New York, Jan. 31.-Twelve persons,
six men and six women, were burned
to death and several were burned with
but little chance of recovery when fire
destroyed the Colonial hotel in Ho-
bOken.
The bodies were horribly charred
and mutilated
The known dead: Miss Mary Schu-

Elmo Snider, twcnty-six, an official of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company,
and Frank Logan, Jersey City.
One man trapped in room with
the charred remains of two men and
two women became raving maniac.
Brought to the scene by the shrieks
of those who were trapped in the
upper floors of the hotel, hundreds Of
persons mingled their cries of hor-
ror with the screams of the dying
floors were overtaken by flames be-
fore they could reach the windows.
Escape Without Clothing.
Many in the hotel made their es-
cape minus clothing, and several have
disappeared.
One man, who the police say was
with a girl about eighteen, rushed to
his home, secured clothing and was
arrested when he returned.
His companion was burned to a

diamond engagement ring valued at
$1,000.
The hotel was crowded when flames
ate their way from the basement to
the upper floors in few seconds.
Following the first alarm many of
those who later died in flames burst
into the Railways.
They found their way blocked by
solid walls of flames and dense
clouds Of thick, pungent smoke. BY
the time they had a chance to return
to their rooms they found them in
vaded by flames. Trapped in both
sides, the men and women were pow

Find Man a Maniac.
While the firemen were pouring
tons Of water on the blaze more than
two hours after the fire started and
after many of the charred bodies had
been recovered, the rescue squad of
the fire department heard faint cries
coming from one Of the upper rooms.
Guided by the calls for help, the fire.
men picked their way along the
charred Railways.
The calls led them to room on the
third floor. The door had not been
burned away. When the firemen
tried the door they found it barri-
caded. Crashing in the heavy wood of
the door, the firemen found four
crisped bodies piled high against 1t.
Inside was man, running about like
a Gagged animal.
He flew at the firemen like an
enraged tiger when the first of the
rescue squad climbed over the burned
bodies and attempted to carry him
out. Above the other noises his voice
could be heard shrieking:

piled up and stopped me! / couldn't
crawl over them! I couldn't touch
