Mr: Gunning's daughter, Mrs. John J.

Summoning John O'Keefe, who lives across the street, she spread the alarm, and while entrance was made to the tenement, the police were asked by telephone to send the pulmotor. Mrs. Madigan and Mr. O’Keefe found the aged woman in the bathroom, unconscious, and her son in the same condition in bed, while an open jet on the gas stove gave mute evidence of how the accident happened. The meter showed that all the available gas had escaped and the air in every room in the house was heavy with the odor. Officers James McCabe and H. C. Lyon responded with the pulmotor and succeeded in reviving Mrs. Gunning. Meanwhile, Rev. Walter J.
