Ropes made of sheets and other
bed covers hung down the sides
of the building. These fragile life
lines to safety were buffeted by
the winds and streams of water.
I crossed to the hotel entrance,
barely reaching the doorway when
a woman's body hurtled through
the marquee and landed in the
street at my feet. One body could
be seen draped grotesquely over
the ledge of a balcony which the

a woman back over the ledge of
a ninth floor window and start

Between floors she lost her foot

building and her body started
swaying and slowly turning in the
light of flames lapping at her

ATLANTA. Dec. 7.—(PP)—A pre-dawn fire, starting
mysteriously in the upper floors Of the downtown Winecoff
hotel today'swept the 15-story structure killing at least 114
persons.=
There were indications the toll among the 285 guests
in the 194-room hotel located on Atlanta’s famed Peachtree
street would run higher. Many leaped to their deaths from
the flaming structure. Others were burned fatally or sul-
focated. .
The fire was probably the worst hotel disaster in the nations
history. A check of hospitals showed at least 100 persons injured.
Most of the guests were trapped above the third floor where the
fire was believed to have started about 4:15 a. m. The brick and con-
crete building was constructed in 1913. It had no outside fire escapes.
It was classed as fire resistant.
The flames were brought under control at 6 a. m not in
Bodies were found on every floor above the third. Those not in
the direct path of the flames suffocated in their rooms. ..
There was no estimate of monetary loss to the building which was

nounced that an investigation to
determine the cause of the fire,
the most costly in lives in the city’s
history, would begin immediately.
W. H Rogers, a fireman, told of
finding 16 bodies on one upper
floor The rooms in which they
were found were undamaged by
the flames, and all apparently had
died of suffocation. In one room
were the bodies of five young
girls. in another a woman and
three children.
Emergency mortuaries were set
up in various parts of the city,
and a count of the dead was dif-
ficult.
With the flames under control,
firemen kept up a steady proces-
sion bringing the dead and injured
from the building Bodies from the
upper floors were removed via a
bridge which was built across an
alleyway to an adjoining building.
The Red Cross set up a special
disaster staff headquarters for
identification of the dead, but an
official said obtaining names would
be difficult because most of the
bodies were in night elothea and
many were burned or mutilated
beyond recognition.
