a farmer track star at Calvin Cool
idge High School, and to two mar
ried daughters living in Pennsyl-

bed, which apparently had been
ignited by a cigarette, or could have
resulted from sleeping pills. He said
a bottle of them were found near
the bed.

also suffered first, second and third
degree burns.
Called by Mrs. Adelaide Crockett
maid employed nearby. firemen
were forced to break into the locked
