TWO BODIES
ON THE FLOOR
and Child We're Burn
ed to Death
NEAR RUTLAND TO-DAY
Mrs. Arthur Hawiey and Son Roy Were
Probably Victims of Attempt to
Start a Fire With
Kerosene.
NEAR RUTLAND TO-DAY

Rutland, April 2o.--Mrs. Arthur Haw.
ley, a young woman residing at Mill
Village, suburb Of Rutland, and her
son, Roy, were burned to death this
morning at their home. The two were
alone in the house at the time Of the
accident and the neighbors were attracted
to the house BY the smoke. They found
the dead bodies Of the mother and her
child on the kitchen floor Near the
stove was an empty kerosene can.
It is believed that Mrs. Hawley at
tempted to start the fire in the kitchen
stove with the aid Of kerosene, at the
same time holding the child in her arms.
The clothing was burned from both the
mother and child, but death probably
resulted from inhaling the flames, as the
bodies were not badly charred
Mrs. Hawley was 2l years Of age and
her son was just a year old. The husband
and father is a milk peddler in this city.
