CHICAGO — A Seattle physician

Dr. Frederick Lemere sounded
his warning because of the unprec-

cause of talk of selling mepro-

a prescription, and because it

For the first hour Tuesday at
noon the question was: "Can they
stop it?" — the fire in the Rad-
ford Building at North 3d and Pine.
Then, for about four hours the
question was "Will the walls go?"
The answer to the first ques-
tion was obvious soon — at
least to the fire department official
wise to such things. They were
fighting hopeless odds The blaze
started to a basement that had no
sprinkler system. The building was
old and the flames raced up hollow
walls, under floors, above metal
ceilings, hiding themselves from
the probing streams of water
which poured to from every direc-
tion.
Denmark ordered rationing from
midnight Wednesday, on a basis
of about 11 gallons for every six
week period.

The husband of the victim testi-
fied that Martinaa was his brother-
in-law. He testified that prior to
the killing Martinez has loaned
Mrs. Luna $30 and that $20 of the
sum had been repaid.
Martinez, on the witness stand in
his own defense, claimed that he
shot Mrs. Luna when he feared his
own life was in danger. Telling the
jury of an intimate relationship
with her over a period of years, he
related that on the evening prior
to the killing, his life had been

way.
Fire officials believed they could
confine the blaze to the Radford
building, but the Altman stock was
endangered by smoke and water.
Altman was out of town. His
wife had to make the decision to
move. When she did, she got plenty
of volunteer help in moving. Will

across the street,, began lugging
goods outside. Herb Kendrick from

businessmen fell to the job.

Thom McAn shoe store, Neely-
Barnes, Fabric Mart and along the
street until a storage van could
be brought to collect them.
After the Altman building was
cleared and the cars, left parked
in the area by unsuspecting motor-
ists, had been moved out, there
was nothing left for the spectators
to do but watch the firemen dump

Standing watching in one group

Tippett and Gee are partners in

Gee was in Brady Tuesday. Tip-

He grabbed the tracings he was

Everything else to the office was
