paid-up $5,000 life insurance
policy during opening cere

Hutchinson was playing bas
ketball when he noticed
flames shooting from the roof
of the home of John Every
McCoy, half a block away.

house to find that a man had
already tried to enter, but
had been turned back by the
intense heat.
Undaunted and uncon

way, moved a dresser, and
finally reached the uncon

had to drag him out by the
hand," said Joe. "The roof
and walls were burning." A
few days later, John McCoy
died.
