ville he found one side of the resi- (Continued from page 9) sttweture was blown out, and walls crumbled down in flames, trapping the occupants. Picture the setiing of the trag- edy. The, house, two stories of solid brick anda shingle: and brick attic stood twenty-tive feet back from the voudway, It . was, a nine-reomed structyre, exclusive. of the basement, which was subdivided into three rooms, with a common hallway. To- ward the front of the house, in the sotond story, the nursemaid, Lylli Eletikko, was dressing the baby, Jean. Near the top of the stairs, on the 'gecond story, were playing Ad- rienne-and 'Jack. On the stairs was liitle Joan. In.a back. sunparlor of the second floor Victer, clad in py- Jamas, lay in bed, slightly ill. In the kitchen the cook, Esther Kallib, was washing windows. And 'in the soutlicast room of the basement Mr. and Mr. House were rinsing cur- stains "through gasoline in an elec- tri¢ washer. : The gasoline fumes spread||f through: the basement, and, in some [|p farhion noi yet surely determined, igiited.. There. came one terrific explosion that blew out the whole front of the residence. Flames leaped up, and walls cracked and crumb- led down, 'Maid Blown Through Wall The force of the concuss! knocked the baby from the ip arms, and blew the maid out of the front of the; house. She struck a tree and hurtled to the lawn. The baby dropped to her death in the fiery ruins. The body was found five and a half houfs later. 'The cook was blown through a kitchen window. Victor, half- stunned, crawled from the shattered sunroom into a sloping roof off the garage and dropped to safety. For a moment part of the second floor and stairway held. There Adrienne and Jack and Joan hud- dled screaming, Then Jack and Jo- an fell in the wreckage. Adrienne jumped from the stairway. Neigh-| js hors rushed in and carried them to IE y safety. The main floor, in flames, |'S fell about the father and mother in the basement. Dazed, and with their clothes blazing, they struggled through the wreckage and were pulled out to the street. ! A laundryman who had heen de-|| livering near by grabbed up young || Jack, who was suffering from | | NINE NE burns, placed him in Mr. House's car, standing on the street, and || rushed him off to the Wellesley Hos || pital. | i Parents Die in Hospital The parents, with their clothes |, partially burned away, suffering] terrible agony, hysterical, sought to : stay at the ruins and gather their children about them. Finally they were taken to the homes of neigh- bors near by. First aid was admin- istered and then they were taken to the General Hospital. There Mrs. House died at 4.55 a.m. Sunday and her husband passed away at 8.25 a.m, Adrienne and Joan were taken to » residence nearby and given first ald treatment. They were put to bed at 6.30, and were able'to be up and about in the morning, Victor was taken to another neighbor's, and stayed there over- night, In the morning he still suf- fered, chiefly from shock. The two servants, after receiving first aid, were taken to the Gener- al Hospital. Reporis late last night stated that their condition is im- proving and not critical. Flames Spread to Other Residences When "the flames leaped high with the explosion, they spread to the two houses "flanking the scene of the tragedy. One side of the house to the west, an unoccupied dwelling was partially destroyed. Window sashes and burned away.
