P. Ward, assistant manager of the hotel, admitted Saturday at the coroner’s inquest. ‘The inquest was held in the base ment of the county-city building to determine who is responsible for the fire which destroyed the hotel Wednesday and caused the death of | Miss Blanche Crowe, [@) | stenographer, hotel owners. “BREAK GLASS? PAINTED ON DOORS There were usually between 290 and 300 guests in the hotel, Ward said. In the eub-basement, where the fire is believed to have originat- ed, he said there was a laundry, paint-room and engineer’s tool room. The laundry was operated by steam generated by coal. In detail he described the lobby floor and the elevator shaft, which | is said to have formed a fiue for the flames, giving them access to | all the seven floors. In the interior |of the building, he said, was a light | court, extending down to the lobby roof. Surrounding this “run well™ were rooms occupied by guests. There were three fire escapes rec- ognized by the employes, he’ testi- fied. One of these, in the light ‘court, is said to have been impassa- | ble Wednesday because of the flames and smoke roaring up thru the the court and elevator shaft. The other two were approached by a door opening off the halls an each floor. On the door was painted the sign— “Fire Escape. Break Glass.” BUT DOORS WERE TILL BOLTED | “After breaking the glass in the | upper part of the door, did the per. |son have to crawl thru?” asked At- | tor: Carroll. “No,” replied Ward. “On the In- side of the door was a bolt. This | could be reached after the glass was jbroken, The door could be unbolted |and opened.” “Was this glass corrugated or re inforcea?” ‘It was ribbed glass.* “How thick?” “I can't say.” “After breaking the ribbed glass, unbolting the door and opening it, could one climb onto the fire | eecape?” | THEN HAD TO GO THRU BATH ROOM “No, ‘That door opened into a bathroom. At the other end of the bathroom was a window, By break- ing that window, a person could |reach the escape.” “Why did one have to break that window?” ‘It was locked to keep out burglars for the protection of guests.” ? t kind of glass was in the one pane of ribbed glass, unbol! a door, and lbreaking a ribbed glass window. one could get out onto the fire escape’ nt Chief Hale described the f Miss Crowe's body, badly and lying *face down on @ j out 15 feet inside the west |wall of the building.
