TENEMENT FIRE
Number of Persona Were Smothered
to Death With But Little
Warning.
OLD AND YOUNG VICTIMS
The Same Old Story-A Fire at Night
and No Adequate Means
of Escape.
NEw YORK, Oct. 30.-Seven people
were smothered to death in a tenement
house fire, at 210 West Thirty-Second
street, this morning. They were George
Friedman, 4 years old; Levi Friedman,
aged 3; Annie Appleblat, aged 22: Lena
Mitchell, aged 24; Mrs. Margaret Killian,
aged 70, Jacob Killian, her son, aged 40;
Geo. Levi, Mrs. William's grandson, 20;
Lena Fiedman, the mother of the dead
children, jumped from a third story
window. She was fatally injured. The
house is a five story brick tenement.
There were seven families in it and the
only means of escape was by a narrow
stairway. The fire was discovered at 3
o'clock by passers-by. There was not a
sign of life. Te enter the house meant
death. The only hope for those within
was arousing them by shooting. In a
few minutes there was not a window in
the front of the house that did not con
tain, the wild and frightened face of a
man, woman, or child, framed in smoke,
which poured forth in volume. By the
fire escapes, twenty inmates reached
the ground, descending in the midst of
flame and smoke. Before the ladder
truck arrived on the third story the fire
spread over the entire rear portion.
There lived Nathan Friedman, his wife
Lena, three young children and two
boarders, Annie Appleblat and Lena 1
Mitchell. Nathan Friedman was ar
roused by the smoke and noise. Clutch
ing the baby in his arms, he sprang to a
window, and descended by the fire
escape. Mrs. Friedman too had rushed
to a window, but not where the fire
escape was. She leaped from the win
dow and tell into the rear basement area.
The Friedman children and two board
ers slept in an inner apartment. The
fire had not reached them but smoke
tilled the room. George and Levi Fried
man and Lena Mitchell were still in bed
when found. The peaceful expression
of their faces showed that they had no
knowledge of death that came so sud
denly. Annie Appleblat was lying dead
on the floor. Evidently she had been
arroused and had stopped, donned her
clothing and died before she finished.
On the fourth floor Mrs. Killian and son
were found dead in bed. Her grandson
was dead on the floor, half way to the
rear window. The damage to the house
will not exceed $2,000.
uSCEzBm TO GET OUT.
Boss McKane and His Attorneys Hard at
Work.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 30 -Arguments
on the appeal of John Y. McKane, from
the sensational six years' imprisonment
for procuring the violation of the election
law, were heard by the court of appeals
today. One point upon which the appeal
is based is that the section under which
the indictment was found applies only to
election officers, and as McKane was not
in that category, it was not applicable in
hi case. It is also alleged that the
court erred in charging the jury in regard
to converestion between Mr. Gross and
MoKane over the telephone line. This
latter point will bring before the court
of appeals the question of how far in
evidence conversation over a wire by two
persons, to be identified only by their
voices, may be admitted.
