“Taken from the Burned Colonial Bank Building's Ruin, Thought te Be the Only Victim of Last Night’s Fire. , Many Hairbreadth Escapes and Rescues of Terrified Tenants. The dead body of Rosle McKoon, the| | furee girl who perished In !ast night's Gre at Columbus avenue and Ninety- fourth street, was found among the de- Bris on the first floor of the buliding this morning. ‘The face was somewhat burned, but @therwise the bedy was not disfigured. Great crowds gathered around burned building this morning and ‘watched the firemen search the ruins| | for the bocy. Fire Chief Cooney directed the work of ‘the firemen, who were for the most part members of Truck 22. Owing to the total wreck of the building, and the crumbling |" and heated walls, the work of the fire met was very difficult. There seemed to be no point from which to make an epening.

A large hole was Giscovered in the hallway of the ground floor just inside the Ninety-fourth street entrance to the building, and this, it ‘s/ thought, was caused by a big explosion fm the cellar. e The girl Rosie was employed by Prof. A. J. W. Kern, whose apartments were on the top floor. She was twenty-two Years old, and had been in this coun- try only six months. Caesar Pinto, who lived on the fifth floor, was so badly burned that last night it was thought he would die. He Was removed to the house of a reiative Geventy-ffth street and Columbus ave- nue. Mr. Pinto was arrested last January, charged with forgery by Miss Evelyn itedeker, a dressmaker, of 146 West ‘Twenty-second street, who said that she bad loaned him $1,500 in seven years through “‘sisterly affection.” Pinto was put under bonds, but the ase has never come to trial. During the fire, a cat belonging to one of the tenants appeared upon the sill | of one of the windows. The cat looked about for a moment and then hung down from the aill by its claws. In another instant it let go and iropped to the strect. It fell on its Yeet, and giving a little shake of Its body and another look around, trotted away apparently unhurt. ‘The origin of the flames la yet to be ascertained.
