ONE FATALITY IN
 WEEKEND FIRES
Charles Wells Died of Ex= tensive Burns; Several
 Families Homeless

One man died and two families were driven from their homes in an outbreak of fires over the week end the like of which has not been seen in Waterbury for long time.
 Charles Wells, 69, 405 Baldwin street, died at St. Mary's hospital yesterday afternoon of extensive third degree burns suffered on a blazing couch in his basement room.
 Capt. Eugene A. Legge of the fire marshal's office said the fire was started by lighted cigaret dropped on the couch by Wells. Smoke spread through the building and drove MT. and Mrs. Joseph De- Lucca and their five children; and MT. and Mrs Anthony Grillo and their two children to the street, but the fire was confined to the couch and surrounding furniture The blaze was discovered by an un- identified milkman. Chief Thomas Cavanaugh and Deputy Chief Stephen Bloomfield led firemen.
 Five persons fled a fire at 142 Union street, late Saturday night which started, according to Capt. Legge when 11-year old Donald Earth overlooked the range oil burner. When the flames began to get out of control, Donald and his brothers. Edwin, 12 and John, 5, fled to the street and spread the alarm to occupants of the other apartment in the building.
 Mrs Catherine Logue, 73, who was sleeping on the first floor was led to safety, but firemen Dennis Shugrue and John Norton and Patrolman Carmen Albino had to lead Mrs. Margaret Richardson down ladder, as she was trapped by smoke on the second floor. Both women were taken to St. Marys hospital for treatment of hysteria, and later discharged.
 The blaze, although destroying all the furniture and belongings in the Earth apartment, was confined to the east side and the Richardson apartment suffered only slight dam age
 The interior and contents of the one and one half story wooden building was damaged as five per- sons fled a fire at 959 Pearl Lake road early yesterday morning.
 Capt. Legge said the fire started when Mrs. c. B. Johnson spilled oil from a container onto the range, and spread quickly when she threw water on the blaze.

ALBERT HARTLEY,
 BRISTOL, SUICIDE
Body Found With Two BuI-
 let Holes in Chest; h Leaves Wife, Son

1rigtol, Dec. 6.--Albert Hartley 32, of 27 Summer street. was pro- nounced suicide Sunday by Medical Examiner Arthur s. Bracket.
 pr. Bracket said that Hartleys body, found with two bullet holes in the chest, had probably lain in the woods in back of Birge's Pom for three days before it was discov- cred Saturday at p. m. by two boys hunting in the vicinity.
 Lieutenant John c. Mclaughlin said Sunday that Hartley disap- peared from his home several weeks ago Police said he had told his wife, Henrietta, on frequent occa- sionS that he intended to take his life. Mrs. Hartley told police that she attempted to locate her husband but was unsuccessful. After she was told the news of her husbands death, Lieutenant Mclaughlin re- ported that 1t was necessary to place her under a doctors care.
 The man who Hartley referred to in note found on his body as Big Henry" and who he said would soon make his son, Billy, forget him" was Identified by Lieutenant Mo Laughlin as Henry Gagnon, husband of the mother of the dead mans wife. MT. and Mrs. Gagnon of Sa- lem, N. H., came to Bristol Saturday to visit the Hartleys shortly before the body was discovered.
 Lieutenant Mclaughlin said that the note on Hartley's body was un- punctuated and this had led the police to believe that the word May" referred to child. However, Investigation Sunday showed that the Hartley's had only one child, William Carlton, age 8. he reported.
 Both Hartley and his wife were employed at New Departure but on different shifts.
 Hartley's body will be shipped to- day to Douglas Funeral Home in Methuen, Mass, Where the funeral will be held at a later date. Besides his wife and son MT. Hartley is sur vived by his mother, Mrs. Isabella Goodwin of Lawrence, Mass, two sisters, Beatrice Mullens. of Law renee, Mass, and Mrs. Alice Vale ske of Hartford.

SEEK WITNESS IN
 MICHAUD'S DEATH

There remained little doubt this morning that parts of a mans body found in a soaping vat at the Amer ican Brass Go. plant Wednesday night was actually that of Joseph Michaud, IA, 216 Merline Ave.
 A brother of the boy, John Michaud, on leave from the navy, identified two gold crowns found in the vat as belonging to the de- ceased. However Medical Examiner Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum con- tinued to hold up the funeral until the East Main St. dentist who did the work could be located. Only dental records would provide con- elusive prove of identity, Dr. Kirsch- baum said.
 Meanwhile, detectives under the direction of Acting Chief Inspector William F. Pollard continued an ex- haustive investigation to determine how Michaud met death. Police re- fused to speculate on the case until further evidence is uncovered.
