Miss Lillian Roach UnCOn-

suit Of Odd Accident
SUPPOSED TO HAVE
FALLEN OVER HOSE

gas and burned about one wrist and

King street, Miss Lillian Roach. aged
Is years. who came to Wilmington six
months ago from Georgetown to
enter the employ Of Lippincott
and Company, is in a serious condi-
ton at the Delaware Hospital.
The young woman since she came
to Wilmington made her home with
Mrs. Kate Roberts at the King street
address. occupying a third story
room. Nothing was known OF her
plight until somebody at the store
where she was employed called her
home by telephone and asked why
she had not reported for work. Mrs.
Roberts sent her cousin, Mrs. Blanche
Sypherd, upstairs to learn the
trouble. Miss Roach's door was open
and upon entering the room Mrs
Sypherd found the occupant lying on
the floor attired in her night clothing
Badly frightened, Mrs. Sypherd sum
moned Mrs Roberts.
The young woman lay unconscious
and beside her was a small gas stove
upset. with the gas flowing from a
half closed valve. Around the young
woman's feet was wrapped the hose
OF the stove but it had not been dis
connected from the stove or gas jet.
The Phoenix ambulance was quick
ly summoned and Miss Roach was
hurried to the hospital She was still
unconscious early this afternoon but
there are hopes for her recovery.
Just how she was overcome by gas
and at the same time burned herself
she will have to explain herself in
the event of her recovery. II is pre-
sumed, however. that she had gotten
out of bed to turn up the gas in the
stove, and while doing so became i'll
and tainted. In falling. il is thought,
she knocked over the stove and in that
way burned herself The gas was not
lighted when Mrs. Sypherd entered
the room which was well filled with
the fumes, and is supposed to have
gone out during Miss Roachs strug
/ gle on the floor, the hose being en-
tangled around her feet. She lay dou-
bled up as though she had been in
pain.
Mrs. Roberts says she believes the
affair was purely an accident. In
speaking of Miss Roach she said the
young woman was we'll liked in the
house. She was in good spirits last
night but just what time she re-
tired Mrs. Roberts was unable to say
