Young Chernoff, who is of high school age, was making a visit to some boy friends who live on the third floor at 75 East Main street, and as he passed the doors on the second floor, he noticed an odor of |gas. He hesitated a moment and a door, and then ran hastily to the third floor and asked that the po- lice be called. Sergeant Edward M.

He was conscious and able to talk but couid not tell what had happened. When young Chernoff, who was first to enter the apartment, opened the door a terrific blast of gas struck him, and he held his breath while he dashed to a window and opened it. He then opened all windows in the dining room, and la- ter in the bedroom. Dorman was on his bed, his face pale and eyes and mouth twitching. Chernoff saw that two gas jets were lighted on the four-burner gas range, and on one was a kettle of e ———————— — ] water and on the other was a pot in which tea was evidently to be made. A third burner was turned on but not lighted and the police believe that Mr. Dorman turned three burners on, lighted two and forgot to light the third, and was barely able to stagger to his bed be- fore being overcome, Dr. Walter J. Blogoslawski was called and he ordered Mr. Dorman removed to the New Britain General hospital, where his condition was much improved several hours latery HAS FIRST SCRIMMAGE West Point, N.
