accidentally turned on. DR.. Zehnder, called from

about half hour. The bodies were taken TO the
morgue
