DOMESTIC TRAGEDY
A youth living at Bradford, Yorkshire, should have been wakened at 7 o’clock on a recent morning to go to the mill where he works. He slept on until 8, when he hurriedly dressed and went to see why he was not called. He found his parents’ room full of gas. He roused his mother with difficulty, but his father, Thomas Connor French, aged 43, a window cleaner, was dead. A daughter in an adjoining room was rescued and recovered quickly. Mr« French said that her husband must have got up in the night, lighted the gas while getting a drink of water, and probably did not turn the gas off properly.
