London, Sept. 6. The staircase, which
was the only exit from the gallery in
the Exter theatre that was burned “with
such terrible loss of life last night, was
found to be packed with bodies. Scores
were found atthe head of the stairs
roasted to death, while those on the
stairs and jammed together at the foot
were suffocated. Thore was such a
frantic rosh made for this one means of

blocked, and no one was able to move

the staircase before them, crowded with
an immovable mass, and the raging
