Kinston, N.C., Jan. 10 (AP)—Fanny Smith, young negro woman about 25 years old, was burned to death this morning in bed when a fire destroyed her home in Spruill’s Alley, near East Street, at 2 o’clock. It is thought that the woman was intoxicated when she arrived home, and retired, leaving the lamp burning, which exploded, causing the fire and her death.
