eight bottles of lemon extract in this

common bottled lemon extract. BY di-
luting this with pop he was able to make
an intoxicating drink. For three days he
was In state Of intoXiCat!on, and il
wound up in G"lirium while he was In

COURT HOUSE SHAKEN
Terrific Explosion in the Kings
County Building.
Reporter Lifted Of His Feet and
Quite Badly Hurt.
Was There a Plot on Foot to De.
stroy the Structure?

a terrific explosion startled every one
in the Kings County Courthouse,
Brooklyn. about noon to-day.
Court officials and lawyers ran from all
parts of the building to see what was up.
The walls shook and frightened several
women who screamed and rushed for the
stairway. Investigation showed a very
peculiar state of affairs.
Clifford A. Smith. newspaper re-
porter, was found standing near one of
the doors leading from the second floor
to the front balcony.
His face was covered with dust. his
eyes were bleeding and he was in great
pain.
Nothing about the building revealed
the cause OF the trouble. Smith was
too badly injured to talk.
He was removed quickly to the Eye
and Ear Hospital on Livingston street,
directly in the rear Of the Court House.
where he was attended by Dr. Blake.
The doctor took some pieces of thing
and dust from the injured mans eyes.
The, flesh surrounding the eyes was
badly burned,
AS soon as smith recovered sufficiently
to talk he said:
''l was about to go out on the bal
cony to see the direction taken by en-
gines on the way to a fire While
lighting cigar | noticed u square hole
in the door-sll.
IL aimed at the hole with the burning
match, ana the match entered it. II
had no sooner done SO than an explosion
followed.
81 was lifted bodily off my feet. The
blast came from the hole like that from
the mouth of a cannon.
II do not think that | caught the
whole force of the explosion. My eyes
seemed as II on fire and my face burned
terribly"
Smith was able to take car home.
The court officials are at a loss to de-
terniine the course of the explosion. The
fumes Of powder were very noticeable.
it Is thought by many that small boys
had poured powder into the hole; others
intimate that it was the work Of persons
who intended to blow up the Court
House.
An investigation will be made
