Coroner Doten Spent Yesterday
Afternoon in South Norwalk,
Hearing Employesoi the Ar-
tistic , Bronze Company, and
teeming of Conditions in
Lacquer Room‘ "
{.
Coroner Charles A. Dutch was in
this ‘city, yesterday afternoon, investi-
gating the circumstances surrounding
the death of Annie Smith. who died
as the result of burns sustained at
the Artistic Bronze Company.
. When he had all the facts that could
be obtained, Coroner Dolen remarked:
“It is the most peculiar case that ever
came to my attention." Superinten—
dent B. L. Wright was the principal
witness at the inquest and described
the situation as it happened on the day
the accident. occurred. The details
of the accident have already been pub.
lished ill Tile Sentinel. The first that
Mr. Wright knew of the accident was
when he heard screams and saw the
girl running toward him through the
factory. He then seized an overcoat
and smothered the flames.
The principal point of inquiry was
the conditions in the lacquerlng room
where Annie Smith was at work when
the accident happened and the origin
of the fire is just as much a. mystery
today as it was when it happened.
though the closest sort of an exam»
ination arid investigation has been
made since to ascertain the cause of
the fire.
The lacquer room is a portion of the
factory apart from the other building,
and “protected from it by a fireproof
brick W911 ,with' fireproof doors.
"The girl-was seated on a stool in
front of a. little itable arranged for
the purpose and in front of her was a
stone bowl of lacquer which is used
cold. There is no fire connected with
the application of the lacquer. The
brass pieces which are to be lacquered
are brought to her in large boxes and
they. am, , cold into the lacquer

into the lacquer pot. When a rod is

(men are hung truth” are placed in
the (ll'ylns~;:;¥00lll. another; fireproof
compartment about eight feet. from the
table at which the pieces are dipped.
This drying room is separated from
the work room by fireproof dors. and
in it' the pieces are left. until they are
thoroughly dry and hard. The teln-
peraturc in this drying roonl is some
times as high as 200 degrees, but there
is no fire in it, the heat. being obtain-
ed from a steam boiler below the
floor.
Mr. Wright stated that lacquer will
not ignite unless flame is directly ap-
plied lo it and that a burning match
it plunged into it, will be extinguished
If oner- blazing. however, lacquer burns
fiercely. , ‘ -
Mr. Wright was asked If he had any
theory to account for the fire. and he
said that he had not. He had had
manufacturers of lacquer come up
from New York city to lookgthe plans
over. and they were unableyto throw
any light on the case.
Mr. Wright stated that be had never
known of lacquer catching fire before.
He also stated that on the table where
one pot of lacquer was standing which
burned, there was another which had
not. caught fire even though it was
partially exposed.
Mr. Wright said that the manufac-
turers of tho lacquer had infonned him
that. there was nothing about it which
could cause spontaneous combustion.
They also stated that the pungent gas
which is caused from the drying lac.
quer ll-i not an inflammable gas as gen-
erally supposed.
Mr. Wright hold a conversation wiill
the girl prior to her death. in which
she stated that she did not know how
the fire started. The first she knew
;)I it was when her clothes were blaz-
nu.
Coroner Doten asked regarding
smoking, and was confined that no
smoking is allowed in the building.
A fresh out of lacquer had been pro
pared for her a few minutes beta
the accident happened and she h
dipped only a few pieces into it who
the fire- started.
That the fire could not have started
in the drying room is shown by the
fact that there was no trace of fire In
that. room.
Other employees were questioned.
but nothing could be found which
would throw the least light on how the
fire started.
