PROBING CAR EXPLOSION
Grand Jury Investigating Sanford Az
fair, but There is Little Pros
pect of an Indictment.

Terre Haute, Ind, March THE
grand jury is investigating the powder
car explosion at Sandford, but it is
doubtful in the minds of lawyers if an
Indictment can be returned against
the Big Four road on the charge of
criminal carelessness, notwithstand-
ing the evidence before Coroner Leav-
lit. Part of this testimony is of
reckless handling of powder since the
Sandford wreck, one instance at least
in which powder was spilled from kegs
by the ordinary jarring of the car
while in transit to Terre Haute. 1t
is also reported that the coroner learn
ed of the shipment of nitroglycerin on
a passenger train some time before
the wreck.
