Heat Charts Examined.
The temperature charts at the Ma

story Of the heat of the boilers of the
brewery since September Is. were
taken by Detectives Baur and Corn

Central Office for use at the inquest

Each of these charts show . de-:

An inquiry today revealed the fact

- Disproves Heat Theory.
The increase In heat was undoubtedly
due to increased combustion In the
other boilers. This demonstration
knocked the pins from under the faith
hitherto displayed in the variation,
shown on the charts. %.
The statement that these charts. ol
the chart OF September II. do not show
