By that time the smoke was pouring up stairs in volumea and rolling out' of the windows. Probably one hundred or more people were in the hotel. These left the building by the stair ways, by the" fire escapes and a few were brought down by firemen on the ladder of the ladder 'wagon. One fireman brought down a stout man, a woman and a child.

Cummings, state's attorney of Connecticut and vice chairman of the national demo cratio committee, advanced the theory that a second map, friend of both Ballou and Helen M. Angel, was pres ent in the Angel studio when Ballou sustained the injuries that caused his death. This man, according to Mr. Cum mings and Chief of Police Brennan, Is known to the police and can be placed under arrest at any time. He Is said to be a Stamford politician, a friend of Ballou, and friendly of late with Mrs. Angel. There is no evl dence as yet to warrant the police in connecting him officially with the ease. Aside from the theory based on facts which the authorities will not disclose there were four other devel opments which the police assert add strength to their case. 1 It was learned that Mrs Angel saw Ballou and another woman, mar ried and of excellent character, roar ing In a local restaurant on the even ing or the tragedy. 2 Ballou's gold spectacles spatter ed with blood and hair, were found hidden In a small box outside a bath room window where bloody clothes used to wipe up the floor and stained garments had been found the. pre vlous day. The glasses were not broken which the police claim dis credit the story of a fall. 3 Mr. Cummings discovered addl tional blood stains on the floor of the Angel apartment and at the top of the second flight of stairs. Mrs. Angel declares Ballou fell straight to the landing at the head of the first flight which falls to explain the pres ence of blood higher up. 4 Although Mrs. Angel collapsed three times during the coroner's bn qulry yesterday, she was apparently in excellent health and spirits today.
