JURORS GROW INDIGNANT.
Deny Imputations Concerning Their
Verdict on the Explosion.


The theory that the destruction of
the De Force oil factory as well as the
De Force residence on Tuesday last
was due TO foul play was exploded yes
terday by the coroner's jury which re-
turned the following verdict:
we, the undersigned jurors. sworn
to inquire Of the death Of Morris w.
Moore. ]. C. Shaw and Christian Rentz.
DO find that they came to their death
on July 10. 1900. at the De Force oil
works in Clatsop county. Oregon. and
their death was caused by the explo-
tion in said oilworks. the cause OF said
explosion being unknown to us.

ALEX HOLMAN"
While the verdict states that the
cause OF the accident was unknown.
the jurors express the conviction. un-
officially. that no doubt rested in their
minds that the disaster was due to
an explosion Of the boiler.
Much indignation is expressed over
the imputation in an evening paper that
members OF the jury still harbored the
idea that the explosion was due TO
conspiracy by enemies OF Mr.. De Force.
Chairman Carruthers and Fred Wick
man, OF the coroner's jury called at the
Astorian Office last evening and stated
tnat they had seen nothing which
would support the theory OF foul play.
They declared that they expressed the
opinions OF every member of the jury
when they said that everything they
had seen and heard convinced them
that the boiler was defeative and that
1t was most improbable that the ac-
cident should be due to any other
cause.
Foreman Carruthers stated last night
that when the jurors visited the ruins
yesterday there was but three feet OF
water at the point where the boiler
was thought to have fallen. Nothing
could be seen Of the boiler, and the
conclusion was general that It had
been blown far out into the river.
Mr.. De Force also denies having any
suspicion of foul play, stating that the
thought never entered his mind.
The jury returned verdict that the
cause was unknown for the reason that
there was no means whereby theIcause
could be definitely determined.
The remains Of Engineer Maurice
Moore and Fireman J. c. Shaw were
Inferred at Clatsop cemetery yesterday. |
