the men were cutting out an obstruc-

get in over the door, and after they got
in there we could not hear a sound.
Immediately requested the deputy chief
to cut of water on the front, and 1 or
dered il OFF on the rear. But 1 could
still hear the water, and the thought
struck me IL was No. 6 engine, and /
went to the northeast corner Of Seventh

Chief Was Surprised,
In response to questions Chief Proctor
reiterated that he had first told Chief
Wagner the men were trapped, and that
the chief was surprised. He said Lana
han was with him when he told the
chief. (Chief Wagner had stated that
he had discovered the men)
Chief Proctor said further that he
saw and heard the crash when the col
lapse came, and that II sent up a burst
Of flame and sparks. Sullivan, he de-
clared, could not have helped seeing

Q. Now, have you anything to add,
Mr.. Proctor, that occurs to you that

there was j company at the door and

Il met the deputy chief and said I am
going to the rear which was my posi-

dered No. 16 out of the door, because
the two upper floors were a solid mass
of flames.
Q. Had they gotten in?
a. Yes. sir. The door was partly open
G. What fire was there on the first
floor?
A There was considerable fire in the
back, next TO the alley, at the stairway
and windows. Owing to the condition OF
the fire and knowing the construction
OF the building. and knowing that she
was gone, 1 would not allow No. is to
cross the door.

the building from the rear, but saw no

no lives to save and he knew the build
