WHO WILL BE THE MAN
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO WHO
HAV SUCCEED JUSTICE
JACKSON.
IT WILL HARDLY BE CARLISLE.
The President in Case He Coes to the
Cabinet for an Appointee Will Prob
ably Select Secretary Siniih or Post
master General Wilson—Names of
Josiah Patterson, of Tennessee, Don.
M, Dickinson and Solicitor General
Holmes are Also Mentioned.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 9.—There is
much speculartion as to President Cleve
land’s choice for the United States Su
preme Court bench to succeed the late
Justice Jackson, but beyond the mention
of available news there is little of a deft
nite nature this early. It is the general
understanding that no appointment will
be made until after the meeting of Con
gress, as the place is one of too much
importance and dignity for a recess ap
pointee to go on the bench and take the
chances of subsequent rejection by the
Senate. There has been no case in the
recent history of the country where an
appointment has been made to the Su
preme bench during a Congressional re
cess.
It is suggested that the selection is
most likely to be made from the East,
and probably from New York, as Mr.
Cleveland made the last appointment—
that of Justice White—from the South,
after the Senate had rejected the names
-of Horoblower and Peckham, both of
New York.
When the serious illness of Justice
Jackson was first announced last spring,
gossip mentioned the name of Mr. Bia
sed, then in the Cabinet, as the probable
successor. The same suggestion is heard
at the present time.
It is usual when an important place is
to be filled, the name of Secretary Car
lisle is mentioned, but the general opin
ion is, that should Mr. Cleveland go to
his Cabinet for an appointee, he is more
likely to consider Mr. Wilson or Mr.
Smith.
The name of Representative Josiah
Patterson, of Tennessee, will probably
tie called to the attention of the Presi
dent, as he comes from the State of the
late Justice, and is known as a most
loyal friend of Mr. Cleveland. The
names of Don. M. Dickinson and Solid
ter General Holmes Conrad, are also
mentioned.
Kentucky Has a Candidate.
Cincinnati, Aug. 9.—A special from
Frankfort, Ky., says that Senator Lind
say will be pressed for the Supreme
bench to succeed Justice Jackson, and
that Secretary Carlisle will then be re
eleeted to the Senate. In this city there
is a movement for the appointment of
Attorney General Harmon to the Su
preme bench.
A Telegram From the President.
Buzzard's Bay, Mass., Aug. 9 -Presi
dent Cleveland this morning sent the
following telegram of condolence to Mrs.
Jackson, widow of the late Justice Jack
son:
“Buzzard's Bay, Mass., Aug. 9.
“To Mrs. Howell Jackson,Nash ville,Tenn.
“I deeply sympathize with you in your
bereavement while I mourn the death of
a devoted friend and the nation’s loss, a
bright judge, a useful citizen and an
honest man.
[“Signed] Grover Cleveland.”
The Funeral Monda> Morning.
Nashville, Tenn , Aug. 9 The hour
for the funeral of Justice Jackson has
been fixed at 10:30 o’clock Monday
morning. It was at first intended to
have the funeral Sunday, but a delay
was determined upon in order to give
Chief Justice Fuller and the other mem
bers of the Supreme Court time to reach
here.
The Nashville bar has appointed a
committee to draft resolutions in regard
to the death of Justice Jackson, to be
acted upon at an adjourned meeting to
morrow.
THEY W ANTED TO LYNCH HIM.
But Feared He Would Die Before He
Could Be Identified.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 9.—Last
Monday Frank Tilford, a merchant of
this city, while about to board a train at
Berryville, Clark county, Va., was as
saulted by a gang of negroes, who de
manded his watch. Having his hand
in his right-hand coat pocket and his re
volver in his hand, without more ado he
fired through the coat at his foremost
assailant The whole gang ran and one
fell. The train came along in a moment,
but the conductor could not stop to in
vestigate and brought Mr. Tilford on to
Washington, where he haa held himself
in readiness to answer for his action.
Mr. Tiltord has received word that the
fellow had been caught, and asking him
to come up and identify him. “He is
shot in the stomach,” said the message,
“and may die, but if you will come up
and identify him we think we can lynch
him befoie he dies ”
She Whipped Both the Editor*.
Savannah, Ga , Aug. 9.— Ethel Car
ter, an icronaut, making ascents here to
day, invaded the office of the Free Lance,
a weekly paper, armed with a cowhide
whip, and assaulted the proprietor, Wil
liam Orr, and hie assistant editor, John
Donelan. Miss Carter used the whip
with such force that she finally broke it.
The Free Lance charged that she failed
to make an advertised balloon ascension
because she was half intoxicated.
HUNTING FOR THE DEAD.
Work of Clearing Away Wreckage of
the Collapsed Building In Progress.
New York, Aug. 9.— The work of
clearing away the wreckage of the col
lapsed eight story building at West
Broadway and West Third street was
continued all of test night and to-day.
During the day, three bodies were re
covered. The work is slow, for every
pound of the great pile had to be turned
over.
Contractor Galligan said that it will be
several days before all the wreckage can
be turned over. That theiw are many
bodies beneath the ruins there is no
doubt. None of the men reported to
have been lost have reported themselves
alive, and it is believed that there are at
least ten bodies which will be discovered
before the ruins have been turned over
by the workmen. The revised list of the
dead and missing as tarnished by the
police is as follows:
Dead:—John Burke, plasterer, Brooklyn.
Claus Peterson, electrician, New York.
Charles Smith, electrician, New York.
Michael Savage, plasterer, Brooklyn.
Michael Flynn, laborer, New York.
Michael O'Hare, laborer, Brooklyn.
The missing:—Patrick Cashin, labover,
Brooklyn.
Patrick Conlin, plasterer, Brooklyn,
James Grosso, New York.
Edward Hanley, plasterer, Brooklyn.
John Murphy, laborer, Brooklyn.
Christopher O'Rourke, Brooklyn.
Augustus Phillips, New York.
George Smith, iron worker, New York.
William Hayes, Brooklyn.
Another Victim Discovered.
New York, Aug. 9.— The body of
Augustus Phillips, 48 years of age, a
driver, was recovered to-night from the
collapsed building on Broadway, swell
ing the list of known victims to seven.
Soon after 10 o’clock one of the work
men of the gang employed in removing
the wreckage, uncovered a bent knee.
The body Was held down by heavy iron
girders, and it was midnight before it
was removed from the ruins.
THREE KILLED, TWO INJURED.
Several Fatal Accidents on the Rwil in
the City of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 9.— Three
persons were killed and two seriously
i Djured on the rail in this city this morn
ing.
A wagon driven by Wm Hasson
was struck by a Pennsylvania locomotive
on the outskirts of the city at
a grade crossing. The vehicle
was smashed and Hasson was
instantly killed. Edward Miskell and
John Hasson, a younger brother of Wil
liam, who were also in the wagon, were
seriously injured.
About the same time in another sec
tion of the city, Martin Ervin, while
crossing the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
was struck by a locomotive and instantly
killed.
Willie H. Stanley, six years old, was
ground to pieces under the wheels of a
fast flying trolley car at 0 o’clock this

delphia.
MAY HAVE TO FIGHT J VP AN.
The l ulled State* May Find Herself
Engaged in an Eastern War.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—ln the
event of war between Russia and Japan,
the United States may find itself an un
willing party unless the J apanese retreat
from a position which they assumed to
wards the United States during the pro
gress of the last war with China.
It is not generally known that just be
fore the declaration of the armistice,
which preceded the signature of the
treaties of peace, an issue had grown
up between the United States and Japan
that threatens to lead to actual hostili
ties between the two countries and that
a hostile clash was perhaps only avoided
by the conclusion of the Chinese war.
This issue arose through assertion by
the Japanese authorities of the right of
search of American vessels. They insist
ed that they had the right to board an
American vessel, and, if they chose, to
take from her any Chinese or any
enemy they might find, even though
they were but passengers. Minister
Dun very promptly denied the exist
ence of any such right on the part
of a combatant and a hot cor
respondence ensued. Trie Japanese
insisted on their rights and even when
Mr. Dun reminded them that the United
States had gone to war with Great Brit
ain on just this issue and had fureed
the abandonment of any claim to such a
right, they refused to abate their pre
tensions one jot, though the minister
intimated that the first assertion of such
a right would be regarded by the United
States as an unfriendly act and, there
fore, likely to lead to war.
The matter progressed to that perilous
state that wheu Admiral Carpenter was
about to escort an American merchant
steamship out of a Japanese port to pre
vent her detention by the Japanese, the
latter, it is said, gave orders to tbe
shore batteries at the mouth of the
harbor to lire upon the American
vessels if they attempted to depart.
This fact came out after the conclu
sion of tbe armistice, which fortunately
occurred at just this point in the nego
tiations, thereby preventing an incident
that would certainly have led to war,
but tae significant point is, that since
that lime the Japanese have steadily
clung to rhe same contention, promising
serious trouble in tbe event of another
war in the east.
Torn Dixon’s Successor.
New York, Aug 9.— The Twenty third
Street Baptist Church decided to night
to call Rev. Sparks W. Milton, of the
Franklin Square Church of Baltimore,
to succeed the Rev. Thomas Dixon, who
resigned early in the year.
RALEIGH, N. C.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 10, 1895.
THE CRIME OF CHINA
WHY AMERICAN SHIPS HAVE
NOT BEEN SENT TO PRO
TECT MISSIONARIES.
STORY OF THE HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Mable Hartford, tke Only American
Survivor of the Massacre of the Mis
sionaries at Hwasang, Gives a Real-
Istio Description of the Horrible Af
fair--Thc American Government Un
justly Denounced tor Inactivity Ip not
Sending Them Protection.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—No offi
cial advices have reached the State De
partment concerning the reported de
struction of American mission property
at Inghok, China. It is believed at the
State Department that the place referred
to is identical with Suihing, where
trout les were reported two days ago,
and that this second dispatch really re
lates to the same incident.
Acting Secretary Adee has received a
telegram from Nashville, signed jointly
by the Southern Methodist and Presby
terian missionary society officials con
firming the report of the outrageous
character of the Ka-Cheng massacre and
urging the State Department to protect
the American missions in China. Mr.
Adee has responded by telegraph that
United States Minister Denby had
already taken the mast vigerons meas
ures to secure the safety of Americans,
and that renewed instructions to that
end had already been cabled to the
Minister.
A high official of the Navy to day
commenting on the criticisms that have
been made because American gunboats
have not done something to protect the
missionaries in China, said that the sit
uation is not understood by these
critics. The places where the
riots have occurred are many
hundred miles inland where it is im
possible for ships to go. He also
believed that it would be useless to at
tempt to send a force from the ships by
land, and drew as a comparison a sup
posed riot in Utah where British subjects
were killed, and said it would be as
reasonable to expect British warships to
reach Salt Lake or to send an armed
force from New York as to expect the
United States to reach the interior points
in China by gunboats or by a landing
force.
Consul General Jernigan’s Servian*.
Consul General Jernigan has taken a
great deal of interest in the recent trou
bles and has sent several dispatches to
the State Department giving information
and making suggestions for protection.
It is the impression arnoqg some offl
dials that the consuls, without being
fully aware of the situation, have asked
for troops from the warships where it
would be impracticable for the vessels to
go. The State Department has not called
upon the Navy for any ship or force
to land and proceed into the inte
rior. Minister Denby has authority
to call upon Admiral Carpenter for
United States forces and under his in
structions the Admiral is bound to furn
ish them. Both State and Navy De
partments believe that the United States
representatives on the ground clothed
with ample powers, are better able to act
for the best than these here In Washing
ton.
Acting Secretary McAdee said to day
that he eould give Admiral Carpenter no
instructions, especially as Minister Denby
had not asked that anything be done.
As to the suggestion that the Admiral
should send a force in boats, he
said that the Minister and Admiral
were better able to know whether
such a course was wise. It might
be a sacrifice of men to send them seve
ral hundred miles into the interior. The
British government had more cause for
making a demonstration than the United
States, and yet no English force had
been sent to the scene of the trouble.
Mr. McAdee said that an order from him
to Admiral Carpenter might wholly in
terfere with plans or orperations the
Commander had in view or under way.
The Pope Writes a Letter.
London, Aug. 9.—A despatch to the
Times from Berlin, says it is stated there
that the Pope has written to Emperor
William, requesting him to take the Cath
olic missions in China under his protec
tion.
Want An American Official.
Shanghai, Aug. 9.— The Americans
here have sent a cable dispatch to Presi
dent Cleveland, protesting against Uni
ted States Minister Denby’s action in
consenting that the British Consul
should represent America in the Sze
Chuen inquiry. They recommend a re
construction of tlie commission by send
ing an Amerie;. i official or adequate
rank and the exclusion of implicated
Chinese officials. They also recommend
that a Marine escort accompany the com
mission
Miss Hartford’s Story.
New York, Aug. 9.— The World
printed yesterday in a special cablegram
from Shanghai, China, an account of tbe
massacre of missionaries at Hwasang,
written by Miss Mabel O. Hartford, one
of the survivors of the massacre, and the
only American who witnessed it. Miss
Hartford’s statement is as follows :
“August 1, at 7:30 a. m., I heard
shouts. They were the yells of servants,
who rushed in, shouting for mo to get
up, for the Vegetarians were coming,
tearing down the houses on the hill be
longing to the English mission. 1 put on
my clothes and rushed to the door. I
was met by a man with a trident spear,
who yelled, ‘Here is a foreign woman.’
He pointed the spear at my che3t. 1
twisted it to one side and It just grazed
my ear and head.
“He threw me to the ground and beat
me with the wooden end of the spear.
A servant came and wrenched the spear
away, then told me to run. I jumped
down the embankment and ran along the
road. A servant came and pulled me
along until I got upon the side of the
hill. I then lay down there to got more
breath. After resting twioe, I reached
a secluded spot and lay there.
“All this time the yells went on and
two houses wore burning to the ground.
After a while the yells stopped. I sup
posed the Vegetarians *haa gone away.
A servant went see how matters were.
He returned in half an hour, telling me
to come home, that five ladies of the
English mission had been killed and
some had been wounded, but that my
house, a rented native boose, had not
been damaged at all.
“I went to find Mias Oodrington much
cut about the head and beaten all over;
Mildred Stewart, twelve years old, the
knee cut and bleeding very hard;
Herbert Stewart, six years old, cut on
the head and almost dead; Baby Stewart,
with one eye black and swollen. The
second Stewart girl, Kathleen, eleven
years old, with the second boy, Evan,
three years old, were beaten and pierced
with a spear, but not seriously injured.
The boy vomited all day, but we thought
' it was from fright.
“Mr. Phillips, of the English mission,
who lived in a native house some dis
tance away, escaped all injury, only ar
riving in time to see the bodies of the
dead and hear the Vegetarians say: ‘We
have killed all the foreigners.’ Mr.
Phillips went to the rnins and found
eight bodies, five not burned and three
burned so as not to be recognizable. Dr.
Gregory arrived at dark aaa dressed the
wounds of the patients. Coffins
were made and the bodies
were put in them. The bones
of the burned were put in boxes.
Another burned body was found, making
nine grown people massacred: R. J.
Stewart and bis wife, a nurse from Ire
land, called Lena; Nellie Saunders, Topsy
Saunders, ot Australia, who lived in the
upper house, called the Stewart House;
Hessie Newcomb, of Ireland; Elsie
Marshall and Lucy Stewart, of England,
and Annie Gordon, of Australia. The
first four were burned beyond recogni
tion. Topsy ran out of the house and
was killed outside. Hessie was thrown
down the embankment witti her head
nearly severed from her shoulders.
Hannah Gordon’s head also was nearly
cut off.
“The bodies were pnt in eofflns and
we left Hwasang for Snikow at four
o'clock Friday afternoon, Aaguat 2.”
Herbert died three hours later, just
below Oolong.
IIE MAY LIVE IN VIRGINIA.
Secretary Morton Contemplates Buy
ing a Farm in tbe ()I<l Dimlnion.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 9 —The
Post says: “It is among the probabilities
that Secretary Morton will buy a Vir
ginia farm. If he does, he will divide
tis future residence lie tween Nebraska
and the Old Diminion. On the
22d of August, Secretary Morton, by
the earnest invitation of the leading
men of Manassas, will deliver an ad
dress at the town of Manassas. Not only
will Secretary Morton make a speech on
that day, but incidentally, he will look
over a farm lying near by Manassas with
a view to its purchase. The farm holds
In the vicinity of 200 acres, and is fur
nished with house, barns, orchards,
lawns, fi Id and woodland.
It would and will make an admirable
country seat, and it is one of the strong
chaijiehes ot the future that Secretary
Morton will become its owner, and
whatever may happen politically, live a
part of the time at least neighbor to the
Capitol the balance of his days.
“Yes,” said Secretary Morton to the
Post reporter when approached on the
subject of his possible transplantation to
Virginia, “I’m going to look at a place
out toward Manassas. I shall speak
there on the 22d, and at tbe same time
go over the farm I have in my eye.”
ELECTRIC CARSCOLLIDE.
More Thau a Score of People Were
Injured, Nine of Them Seriously.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 9.—At four
o’clock this afternoon two heavily loaded
electric trains on the Broad Ripple Sub
urban street car lines collided at Illinois
and Twenty-sixth streets and twenty
persons were more or less injured. The

STRIKES A BIG FACTOR
TfIEIK AMICABLE SETTLEMENT
HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL
TO BUSINESS.
THE WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS.
Improved Conditions are Shown by the
Activity in Almost All Manufactur
ing Llnes—No Important Change in
Crop Prospects—Cotton Advanced an
Eighth In Price During the Week
While Corn Tended to Lower Prices—
The Centre of Activity is in the West.
New York, Aug. 9.— R. G. Dun &
00., in their Weekly Review will say:
' Business continues unusually active for
mid-summer and though there is pre
ceptible relaxation there is no sign of re
action. The one change of great import
ance which the past week has brought
is eminently helpful—the amicable settle
ment between coalminers and employers
in West Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
It is said that about 100,000 men will
have their wages increased after October
Ist, by the adjustment and while the en
largement of purchasing power is of con
sequence it seems even more important
that a chronic cause of controversy has
been removed by the new agreement as
to company stores.
There is no important change in crop
prospects, and at this time no news is
eminently good news.
Speculation has been more successful
in cotton than in any other product dur
ing the past week, and has lifted the
price an eighth. Wheat has declined a
fraction with very scanty transactions,
the extremely small western receipts in
fluencing the market for the present
more than the restricted exports.
Corn tends to lower prices with more
encouraging prospects, and the expecta
tion of a heavy corn crop affects prices
of provisions, as might be expected.
The industries continue to make pro
gress, and higher prices for iron and
steel products prove that the supply has
not yet out run the demand.
Soajo staple cotton goods have again
advanced in price, and the market is
unusually strong for the season.
Failures for the week were,*22s in the
United States against 264 last year, and
43 in Canada against 54 last year.
Bradstreet’s Review.
New York, Ang. 9.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say:
The featur&s of the business week are
continued with remarkable strength for
demand, increase in the production of,
and the advance in prices of steel and
iron. Striking as was the demand for
and advance in the price of wheat,
leather, cotton and other staples for a
month or two following March Ist.,
teat; no rebounds since the depression of
1894 has been stronger or more surpris
ing than that in iron and steel.
Os the same nature is the evidence of
improved business conditions shown by
the activity in almost all manufacturing
lines, more particularly, of course, those
in which iron and steel are employed.
The center of commercial activity at
the West follows a line drawn from Bt.
Louis through Chicago, St. Paul and
Minneapolis, with an improving demand
also shown along the Ohio River Valley.
Wholesalers at Chicago and St. Louis re
port the receipt of good orders for dress
goods, hats, caps, clothing and shoes, to
a large degi ee, the result of personal se
lection by interior merchants.
DEFENDER RUNS AGROUND.
Blit the Tide Did Not Leave Her High
Enough to Cause Any Straiu.
Newport, R. 1., Aug. 9.—The Defend
er went out for a spin this afternoon and
as she was returning to the harbor, ran
aground hard and fast, on the Spit,
which runs out from Goat Island. The
tide was on the ebb and after several
trials it became apparent that the sloop
could not be freed before high tide and
she lay in an easy position where she
struck bottom.
The tide was ebbing fast and when,
after futile attemps to free the sloop, it
became apparent that the crew must
wait for tbe next tide, they busied them
selves iu laying plans for floating their
boat. These were put into effect soon
after eight o’clock when the tide was well
on toward a flood.
The men were sent out on the boom to
try to “cant” the sloop off. The com
bined weight so far aft was what was
needed, and the plan worked excellently.
At 8:20 the Defender floated clear of the
Spit and at once proceeded up the har
bor to her anchorage. It is thought the
sloop is uninjured as she grounded easily
and the tide did not leave her high en
ough to cause any strain. Her bottom,
will however, be examined by a diver.
Balloting tor Railroad Commissioners.
Jackson, Miss., Aug. 9.—The Demo
cratic State Convention occupied the day
in balloting for Railroad Commissioners,
aud late to-nigh ist still in session,having
succeeded in nominating two of the three

Miners Strike in Alabama
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 9.—The 150
miners employed by the Stross Iron and
Steel Company, at Ruffuer have struck
for an increase of wages. This is the
third mine strike in this district this
week.
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
IIE SHOT HIS ACCUSER.
A Prominent Lawyer fLlutc* a Grave
Charge With Blood,
Jackson, Miss., Aug. o.— -A special to
the Associated Press from Brandon,
Miss , fifteen miles east of here, gives
the particulars of a sensational shooting
affray which took place there at 9
o’clock this morufng in which T. Dabney
Marshall, a prominent lawyer and mem
lier of the State Legislature from Vicks
burg, and two of his friends shot and
killed R. T. Dinkins, agent of the
Austin Road Machine Company.
While standing on the platform of the
depot, Dinkins was approached by Mar
shall and his two companions, H. Cole
man and O. P. Fox, of Vicksburg. Mar
shall walked up to Dinkins and said:
“This is Mr. Dinkins!” and placing a
pistol at Dinkins’ stomach, discharged
the weapon. Dinkins grabbed the
pistol just as it was fired and
possibly the first shot did not take
effect. As Dinkins backed away
from Marshall, there was a fusilade of
shots from Marshall’s companions and
Dinkins was left for dead. It is thought
Dinkins fired Marshall’s pistol at the
latter, as it was found in his hand when
dead. Marshall, Coleman, Fox and
Marshall’s partner, Mr. Vallens, met in
the waiting room of the depot as soon as
the bloody work had been completed
and announced they were ready to sur
render and sheriff Dobson was called
for.
The cause of the killing is the sensa
tional story told on Marshall by
Dinkins. Two weeks ago Dinkins
and Marshall occupied the same room
but different beds, at a hotel in
Raymond, and next morning Dinkins
told of what transpired during the
night, stating that Marshall was guilty of
a crime similar to the one for which Oscar
Wilde is now serving a term in the Eng
lish prison. When the story came to
the ears of Marshall ho denounced it as
a lie. Dinkins, however, maintained
that the story was true.
Marshall wa*» tbe Demooratic nominee
for senator for Warren and Hinds coun
ties. The killing is strongly oondemned
by tbe people.
THE TUTTLE MURDER TRIAL.
Evidence Yesterday Was Damaging to
the Cause of tbe Defendant.
Winston, N. 0., Aug. 9.—The trial of
Arthur Tuttle for the murder of Police
man Vickers, in Winston, last May,
opened here this morning. Policeman
Dean, Deputy Sheriff Frank Martin, Dr.
D. N. Dalton and Coroner Linville gave
damaging evidence against the prisoner
this afternoon.
District Attorney Glenn is one of three
lawyers representing the State and Con
gressman Settle is one of three employed
for the defense.
HOLMES’ HOUSE OF DEATH.
An Arrangement Discovered by Which
he Could Asphyxiate hi* Victims.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 9.—The pick of a
workman in the Holmes’ castle uncover
ed a strange construction last night
which carries more terrible suggestions
of the conspirator's work.
In the closet room on the second floor,
where Holmes used to sleep, there is a
gas pipe running over the floor. Where
the pieces meet the wall they turn down
into the floor, and beneath the boards is a
cut-off. The pipe runs directly to the
windowless room where it is believed
Mrs. Connor was murdered. The cut off
is believed to be one of Holmes’ intru
ments of death. Sitting in his room he
could turn on the current that would fill
the dark sleeping apartment with deadly
gas, asphyxiating the occupants.
The cut-off was a secret. It was
reached simply by lifting a board in the
closet.
