_Eviilence of Plant I ‘Night Watchman in i , Davis & Fraser Fire

‘lire following evidence of Ed- ward W. Hughes, night watchman at Davis and Fraser Co. plant at the time of the recent disastrous are, was given to the City Police in the course of an inquiry con- ducted into the matter:

"Age C) years; bachelor. Board and room at 33'! Kent Street. Employed at Davis s; Fraser plant for past 29 years; last three years as night watchman. Hours of duty. 0 p.m. to 7 a.m., seven days per week. Duties consisted of watchman of all plant, Made two hours; also operated the smoke house, curing meats throughout the night. Made my headquarters in main office on ground floor, fac- ing Grafton Street; electric light kept on throughout night. Vis- ited the packing room above of. flee frequently to remove cured

meats from smoke house and re-,

place with hams, bacon and butts etc., for smoking. The west end of this packing room on tire 2nd floor contained a large quantity of cured hams and bacon hanging from the rackB. and the smoke house wail was at the west end 0f ml! P0010. a metal door al- lowed access to the smoke house and hanging racks.

"I also attended the smoke house on the ground floor. The fuel used was maple wood in four or five ft. lengths., and a pile of this wood was kept in the smoke house on the floor witihin a few feet of the fire. I would visit the smoke house about every 30 minutes and feed it with B or 4 pieces of the maple wood. No sawdust was used. To best of my recollection, 4:30 AM. was the last time I attended this fire.

Appeared Normal

“Up to this time everything appeared to be normal. About 5.15 am. I went upstairs to pack- ing room on 2nd floor, opened the metal door of smoke house and removed some cured back bacon. placing lt_ in the usual way on the racks. At. this time I noticed more smoke than usual in the smoke house wihlch still con- tained about 100 large barns, eur- ing. I closed the metal door, and then went back to ground floor, outside to entrance to smoke house with intention of feeding the fire. On ‘opening the smoke

house door, smoke and fire belch- ed out. scorching my right hand; impossible to enter. Closed the door and rushed across the yard‘ towards boiler house to nottfy' night engineer IvanWatters; metI him coming from boiler roomfl tDid him I thought smoke 110mg was on fire.

I warned him not to open steel door of smoke house. Did not see him again after this. About 5.15 s.m., while removing bacon from smoke house, I noticed an odor of burnt meat. When not on rounds I stayed in main office. Night en. gineer and self were only p91. sons on premises after last of employees had left for night."

Forty Minutes‘ Delay

The fire alarm was phgngd to Police Station by Theodora Lav. ers, from his residence, about 3,10 A.M. (327 Grafton Street). This was at request of late Engineer Wattera.

The call was taken by Sergeant J. W. Higgins at 8.10 a.m., and the alarm was passed to m" Hail. and bell sounded.

As near as can be guessed. Hughes discovered the smoke house fire around 5.30 am, (He was, he claims, on the 2nd findi- about 5.15 a.m. removing the cur- ed bacon from the smoke house).

The alarm was received ,at Pol- ice Station. 6.10 a.m., or 4-0 min. utes after fire discovered.
