Concord, n. H, April Hilary
Kendall Thaw's petition for a writ of
habeas corpus was granted by Judge
Edgar Aldrich of the United States
district court in an opinion filed with
the clerk of the court here today.
Judge Aldrich said, however. that no
order would be issued for Thaw's dis
charge from custody until arrange
ments have been completed for TAX
ing the case to the United States SUI
preme court on appeal.
Thaw's petition for admission to bail
Judge Aldrich left undetermined, TAX
ing the ground that 1t would be more
appropriate for it to be passed upon
by the supreme court.
The result of the decision is that
Thaw will remain in his present
guardianship and condition for the
present; but that his petition for a
writ of haeas corpus goes to the high
est court in the land with decision
of the lower court in his favor.
Thaw's lawyers have been summon
ed here for a conference on the next
steps to be taken. Those already here
while disappointed in the refusal Of
Judge Aldrich to pass upon the ques-
ton of bail, expressed pleasure at the
general result of the decision. They
declined to make any statement.
Mrs. Godfrey G. Whitney, Thaw's
sister, came from Boston to pass the
day with him.

Victims Mrs. Shackford, Daughter
Of Maine Man

Mrs Shackford and Mrs. Bemis met
death by jumping. one from the fourth
floor and the other from the fifth. The
bodies of the other victims were
found on the fifth floor, two hours aft
er the discovery of the fire and the
medical examiner eXpresse dthe opin-
ion that all had been surfocated
The fire started in the basement,
near the waste paper chute, and the
flames shot rapidly up through this
chute and an elevator well. The whole
building was ablaze when the firemen
arrived. Miss May Boyd, living next
door, was one of the first to see the
fire While another neighbor rang in
an alarm, Miss Boyd rushed into the
burning building and rang the bells in
all the suites. The occupants were
quickly aroused. Many were able to
escape by the stairways. Others used
the file escapes in the rear until flames
bursting from the windows made this
impossible. When the firemen arriv-
ed they carried a number of men and
women down ladders. Several persons
jumped from upper floors into the life
nets.

to them to wait for the firemen, and
ieaped to their death.
Among those trapped on the fourth
floor were Mr.. and Mrs. Clement X.
Rogers and Mrs. Robert Adams. They
hastily fashioned a rope from their
bed clothing and let themselves down
to the second floor, from which they
were able to reach the ground without
injury.
Miss Helen Hartford, who lived on
the third floor, found the doors to her
apartment blocked by smoke and
flames. She rushed to, the fire escape,
where she was temporarily overcome
by smoke. Firemen carried her down
a ladder.
No one had time to dress and there
was considerable suffering from ex-
posture in the chilly air of the early
morning The survivors found shelter
in nearby apartment houses.

began an investigation in an effort to
determine the cause of the fire.

Many Narrow Escapes

All the inmates of the house were
asleep when the fire broke out and
many of them had narrow escapes in
making their way to safety. Some were
painfully burned and few were in
jured by jumping from windows. All
of the injured will recover.
The fire was spectacular in the ex-
IRENE Nearly all of the suites were
small kitchenette apartments in which
the occupants were trapped as the
flames raced through each story. Men,
women and children were standing on
the window lodges shrieking for help
when the firemen arrived Some
reached the ground by crawling along
narrow copings to the fire escapes.
Others managed to reach small bal
comics on the front of the houses from
which they were taken down over the
fire ladders.
1t was not until hours after the
blaze had been extinguisned that the
list of dead and injured could be made
up. Owing to the number of persons
who lived in the house, several were
reported missing, who afterwards We're
found to be safe

was opened last September, is esti-
