MAN AFTRE BY BLOWN SAFE
EXPLAINS THAT HE WENT INTO
THE PLACE TO SLEEP.

His Eyes Blown out and His Clothes
Burned On-Back window Forced
Books and Papers in the safe
Charred- safe Left Locked saturday.
An explosion in the Office Of the Long
Dock Milling Company at os Pavonia
avenue. Jersey City. drew a crowd there
at 1925 o'clock last night. Among the
people who came before the flremen one
man thought he heard eroans from the
Office. lie tried the door. but II was
locked 1t was not heavy door and
he succeeded in breaking 1t. Inside the
floor and the ofYice furniture near the
safe were burning. The safe door was
open.
The volunteers and the firemen who
had como by this time found man lying
under a desk. He was ablaze. They
carried him to the street and then had
him taken to st. Francis Hospital.
There it was found that the man had
been burned on nearly every part of his
body The only part Of his clothing
that had escaped the fire were his shoes
and they had to be cut on. He recovered
consciousness enough to say that he was
Frank Walsh. pedler and had no home.
but had a sister living at SIS Central ave-
nue.. East Newark. The physicians at
the hospital said that Walsh was very
seriously hurt and urged the police to
wait an hour or so before trying to get
any explanation from him.
1t was not hard matter to extinguish
the blaze in the milling company's office.
The fire was confined to the office section
on the first floor and did not spread be-
yond the room where 1t was discovered.
Its area did not extend beyond a dozen
feet from the safe. The building stands
near the Erie Railroad entrance to the
Hudson tunnels and has a frontage Of
about fifty feet.
The rear abuts on the railroad yards
and q back window had been forced open.
The fire had charred the edges Of books
and papers in the open safe. Nothing
had been stolen 30 far as could be ascer-
tanned. The inner compartments Of the
safe we're not opened.
The police got into communication with
George Brinkerhoff. the manager Of the
company. When he reached Jersey City
from his home in Rutherford he told Capt.
Larkins OF the detective force that he was
certain he had closed the safe when he
left the Office at o'clock.
1t was not until after midnight that the
doctors thought 1t was safe to let the
police question Walsh. He told his in
quisitors that he had gone into the milling
company's Office through . door and had
fallen asleep there with a lighted cigarette
in his hand. He said that he remembered
nothing more until he woke to find him
self afire. He had heard no explosion
and didn't think there was any. Both
his eyes. however. are gone. and the hos
pital physicians say they appear to have
been blown out
