sA STARTLING VERDICT.
coroner's Jury Declares Horror in
Zeigler Mine to Have
Been a Crime.

Ziegler ILL.,, April 6.-Unknown par
ties are declared to have caused the ex-
plosion in the Letter mine last Monday
BY which s43 miners lost their lives. This
is the verdict of the jury impaneled by
Coroner j. M. Adams of Franklin coun-
ty, after an investigation covering two
days. The bulk of the testimony tended
to show that the deaths were due to
afterdampgf following an explosion Of
blasting powder, which was set;off by
some miscreant whose identity it has
not yet been possible to trace, though It
is probable that he persisted with thesyic-
Tins Of his crime. There were AZ kegs
of powder and two boxes of miserite, a
low grade of dynamite. in the mine. The
mine is believed blythe jury to have been
practically free from gas and perfectly
safe for working purposes at the time
the double explosion sent the more than
two-score miners to their end.
