Herbert Schofield, aged 30, of Kensington, met with a motor accident and was taken home by three men. As they approached his flat they were assailed by a strong smell. In a bedroom, they found Schofield’s sister unconscious in bed. His mother was found in the bathroom in a stupor. A plumber stated a thousand feet of gas had escaped in the room. A doctor stated that had the women stayed a minute longer, in tho room they would have been asphyxiated. Schofield's condition is critical.
