The Dead:
FARRELL MADDEN. four years old.
The Injured:

4 AAC AhguACA
! MRS. LUKE MADDEN, burned about
head, arms and legs and injured by fall-
! ing from piazza roof Cannot recover.
LUKE MADDEN, burned about head
and hands, and side badly injured by
: jumping. Condition critical.
HELEN MADDEN, 10; right arm
broken and minor injuries sustained by
/ jumping.
| ANNIE MADDEN, Is; face and hands
burned. and back injured by jumping.
The four injured are at the North
Adams hospital, where they were taken
in an automobile furnished by VIII
| liams college student when call was
sent out for a conveyance.
With the exception of the l3-year-old
daughter, Helen, the entire family were
asleep on the second floor of the house
when the fire started They were unable
to reach the street floor because of the
flames and made their way TO the roof,
where they literally rolled of onto the
frozen ground below.
After the rest of the family had re-
| tired, Helen. who is a school girl, started
for her room to study her lessons. Her
room was cold and SO she secured an
oil stove which she lighted before start
ing up stairs. The stove leaked, and all
the way up the stairs left trail of oil.
AS she reached the top stair, she Stun
bled and fell, dropping the stove, which
exploded, and threw burning oil in every
direction. The blaze followed the oil
down over the stairs, and in moment
it seemed as If the entire house was a
mass of flames.
When the shouts OF her daughter
awakened Mrs. Madden, she jumped from
her bed and grabbing her baby, Farrell,
started Tor the window. The heat of the
fire was so intense and the smoke so
thick that she was partially overcome,
ana in some manner the baby slipped
from her arms into the cauldron Of
flames. Later the body was found,
burned to crisp. The woman herself
was barely able to reach the piazza roof
from which she rolled to the ground,
followed d few moment later by her hus-
band and two daughters, all OF whom
were flaming torches.
After time the mother aroused her
self sufficiently to crawl on her hands
and knees across the road toward the
home of Samuel White all the time
feebly shouting Fire, firel" White
heard the woman's cries and went to her
assistance. After carrying her into the
house he returned and found the father
making desperate efforts to cross tie
street. he, too, being unable to walk.
The two girls he found lying on the
lawn unconscious.
Although herself in dying condition,
Mrs. Madden repeatedly called for her
boy.
The Madden home was practically de-
stroyed with all Of its furnishings The
building was two-story frame struc-
tre and was valued at about $4,000.
Madden is a laborer in moderate cir
cumstances.
