array Of circumstances surrounding
the death Of Mrs Mary Fieutuch and
her daughter. Sylvia, during a IRE in
their home, 4T5 Henderson street, in

emily were caught in a trap. Both
were so badly burned they died within
a few hours
The Fieutuch home includes a'gro-
Gerry store in its front room, a store
room back OF IL. and a room used as
a bed room and kitchen in the rear.

building to save the women he found
a rope had been fastened to the knob
Of the door OF the bed room-kitchen
and nailed to the wall in such a man
ner the-door could not be opened from
the inside. He broke in and found
Mrs. Fieutuch unconscious on the
floor, her night clothes partly burned.

back on top of a coal stove, which,
however, had no fire in it. She also
was unconscious and burned. Flames

in the kitchen She denied that she
had seen any rope on the rear door.

implicated denies she had quarreled
with the former or that she knows
anything about the FIRE. The police
have no other evidence against her.
She is held pending further investiga-
ton.
The police are not convinced. the
