Boys Place Explosives.
Three boys between 10 and IL years
old rode on bicycles into Prospect street,
a short distance east of Sterling avenue,
where they alighted from their wheels
One of the boys was seen to place Some
thing on the tracks, and then the three
rode north on Sterling avenue. "A car
passed, but there was no explosion.
Shortly afterward the boys returned,
and again one of them placed something
on the track. When the next car passed,
there was loud report, No damage was
done by the explosion. The boys mount
ed their wheels and rode away before
any arrests could be made.
The Big Consolidated is experimenting
with device which, it Is hoped, will
minimize the danger from explosions
placed upon the track. Two moderately
stiff brushes are so fastened to the fender
that they sweep each rail. A dynamite
bomb placed upon the rail would it is
said, be swept aside. and nitroglycerin
or other liquid explosive would be dis
tributed so that the force Of the explosion
would be greatly reduced. The first ex-
pertinent was made Monday night, and
the inventor expressed entire satisfaction
with the result. 1t is expected that all
cars will be equipped with these brushes
within a few days.
The inquest into the death of Harry
Cornzweit. who was shot by Ralph p.
Hawley, a nOnuniOn conductor, has be-
gun. One of the witnesses was n
Iuckeman, who said
II met young Corrzweit as he was
watering his horse at a trough near the
corner. He was not paying any atten-
ton to the crowd OF the crew ON the car
and | am certain beyond doubt that he
neither threw stone nor yelled ut the
men,
Harry Bernstein was positive that
young Cornzweit did not throw stones OF |
yell at the cars. II. B. Joynt of 40 |
Perry street and Mrs. A. Beran of 346 |
Perry street said that they attempted to
prevent Hawley, the conductor, from
shooting. and say they told him Cornz-
welt did not throw stones or yell.
