First I removed the wooden scantlings which blocked the skylights. Then T found &he lights tied with wire imside and broke two panes of glass to get at the wires to untle them. I finally the wires off and opened the lights.” WITNESS BECOMES CONFUSED. Jones was asked why he went to the | had been told that the north wall had cracked in the fire and went to see if it were true. He declared he had loosened the skylights because he feared they might fall through and injure some- body on the stage. “Why did you take three ironworkers with you to inspect a brick wall?” asked Attorney Fulkerson of the Fire Department. Jones was confused, but finally an- swered that the men went with him through curiosity. Numerous witnesses who were in ad- joining buildings overlooking the the- ater testified that the skylights were net cpen during the fire. Coroner Traeger said to-night that he was almost ready for the inquest, which will commence Thursday morn- ing. “I wish it understood,” he said, “that but simply an in- fire, as far as we can. The Coroner's for the fire upon anybody. nor will it recommend the punishment of anybody. It will simply report on the facts as it shall have been able to gather them .and the rest of the work will be left if it be found that there is anything for him to do.” According to the managers of the local theaters the closing of the play- houses in this city has disarranged the theatrical business of the entire coun- try. Companies that have been booked for this city for the next forinight are | suspended or are being sent to other cities, thus forcing other com- panies to chahge their routes. WILL AFFECT INSURANCE. Life insurance comnanies oblect to| the statement of the Coroner that no verdict will be rendered after the in- quest, claiming that large sums of| money in insurance on lives of those who perished in the theater fire depend | for their payment upon the verdict of the Coromer's jury and atrorneys for the relatives of those who died declare that a verdict shouid be given in each particular case of death in order that collection of insurance may be pos- sible. Evidence showing grosser criminal negiect than anything previously de- veloped was given under oath to-day in the Fire Department investigation. Joseph Daugherty, who nad charge of the curtain, swore that two weeks ago, during a matinee performance. there was a fire on the stage and when he | attempied to lower the asbestos curtain that prevented its operation Wednesday, the fatal afternoon. The curtain manager declared that | he protested at that time, but that no attention was paid to his warning. In his opinion. if the curtain had been run down during the Wednesday mati- nee the lives of many, if not all, of the victims of the disaster might have been saved. It was only by the merest chance that a panic was averted as the result of the first fire. The skylight at that time, he said, was securely ! closed. MANY CHURCHES UNSAFE.
