MATCHES SET FIRE
TO CLOTHES, CHILD
BURNED TO DEATH

TO be burned alive as the result, it
is said, OF playing with matches, was
the fate of Rosie Lawalish, the 4-year-
old daughter of Stephen ana Alice
LaWalish, of l04S Harrison avenue,
Kearny, late yesterday afternoon
Tony, a 2h-year-old brother OF the
dead child, was also burned so badly
about the face and hands that he will
probably be disfigured for life. At the
time OF the tragedy the father was
away at work and the mother had gone
to a nearby store.
The occupants of the second floor of
the large tenement house i'm which the
Lawalishs live learned first about the
accident through hearing the screams
Of the children. Next they saw smoke
issuing from the windows Of the fiat
on the first floor Rushing downstairs
they saw the little ones battling with
flames that enveloped them, the cloth
ing of the girl being all ablaze and the
little one rolling about on al mattress
in agony.
A cry for help brought some men
from the rendering plant nearby, one
of them being Eugene j. Schwarz, pres
ident OF the concern. He found that
the little girl was literally burned to
death, and when he sought to lift her
from the mattress her face was
charred, the clothes gone and the flesh
burned to crisp. IT was evident, too,
that the child had inhaled the flames
A veterinarian employed by Mr.
Schwarz dressed the wounds of the
little boy with simple remedies and a
physician was notified.
