troyed At Morgenton, N. C.
Morganton, N. C., April 3.—Three
patients lost their lives and one other
was probably fatally injured in a
Are which early today partially des
troyed Broad Oaks Saqltorium, en
tailing a property loss estimated at
$25,900.
The dead are John P. Green,' Char
lotte, N. C., contractor, who died
early tonight; Mrs. Isabella Hereford
of Union, W. Va., who was found
after the fire, smothered to death in
her bed; and Mrs. Julia Hamilton of
Jacksonville, Flh., whose room- was
cut off by the flames, rendering res
cue impossible and whose charred
bones were found following the fire.
Mrs. Cornelia Gaines, a patient
Georgia, was terribly burned.
It was said tonight at Grace hospi
tal, where sh% was Jbaken, that no
hope is entertained for her rescue.
The fire had made considerable
headway when discovered by the
night watchman, Durant Williams,
ftnd spread so rapidly in the frame
structure that only by heroic efforts
on the part of doctors, nurses and
attendants, assisted by the Morgan
ton fire company, a volunteer organi
zation, that most of the 42 patients
were rescued and escaped injury.
A group of firemen wih a truck
from Hickory, 21 miles away, came
to the assistance of the Morganton
firemen and rendered aid in stopping
the spread of the fire.
Many patients were brought down
ladders by the firemen from second
story windows, after the heavy grat
ing had been cut with axes. The
main building was not burned but
only the north and east wings. The
rescued patients were removed to
the state hospital nearby.
. The body of Mrs. Hereford was
sent late today in Union, W. Va.,
and that of Mrs. Hamilton will
sent to Columbus, Miss., in accoi
ance with instructions received from
her son-in-law, Mr. Franz in Jack
.sonville, Fla.
Physicians connected with the san
itorium tonight stated that Mr.
Green’s death was due to the fact
that he returned repeatedly into the
burning building after having been
rescued and brought to safety at
least three times before he finally
was found helpless in a corridor.
