Charleston, w. Va. A mass of
smoking ruins is all that is left of
West Virginia's state capitol here.
One man is dead and four injured, one
probably fatally. as a result of a fire
which razed the building.
The dead man is Charley Walker, a
roustabout, who was caught under a
falling chimney Oscar Thaxton. city
fireman, also was caught under the
bricks and his spine injured.
Practically all state records were
destroyed, and state officials could say
no more than that they were price
less"
The building and contents were in
sured for approximately $500, 900.
A large amount of ammunition
stored on the third floor was exploded
by the fire.
Probably the most destructive fire
in the history of the state started In
the loft of the capitol. inaccessible to
the firemen, it was soon evident that
the building was doomed
In their fury the flames engulfed the
building, spreading from one part of
the immense structure to the other
until the officials and employees were
early driven from the building, leaving
behind them in their fight almost
everything, although some efforts
were made to salvage private proper
ty. which was done at the risk of the
owners.
Gov. John J. Cornwell who was in
his office when the fire started. was
one of the last of the officials to leave
the building.
