From the county grand jury, dis- trict attorney's office, sheriff's office and that of the county coroner, of- ficlals went forth, seeking the answer to the question of why 38 children, all of them mentally deficient, were housed in the ancient, three-story frame structure, long condemned as a fire trap. To the parents and relatives of the 21 children and the one matron whe died in the inferno, the investigation can hold little cheer, Today, the same as yesterday, they pressed into the morgue, turning back the white sheets which covered blackened bodies, seeking some clew of identification, Most of the bodies were burned so terribly that authorities have hu manely forbidden the grief-stricken familles to view them, When the flames swept thru the structure it was impossible to open but one door and a single window thru which the children that were rescued were elther thrown or leaped {to the ground, watch were stolen from T.
