The commission promptly banned dancing and floor shows in all night spots until they could be re-inspected. At least one night club was closed completely.

3. Assistant District Attorney Frederick T. Doyle opened a separate inquiry into the fire, under the direction of the state's attorney general, and announced that all testimony would be private "in view of the fact that criminal prosecution may result." 4. Doyle accepted a letter from a prominent Bostonian, written in January, 1939, to a Cocoanut Grove employe, saying: "There are several things you ought to give particular attention to. Your exits are very bad.

You have a tinderbox construction. It should be in absolute conformity with the building rules." 5. A Boston fire department inquest heard for the first time a statement that a sailor had unscrewed an electric light bulb in the basement Melody lounge of the club, where the fire started, so that he could "mug his girl." 6. Stanley Tomaszewski, 16-year-old oar boy, who lighted a match to replace the bulb and thus started the conflagration, was held under custody in a Boston hotel, so that, Police Commissioner Joseph Timilty said, he could be "protected from having his story tampered with to save the civil rights of the dead people." 7. James Welansky, acting manager of the club and brother of one of the principal owners, told the fire department inquest that they had kept fireproofed things that needed such attention.

In response to a question from Fire Commissioner William A. Reilly, as to whether the decorations were fireproof, he 6aid "they generally fireproof these things," but added he was merely giving "supposition." The first witness before the inquest was Maurice Levy, of Boston. He had lost his wife in the fire. Unshaven and drawn, he testified that a man at the next table to his was "bothered" by a light in the ceiling and had unscrewed the bulb. Levy said the bar.

boy had lighted a match to replace it and this had ignited a paper palm tree. The flames leaped to the ceiling decorations, which he said "looked like gauze." So swiftly did the flames move, he said, that they were ten feet behind him when he and his wife raced for the stairs, but were "ten feet ahead of us" before they started to leave the basement. He testified the club was "packed" and in response to a question said it was "over-crowded." John J. Kearney, of Boston, executive secretary of the bartenders and waiters' union, nine of whose members were burned to death, told the fire inquest he believed that "the sailor who turned out the light can be equally responsible for the disaster as the busboy who put it back." "This is an Commissioner Reilly asked. "This is from information given nie by union members," Kearney replied.

Informed by Reilly that the investigation was limited to the testimony of those who had been present, Kearney said: "From my own experience in the Melody room, there is subdued light. Isn't it interesting to you that in this subdued room a sailor stood up and turned out the light so that he could mug with his girl?" Witness after witness described the horror that followed. Levy said a door to the street was on his right when he and his wife reached the top of the stairs, but that the panic-stricken crowd was surging to the left toward the ballroom. He saw a screaming woman with her hair burned off. His wife was pulled from his side.

The man behind him as he went out the door, ho said, was "all in flames and he did not get out." Welanski was questioned at length by Commissioner Reilly, and testified he had been pushed outside the building in a rush of people. "Would you say there was panic?" A "Yes, sir." "What did you do when you got outside?" A "I went yelling for the fire engine. When I got back I don't know how long it was because every minute was hours the glass windows on the Broadway side were broken, and I saw someone Impaled on the glass that was broken."
