Nine Die In New York Tenement Fire
ROY NY UPI Nine children aged two to eighteen were killed in an early morning fire that swept a three story wood and brick structure overlooking the Hudson River. Police and Mayor Larry M said eight of the dead were the Sousie family children with Judy Stone a granddaughter. The parents and six other children were treated and released. A 17 year old son who raised the alarm was reported in very critical condition. Fire officials said flames reached 25 to 30 feet from the top of the building in a tenement and warehouse section. The blaze was blamed on a faulty space heater on the second floor and the father attempted to reach the upper floors.
