Four-Year-Old Helen Popp. oi Boston

Little. Ones Became Cold and Mishap
Followed Attempt to Start Fire
_Helen Popp. a bright eyed. fiaxcn
haired, pretty little girl. was so fright-
fnlly, burned, this morning. that no
hope for her recovery is held out at
the Norwalk Hospital, whom she was
hurried in the arms of licr‘frautlc and
grief stricken mother, with the assist-
ance of the ambulance. ~ .
Everything possible has been done
for the child, but in (discs of such so-
verc burn as this. medical science us-
.nally finds itself powerless to sustain
life except for a brief time. The lit
tle body had been completely envelop-
ed in flames aiid practically all that
escaped the greedy. liseethlng tongues
of fire were the feet. The latter were
protected to a more or less extent by
the shoes.
This accident is a Benton street
tragedy, and is a sad one in more
ways than one. The father of the little
family. Daniel i’opp, is up iii Wethors-
field. at the state's prison. attempting
to learn a trade, in order tluit he may
bio citizen, so be told the court. The
‘mothcr is the sole support of the faili-
ily and it was while she was over to
East Norwaik working to gain this
livelihood, that her little daughter met
her cruel fate.
The Poppa hare two children. the
little girl and a llttlc boy, the. latter
hhrdly more tliaii'a year older than
the girl. The two children were alone
at their little home on the second floor
of 23 Benton street. Between 8 and 0
o'clock. from all the neighbors can
learn. it appears that the two children
attempted-I to “build I fire in the kitclr
on stove. Uhlldlike. they did not real-
ize the danger. In a. twinkling, [hf
. tectoitttle it“
en's, tires . birdie; title boy's mind
thing teritbie was happening, and he
had presence of mind to rush down
stairs shunting and crying with all of
the power of his youthful lungs. Mrs.
Frank Tantor. who lives down stairs,
went quickly to the aid of the burning
child, but even by that time, most all
of the clothing had been burned from
the smali'forni. The cry was also mk-
cn up about the vicinity and all of the
neighborhood was soon on hand to do
what it could. Messages were sent for
a physician and tho mother. Dr. A, N.
Clark was summoned and he did ev-
erything ixissible to ease the child's
sufferings, and previous to the arrival
of the physician Mrs. Tantor had
wrapped the child in a blanket. but as
the mamas one for the hospital. Dr.
Clark summoned the ambulance.
Both sides of the bodyare burned
and the face was black as coal.
The father. Daniel Popp, stabbed his
wife last November. while under the
influence of liquor and followed this
up by attempting suicide. The wom-
an's injury \vns slight, though she was
treated at the hospital for several
days. When the police found Popp.
he lay in it pool‘of blood. the result
but superficial.
Point was bound over to the Superior
jail.“ ,It was then that he. made the un-
usual request to be sent. to state's pris-
on, toglvc him an opportunity to lic-
