Multifragment decays of central collisions in {sup 84}Kr+{sup 197}Au at {ital E}/{ital A}=70 MeV are studied. By utilizing a technique sensitive to the emission order of fragments, it is deduced that carbon fragments are emitted prior to beryllium fragments when these fragments have the same velocity. This observation is consistent with the cooling of a thermally decaying source. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
