13 ARE KNOWN DEAD IN APARTMENT HOUSE FIRE
LYNN, Mass.. Jan. 20. —(UP)—At least 13 persons were killed early today and Fire Chief Joseph E. Scanlon estimated that eight to 10 more were missing in a fire that destroyed a five-story apartment building in the center of the Lynn business district. More than 25 were injured, most of them by leaping from windows into the street. One of the injured was Chief John Adams of the Marblehead fire department who fell from the roof to a fire escape several floors below and was carried to a hospital. Tha fire spread so rapidly that when firemen arrived they shouted to oocupants of the building’s 60 apartments 1o lock their doors and wait until they could be rescued through windows. Screaming and shouting, occupants lead r through the windows while flames puffed out around them. Firemen brought scores down ladders. William .1. Fuller, crippled by infantile paralysis, threw his crutches from a window to attract attention, but when firemen reached him, he insisted that they rescue his mother first. She having been rescued, he was taken down a ladder. Five of the dead were tentatively identified as Mary Dekter. Bessie Parks, Betty Bachs. Edward La Flar.nne and Elsie Thornhill.
