Frenzied with grief the son rushed to the telephone to call the police and a uick response with the pulmotor was tod late, though Mrs. Shlenom was breathing slightly when found. It is thought that the age of each of the couple was about 60 years, Pulmotor Used A. telephone call was received at peolice headquarters about 7:45 o'clock this morning, and a request was made for the pulmbotor. Fire Chief Willlam J. Noble, Deputy Eugene Barnes and Policeman Michael Brophy answered the call in Chief Noble's car and ,when they arrived on the scene, they found the old man dead and his wife barely breathing. The pulmotor was applied to both of them, but it proved to be of no avail. The woman who lives on the other side of the house from that in which the tragedy occurred, told Chief Noble that she had been awakened at about 11 o'clock last evening by the smell of gas, and she had arisen to make an inspection of all the gas jets. She found them all shut off and paid no more attention to the matter.

They usually arose at 6 o'clock in the| morning. This morning, the old cotple did not follow their usual custom and David, thinking it strange went into the room to investigate. When he opened the door, he said, th efumes of the gas almost choked him. He rushed tojthe \\'h‘ul?ws and flung them open and saw his .’alhcr‘ and mother lying on the bed. Neither of them seemed to be breathing, so he huried out and telephoned for the puimotor.

David had worked and saved his money in order that his parents might be able to join him in this country, and his dream was to bave hte old couple with him in a home of their own in this city. He told of the happiness of his parents ever since their arrivaf, and of the plans they were making to buy a little farm in the near future where the little reunited family could live to- gether, but last night’s occurrence shattered his dream and turned his world of joy into one of grief.
