 here early today. The bodies of Ellen German. 60, and George Wheel CT, 45, employees of the Hotel, who perished, were found in rooms of the old part of the building after the blaze was extinguished. Webster Richard son, 35, a guest, is thought to be dying at the North Adams hospital of in juries received when he fell from a line improvised from bedclothing.

THIS LIQUOR
 NOT MODERN

Andrew J. Stempel. painter, 100 Roosevelt street who on March IS drove his car through the door of the Marsh and Rankin Confectionery store, opposite the Remington Arms plant was found guilty of two charges in City court today and was fined $100 were set at $2OO. The two specific charges were driving under the in f1uence of liquor and reck1essness.
 Eugene Marsh, 1S6 Boston avenue, part owner of the store testified that when. the crash first occurred he thought the U. M. c. had blown up. He was asked if he smelled liquor on the man. He stated that he did not know the smell of modern whiskey but that it did not smell like the old stuff When asked how he could dis tfnguish the difference he stated that he had tried plenty of the old stuff but none of the new.
 Sergeant kehoe was then put on the stand, he was asked if Stempel was drunk at the time the accident occurred. He stated that he was. When asked if he had taken particu- lar notice of his condition he stated that he had because after Stem pol had been taken to the Second Pre- cinct one of the officers happened to remark that he was a day late that he should have celebrated the day before which was March r.
 He was then asked if he nad come in contact with many trunks since his appointment to the police force thIr- teen years ago. He stated that he had and that he saw plenty of them before he became a cop.
 Stempel was next called to testify in his own behalf. He was asked if he was drunk and stated that he was not, that he had but two glasses of Italian wine. He stated that he did not touch a drop of H- quor since September 23, 1907. Ask ed how he remembered the date so well he said that he was returning home one night and he found a drunken man lying In his doorway and he made a promise to himself at that time that he would never drink anything that would affect him like that. {. The evidence. however, presented in the case seemed to convince Judge Comley that he was guilty of the two charges which had been placed l a gainst him and he therefore inn posed sentence.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-31

It. was expected that Mir. Cornell s finding on the matter would be deliv- cred to the members of the board not later than today. A call to MT. Cor nelPS home today brought forth the information that he had gone to New Haven to attend a court session and was not expected home before this evening.
 President James A. Coleman of the Board of Fire commissioners was also asked what disposition had been made of the matter but he stated that he had been away for the past few days and did not really know what action the city attorney had taken on the matter during his absence. He stated though that he expected to confer with MT. Cornell some time today all though there had been no definite hour set for the meeting.
 It is hardly thought likely, however, that the city attorney has arrived at a decision on the mater and the va will probably be held up for some time
