Arson Squad to Probe Fire in School Last Year |
CHICAGO - Dec. 2, 1958 - Sgt. Drew Brown, who is in charge of Fire Attorney Downes arson squad, is expected to start questioning officials of Our Lady of the Angels school about a mysterious fire in the school a year ago. |
The story about last year's fire was told to Sgt. Brown by Theresa Gorski, 10, a fifth grade pupil who lives at 935 N. Avers av. |
She said in October, 1957, when she was in fourth grade, there was a mysterious fire on the first floor in the boys wash room on the north side of the school. |
An investigation by school officials at the time disclosed burned paper and matches in the boys' wash room. |
Sgt. Brown said the nuns are too distraught over the loss of life in yesterday's fire for questioning now in the earlier fire. |
