Water did the bulk of the dam- age. It was the worst fire on Parliament Hill since 1916 when the old Parliament Building was destroyed except for the present library.

After 12 hours, Fire Chief Gray Burnett reported the end of what he called the most stubborn fire he has ever seen, one that got into the cone-shaped dome of the library 140 feet above the ground

Inquest Held in Glace Bay iieath

GLACE BAY. N. S.. Aug. 4 - (OP)-A coroner's Jury today said the July 30 death of Mrs. Olive Gregor, 46, was caused by extreme violence by "person of persons un- known."

ller husband Ralph. 50-year-old orchestra leader and raliroader. was charged with murder several hours after her scantily-clad, beat- en body was found in their bung- alow.

..Ssvcn witnesses testified at the inquest. presided over by Provin- cial Magistrate Verne Field.

A report written by pathologist Clifford Riley said death was caused by shock and hemorrhages, not the results of ”hard instru- ment" blows.

Miss Victoria Berger, a neighbor. said she heard Mrs. Gregor scream: "Stop it Ralph. You're choking me." This, she said. was followed by Gregor saying. "why did you do lt'.' Why did you do it?"

William Berger said he heard "loud talk" from the bungalow and through a window noticed Gregor on his knees "slapping with both hands at something."

Eddie Campbell, bus driver and roomcr with the Grcgors, said he had 3100 stolen from his room. This was believed to have caused an argument.

Man Who Asked To Be

W ' hT0day Cunningham rose politely and re- peated: "Guilty as charged, Your Lordship."

The prosecutor told the court he had informed Cunningham of the consequences of a plea of guilty and that there was only one sen- tence the trial judge could impose.

"I am fully aware of thm, Your Lordship," Cunningham said in a steady voice.

Since then. Cunningham has waited quietly for his appointment on the gallows.

Cunningham gave himself up to police nine days after 'rborsen's death.

At his trial, Dr. R. A. Campbell. psychiatrist at Oalualls Prison Farm here. said: "Cunninsban-i told me he had spent 21 years of his life in prisons across Canada. In last, he had been charged with a murder in Prince Georle. B. C,. but bad
