few minute after the fire wa.s dis

(ire believed by officers In rluii'Ke
to have csrnped from cuHtody.
The fire wan discovered by pris

Kdward Tillotnon of Toli-do. ae

midnight. Shortly afterward, O'lmy

from the south end of the bill Id ink'
where the commissary wum located.
He opened the commissary floor
nnd found the room filled with
Binoke. A moment later there was
IL burst of flames.
O'Uay and Tillolson cried "Fire!"
and the alarm was taken up "d
echoed through the dormitory
where tho 275 prisoners lay sleep
Ins. Terrible Confusion.
The confusion that followed was
terrible, prisoners said. The great
room with Its double tlrr of stH
bunks was In semi-darkness. Awak
ened by the cries, the bewildered
prisoners ran about hopelessly.
NtrutrKliuK fulihiy with each other
between the rows of bunks, siek
Iiik to reach doors and windows
that were burred.
At this Juncture, William O'Mul
ley, .it prisoner from Cleveland, be
gan his efforts to save the other
men that made him probably the
hero of the uceiislnu. O'Malley and
Tony VarJlio, also of Cleveland, arc
employed In the bakery at I he
north end of (lie building. When
they heard the alarm they rushed
to the huge bolted door that sepa
rated kitchen, bakery and dining
room from the dormitory and at
tempted to open it. With the aid
pf Mx White, negro, on the dormi
tory side of the structure, they suc
ceeded In breaking down the door
opening an nihtir avenue of escape.
O'Malley estimated that K0 pris
oners made their way to safety
through that route.
Later, O'Malley and White ran
around to n side window of the
dormitory where prisoners si ill
were vainly struggling to escape
and, lining pkves of pipe as sledges,
attempted to break open the win
dow, but were unable to do so.
Shortly after the fire was dis
covered, Captain 11. II. Howell,
commanding the guard at the brick
plant, was awakened by the shouts.
He came out immediately, ami or
dered the guards to open all doors.
There were five exits from the
dormitory.
The prisoners who had escaped
from the flume-swept dormitory
were huddled In the office and in
the garage, t'h enter Welch of

a forgery charge, assumed charge
of the sil nation until prison of

It wan said that three or four
were so severely burned they pruh

(irucsonie Task.
With the coming of daylight res
rue workers found a gruesome task
facing them.
The dormitory, a temporary
ntructure, consisted of a corru
gated Iron covering on a wooden
frame, erected on a brick fotinda
' tlon six to ten feet high with a
wooden floor.
Wooden frame ami sheet iron
covering had fallen Into the shal
low basement made by the fmn
dutlon, and with them had fallen
the prisoners' beds.

foundation wall looked down Into

It wai considered likely t hat
'many of the prisoner reported

bodies lie In the ashes of the flimsy
dormitory building.

Keeps Prowlers Away
An experienced police officer said recently: "Night prowlers
naturally avoid lighted houses. A light in the hall or on the
porch indicates occupants may 'jc up and around. A
lighted home is safer than a dark one."'
A ligh( on your porch is a welcome to friends and a warning
to prowlers. It is protection through the long watches of
the night, while you sleep. And the cost is negligible.
