HEROISM AT A FIRE.
TRIBUTE TO MR. MOORE JONES. LOST LIFE FOR OTHERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hamilton, April 5. It is now stated that the shoe found in the debris at the Hamilton hotel did not contain .a woman’s foot. Little doubt, however, is entertained that the maid, Nellie Wood, perished. At the inquest the body found was identified as that of Donald, known as Rory, O’Moore, by deceased’s brother-in-law.
The night porter said that when the alarm was given, he saw O’Moore, who had his trousers and boots on, pulling on his coast and vest. He did not see him again. The police stated that inquiries accounted for all the male persons in the hotel except O’Moore. The coroner said he was satisfied that the body was that of O’Moore. The inquest is proceeding. A gang of men are searching the ruins for traces of the’ missing woman.
At the inquest on Moore Jones a great tribute was paid to deceased’s gallantry. The coroner said that no doubt he lost- his life endeavoring to save others. The verdict was death from burns and shock.
