NEGRO MAN
BURNED TO DEATH
Bob Martin Trapped In
Burning House On Green
Street Last Night

Bob Martin, aged Wilmington
Negro, was burned to death last
night when the house in which he
vas living at 706 Green street
ught lire and was partially de-
rroyed before the city firemen
could extinguish the flames.
Martins body, badly burned,
was found just inside the front
door of the frame house. The door
was locked and had to be broken
down by firemen in order to gain
entrance to fight the blaze. The
Negro had evidently made an at
tempt to escape through the door
but was overcome by the fire be-
fore he could get it unlocked.
1t was thought for a time that
two Negro girls, reported to have
been boarding at the house, were
trapped and had succumbed to the
flames. But firemen and police
could find no trace of the two.
The cause of the fire was unde
termined last night, firemen point
ing out that the entire structure
was aflame when they arrived al
the spot.
Coroner Gordon Doran said that
he did not plan to hold an inquest
into Martins death unless some
evidence was found that the aged
man had died from some other
cause than an accident.
