               WOMAN IS KILLED BY EXPLOSION OF GAS IN APARTMENT

A terrific explosion in a third floor apartment of the Leroy Apartments, Warren 
Crescent and Drummond Place, yesterday afternoon about 1:45 o'clock snuffed out 
the life of Miss Annie C. Enright, aged 32, occupant of the apartment, trapped 
other tenants of the building in their rooms behind warped doors and spread 
consternation throughout that usually quiet residential section.
Miss Enright was last seen alive by Mrs. Katherine Flanrey, who occupies 
Apartment 3 on the first floor of the building. Mrs. Flanrey said she was in 
Miss Enright's apartment about 12:30 and invited her to dinner. At 1:45, she 
said, she sent Miss Peed to Miss Enright's apartment to notify her that dinner 
was ready. At the moment Miss Peed pushed the button of the electric bell, the 
explosion occurred.
Police report in part stated "Miss Enright was killed or died from gas before an 
explosion of gas when Miss Peed rang bell causing spark that ignited gas in 
kitchen of her apartment" 
Miss Enright was employed as telephone operator at the Fairfax hotel and had 
been living in the Leroy Apartments for about two months. She has been occupying 
the apartment in which the explosion occurred for only about two weeks, however.
Miss Enright was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary Kelly Enright. She 
was a native and lifelong resident of Norfolk.
Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. A.W. Hershel, of Brooklyn and Mrs. J.W. Pacini, 
of Norfolk; and eight brothers, M.J. Enright, of Brooklyn; John, D.A., J.B., 
J.F., Ernest and Emmett Enright, of Norfolk and P.V. Enright, of Baltimore.
The body was removed to the funeral home of H.D. Oliver at 610-12 East Freemason 
Street, pending funeral arrangements.
