nine children, ranging in age from 4

tients at the Hospital and Home for
Crippled Children here, were safely re-
moved today when fire was discovered
in the X-ray file storage room.
Although deadly fumes from the

of the children, attendants or firemen
was affected.
Patients Unaware of Fire.
= None of the patients in the new an
mex. mostly adults, was aware of what
was taking place.
The fire was discovered by DR.. George
Osgood, recent University of California
graduate and resident inferno. He de-
tected the fumes which he traced to the
first floor, where three rooms are de-
voted to X-ray work. After cutting
electric wires and using a fire ex-
tinguisher, he summoned the fire de-
partment and aroused the staff.
Fumes Fill Corridor.
BY the time firemen had arrived, the
fumes had filled the lower corridors and
could be detected half block away. A
second alarm was turned in and a call
sent for gas masks.
In the meanwhile, hospital attendants
had started moving the patients. They
were assisted by f1remen who did not
attack the blaze until the children were
evacuated.

Twice Has Been Told She'll
Be Slain if She Talks to Grand
Jury, Mrs. TurIey Says.
FINGERPRINT EXPERT
TESTIFIES AT INQUIRY
Mark on Pistol of Detective Did
Not Correspond to His Print,
Sandberg Declares.

A statement by Fred Sanberg, police
headquarters identification expert, that
he found a partial fingerprint on the
gun which killed Arthur E. Scrivencr
which did not correspond to the dead
detectives fingerprints and the declar-
alton by Mrs. Amelia P. Turley, so
years old, that man had confessed to
her that he killed Scrivener, were out
standing developments today as the
grand jury began its investigation Of
the mysterious death on October 10,
1926.
Mrs. Turley, who talked to news
paper men before she entered the grand
jury room declared that she twice had
been threatened with death If she went
before the grand jury.
What do you think of the Scrivener
case?" Sandberg was asked by reporters
when he came out.
II just told the grand jury" the
fingerprint expert replied
Did you find any fingerprint on the
Scrivener piStol?"
yes"
Was it Scrivener's fingerprint?"
mo, 1t wasn't"
"1lOSc was IL!
81 don't know"
Reluctant to Discuss Question.
Asked to explain where the print in
question was found Sand',erg appeared
reluctant to discuss the matter. Re-
porters followed him through the cor
ridors. He finally said the print was
on the side of the pistol There was
no fingerprint on the trigger. Sandberg's
statement was similar to expressions
made by him during the original in
veStigation in 1925.
He said he had compared the print
found on the weapon with the finger
prints of Scrivener, as well as the palm
prints, and that they failed TO match.
Sandberg was not called as wit
ness before the coroner's inquest, short
ly after the mysterious death of the de-
tective sergeant three years ago. To-
day was the first time he had been
examined by any inquisitorial body as
to his belief in the matter.
