to death in his automobile while it was
parked early this morning at Mime

His body was badly charred.
Trouble for Brian started yesterday
when he was laid-off as foreman OF the

closed the doors. declaring that he In
tended to sleep there.
Coleman retired to the watchman's
house, but his attention was attracted
a few minutes later by the smell OF
smoke. He went out and found Brian's
automobile in flames. Coleman rushed
to the machine and opened the door,
but the smoke was so thick and the
fire so hot that he was unable TO see
whether Brian was in the car.
