year-old mother who lost ner life
when coal oil flames enveloped her
as she was preparing breakfast in
her home in the 5000 block of Grant
Rd. n. w, Yesterday.
The verdict set at rest the
reports of mysterious circum-
stances surrounding the tragedy,
which aroused relatives and friends
of the dead woman. No tangible
evidence to sustain these reports
was found by the coroner.
Ed Schlorb was burned on the
face and arms in his efforts to
rescue his wife. Mrs. Schlorb had
gone TO the kitchen to prepare her
husbands breakfast. The husban nd
awakened after an explosion ap-
parently caused by coal oil. used an
AK in a vain effort to reach his wife.
He succeeded in making his way
through two doors. but found both
entrances blocked by flames.
Saved the Children
Despairing of saving his wife, the
carpenter rushed to the beds OF his
young children, Lillian, one year
old, and Freddie, two years I'D.
bundled them into his arms, and
ran outside.
Mrs. George A. Burke, mother of
Mrs Schlorb, screamed HISTORICALLY
and attempted to rush into the leap
ing flames after her daughter only
TO be restrained by her husband
and son-in-law.

John Questioned
The Coolidge case has been en-
tered in police records as entirely
accidental. The records show Jonn
Coolidge was driving the TlLmbul
car when the accident occurred
that Motor Patrolman Henry r.
Miller saw the affair, sent the VIC
tins to the hospital in a police
ambulance and took Coolidge ana
Cunningham to the nearest ponce
station.

police officials to his office, and he

The Venos today are nearly re-
covered from the effects of the acct
dent, according to hospital authori
ties. The police report of the accl-
dent indicates the couple were but
slightly injured in the crash, sur
fering decorations only.
Under the motor vehicle laws of
the State police have wide latitude
in the case. Capt. Fred Hunt, in
charge of the Cedar Hill police sta
ton, booked the case yesterday.
Then he heard the story of Police
man Miller who placed a charge of
reckless driving against Coolidge.
Hunt learned the offender was the
son of President Coolidge and told
him to leave. Coolidge was in
formed he would be sent for il

No charge had been lodged gainst
Coolidge and il was believed none
would be. That, too is within the
police powers.

hewitt at the District Mo4gue
today.
Coroner hewitt invited the
women to leave shortly after
Detective Sergeant james
Flaherty began the reading OF
Smith s alleged confession,
teeming with sordid details of
his married life, and illicit
relations with his daughter.
Flaherty had read only two sent
ences at the beginning of the con
fession when Coroner hewitt beck
oned to Assistant District Attorney

with him in whisper.

you to.leave until after the reading
Of this statement"
All Leave the Room
Ten women left the room, none
remaining. and the reading of tn ,
statement continued in all its morbid
details.
According to the alleged confess
sion, Smith said he had an unhappy
married life. When his daughter,
Elizabeth, was about IA years old.
the statement continued, he first
made improper advances to her.
Discovered by Wife
This continued over period OF
several years, and was finally dis
covered by Smiths wife.
She drove him from the house, the
confession reveals, but allowed him
to return on his promise of good be-
havior.
This promise was broken again
and again, the confession shows,
resulting in a succession of quarrels
with his wife and also with his
daughter.
In the confession, Smith harshly
criticized Elizabeth for improper
dresses and for going out on wild
parties" with sailors and married
men.
Tainted Him, He Says
He also declared that she tainted
him and called him hard names
On the morning of the murder, &C
cording to the confession, Smith re-
turned home from his work as night
Waterman at the Metropolitan Ma
tional Bank. 1t was a. m, and he
found Elizabeth eating breakfast at
the apartment with John Steele, an
admirer of whom Smith violently
disapproved.
Continued the Row
Smith said an argument started
over the fact that no breakfast was
left for him.
After Steele departed, the state
ment read, Smith and his daughter
went to her bedroom and continued
the squabble.
Smith was getting very nervous
and agitated as the argument
progressed.
Suddenly he grasped his daughter
by the throat, according 20 the con.
fession. and threw her on tire bed,
and killed her.
Smith had no eyes for the curious
who filled the office or for those
who peeked in at him through the
