Experts Discuss Action of Deadly Fumes – Water Gas, as Used in Washington, Heavily Charged
Twenty-four hours after death, the body of Cutts Bremerman, the eighteen months old boy of Clarence L. Bremerman, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning, was startlingly lifelike in appearance, said Dr. Larkin W. Glazebrook last night.
There was a tinge of color on the skin and the cheeks were a pretty pink. There is no turning of the skin blue or black, as in some cases of poisoning.
The child had the appearance of being asleep and in the full blush of health.
Dr. Glazebrook, Deputy Coroner, performed the autopsy yesterday on Mrs. Bremerman, one of the victims of the triple tragedy at 1309 1st Street. He said there were several interesting features from a post mortem standpoint.
In the past ten years he has been officially cognizant of about ten cases of carbon monoxide poisoning in the District of Columbia. He descried carbon monoxide as a colorless, tasteless and odorless gas.
It is produced, he explained, when carbon is burned with a deficient supply of air, especially charcoal and anthracite coal. It is the most dangerous of poisonous gases known.
Quick, Painless, Unexpected Death
In illuminating gas, to hide the carbon monoxide, several other gases produce a warning smell. But with subtlety carbon monoxide kills its victims without warning of any kind, painlessly and within a few minutes. Its formation is due to incomplete combustion without sufficient air. It cannot be produced where doors or window are open, allowing a circulation of air.
The bodies of Mrs. Bremerman and her mother-in-law also retain lifelike coloring. The internal organs maintain a bright scarlet color such as is found in healthy persons in life. The presence of carbon monoxide in the blood was well recognized, Dr. Glazebrook added, under the spectroscope.
In paraldehyde poisoning, the Deputy Coroner further explained, the effect upon the blood and its brilliant coloring is the same as in cases of carbon monoxide.
The funeral of the three members of Mr. Bremerman’s family will probably be held Monday afternoon with services in the chapel of Oak Hill Cemetery. Interment will be made there in three graves in a row.
The remains are at Wright’s Undertaking Establishment, 1337 10th Street, where Coroner Nevitt says he will probably swear in a coroner’s jury tomorrow morning should the investigation now in progress at the Department of Agriculture determine that such a step is necessary.
Dr. Lewis Wine Bremerman, a brother of Clarence L. Bremerman, the bereaved husband, son and father of the victims of the poisoning, is expected to teach this city today from Chicago. Dr. G.B. Heinekce of Takoma Park is a cousin of Mr. Bremerman and is attending him while he is almost prostrated.

Inspector Runyan had not read the explanation offered through The Star, last night by Dr. Haywood of the Bureau of Chemistry. In his talk with a Star reporter he gave the same explanation of the death of the Bremermans and the same description of carbon monoxide in almost the same words.
He explained that carbon monoxide is present in all gas used for illuminating and heating purposes. Water gas, the kind in use in Washington, he says, contains several times the quantity found in gas made from coal.
Danger in Gas Stoves
According to him the greatest danger from the poison comes from gas stoves. Flues and pipes carrying the gas becomes clogged and imperfect combustion results. Soot or grease will cause this. Unless the kitchen is ventilated wall, the results may be just as fatal as in the case of the Bremerman family.
