Smoke At 5 A.M.

Mrs. Carpenter had not noticed anything wrong the previous night and during the early hours of July 2. She lived in an adjoining apartment and, on that day, had been up at 5 A.M.

She did smell smoke, but she thought it was coming from an overheated water pump. She turned it off and went back to bed.

At least two other people, the Western Union boy who delivered the Telegram and another who had the newspapers, did not notice anything strange and indeed not any smoke despite the open window.
