(A5 FUMES FATAL T0 MARTHA NAGEL Prominent Southington Woman Found Dead by Parents (Spectal to the Herald) Southington, Aug. 29.—Miss Mar- tha Nagle, age 28 years, daughter of |Mr. and Mrs. James Nagle of Wood- | ‘ruff street, was found dead in bed yesterday morning at 9:40 o'clock, death having been caused by illum- inating gas asphyxiation. The dis- covery was made by her father when he went to call her for church ser ices. Gas escaping from a fube which wes connected with a gas | heater in the room was the cause of the tragedy. The young woman generally at- tended the 10:30 o'clock mass at St. Thomas’ church. Her parents at- itended the 9 o'clock services yester- ‘day. morning and upon their return ithe father called to his daughter to arise. Receiving no response, he .went to the bedroom on the second 'floor. As he neared the closed door, he \detected the odor of gas and bu ing into the room, he found Martha \unconscious. He hurriedly sum- imoned Dr. William T. Nagle, her uncle, but after working on her for some time, the physician pronounced her dead. Dr. Nagle is medical ex- aminer for Southington. Miss Nagle every morning lit a gas Theater in her room. She used to complain of feeling cold. Yesterday ‘morning she evidently arose and lighted the apparatus and then re- iturned to her bed. The tube, at- tached to a jet on the wall, was badly worn and apparently fell off allowing the gas to escape freely and ‘permeate the room. ‘The door leading into the rest of ‘the house was closed as were the ‘windows, Her death has come as ‘the worst shocks suffered by the en- tire community in some time. Miss | Nagle was not only a very attractive young woman, but she was one of | the town’s most popular residents. ‘She had a charming disposition. She was employed by the Actna Life In- surance Co. of Hartford. Dr. Nagle rendered a verdict of accidental death caused by gas as- ‘phxiation. Besides her parents, Miss Nagle is | survived by a sister, Mrs. Frank Hurley and a brother, James Nagle, Jr. both of Southington. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Thoma Burial will be in St 'Thomas' cemete; EASTERN STAR The 46th annual outing of the Or- der of Eastern Star celebrating the 108th anniversary of the birth of Robert Morris will be held at Wil- cox’s Pler restaurant, West Haven, on Wednesday, August 31.

AT THE STRAND A new team of stars appeared on the horizon of the film firmament last evening when Lew Cody and Alleen Pringle opened a four day's engagement at the Strand theater in “Adam and Evil.” 1t is safe to pre- dict that there will be a succession of Cody-Pringle vehicles for these two favorites who scored an instan- tancous success in “Adam and Evil. Last night's presentation was a most elaborate one enhanced as it was by an augmented jazz orchestra, The Strand orchestra scored nicely with a rendition of the selection from “Rio Rita,” the sensational Zicgfeld hit. The vaudeville protion of the bill which begins today has as its head- liner, Harry Girard's famous en- semble including 14 golden voiced girls. This is one of the most pre- tentious and incidentally one of “N‘i most costly vaudeville turns that has even been brought to this city. Others cast on the program include | Winifred and Mills; Fred and Al | Jimmy Larrell and Co., and | n and Kent.

Five children out of six have been taken avay from the Romaine fam- | {ily, which now resides at 15 Star | street, through opcrations of the Connecticut Humane socicty. Because of charges brought by a | | woman connected with the probate | court in Waterbury and by repre- sentatives of the Connecticut Hu- mane socicty that living conditions at the Romaine home were not as {they should be, the juvenile court in Waterbury sent two of the older | irls to the Long Lane fa The Humane society followed the family's travels to New Britain and action before the court here result- |ed in three more children being |turned over to the state organiza- | tions. €ommittment was made by | Judge W.

MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1927. Judge Hungerford said he did not commit the children to the care of the state society for any specified length of time, neither were they committed permanently. “My im- pression is that the committment was only temporary, and I believe home conditions have become satis- factory since,” he added. He sci’ that he could see no ob- Jection at the present time to the return of the children to their par- ents, especially since Probation Of- ficer E. C. Connolly has stated that he was not consulted in the original action and that the local authoritie are capable of handling the situa: tion here. Several weeks ago an investigation was made of the Romaine family sit- uation by Miss Henriett Wood, case work supervisor for the Connecticut | Welfare bureau. At the time Miss Wood called at the Romaine house, County Commissioner Edwin R. Schultz also called. Both found the house in an immaculate condition, and both were shown trunks and closets full of clothing which the parents had provided for the chil dren before they were taken awa On a verbal report made by M Wood, the county commissioners, de. spite a change in conditions, have denied Mr. Connolly’s request that | the children be returned on proba- | tion. The parents had not been no- tified of this action, this morning. | This does not close the case. Friends of the Romaine family have determined that the alleged injustice shall be righted, and steps will be taken to ask the courts to have a re-hearing with a possibility of re- voking the committment.
