FUSES NEAR THE DYNAMITE
ARRESTED SUBWAY WORkMEN SA1
THEY WERE KEPT IN THE
SHANTIES.

Andrew Murray the workman in the rapid
transit subway who arrested after the
dynamite explosion in Park-ave. and discharged
and who was rearrested on Thursday evening
was arraigned in the Centre-st. court yesterday
and was held by Magistrate Brann for examlna-
tion on Monday the charge of manslaughter
The amount of Murray's bail was fixed at
$4,000. and in default of bail Murray was sent
to the Tombs
The rearrest of Murray was on warrant
issued by the magistrate. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that Murray was one of the last work
men to leave the shanty in which the dynamite
was stored in front of the Murray Hill Hotel
before the explosion occurred on Monday. The
fact had been stated by Moses Epps, the colored
workman who had been in and out of the shanty
in the forenoon of Monday. Epps was to have
had examination before Magistrate Mayo in
the Yorkville court yesterday. but the examina-
ton postponed until next Friday at the re-
quest of Deputy Assistant District Attorney

When Murray arraigned before Magis-
trate Brann yesterday he appeared to be sur

don't see why I'm arrested" he said.
Don't you call causing the death of lot of
people anything?" asked Mr.. Brann.
Murray said nothing in reply. After he was
held for examination on the charge of man
slaughter he said: Il was employed to carry
dynamite to the workmen in the tunnel. 1 car
rted seventy or eighty sticks of dynamite into
the tunnel on Monday morning. They didn't
use twenty of the sticks, and 1 carried them
back 10 the powder house about noon. I went
across the street. and when l came back saw
that the powder house was on fire. | guessed
what would happen, and ran screaming like
mad. When the ground began to quake 1 fell
on my face"
Murray was asked If he thought fire would
cause dynamite to explode and he said he knew
there were some boxes of powder primers,
Illuminate OF mercury fuses next to the dyna-
mite. and that the fuses would burn readily. He
thought ii was the burning of the fuses that set
off the dynamite.
His admission that the fuses were kept in the
shanty with the dynamite was regarded as i'm
portant, because there is a strict rule against
keeping fuses and dynamite in the same places
along the line of the subway.
Workmen were busily engaged yesterday
the Murray Hill Hotel, the Grand Union and
other properties in the vicinity OF the explosion,
repairing the damage done. A number of win
dows on the north side Of the Murray Hill Hotel
were replaced, and the Grand Union was almost
entirely restored. The Murray Hill will not be
completely repaired, however for several days.
