ED EARLY YESTERDAY.

Huntington. Jan. 20.-Ye Yesterday
morning a gas explosion wrecked the
Warren grocery store, at Third and
Twentieth, entailing a very consid-
cradle loss on both stock and build
ing.
Beyond the fact that the explosion
was caused as the result OF an ac-
emulation Of natural gas. more
definite information as TO the imme-
diate cause viii not likely b. dis
covered
The force Of the explosion wreck
ed the entire interior Of the build
ing, tearing up the floor and scatter
ing the stock into fragments. The
windows were shattered into bits.
md the ruin could hardly have been
more complete Fortunately the
wrecked building did not take fire,
and thus the attendant ruin was
somewhat mitigated
Quite a quantity Of the stock has
been tax from the ruin In a state
.of good preservation. but by far the
larger portion has been rendered
worthless.

tleton's plea was masterful argu-

than that Thaw could not be- adj

gress and that he was acquitted by
a hostile jury.
Senator Noel, in response. said
that he did not think Judge Phlegar
should be allowed TO outline the
method of his defense. and stated
that in justice to everybody concern
ed he wished the matter investigat
ed to the very bottom.
1t was at this point that Bullitt,
counsel for the prosecution, first
took the floor. He stated that he
did not desire TO take any part in
the investigation until he had talked
with the witnesses. as the charges
he had heard talked of were merely
matters of hearsay He said openly
that he knew nothing of the bribery
charges, and that it was asking an
impossibility for the committee to
say that he should name and fix the
specific connection which Judge
Rhea had with several charges. This
committee ia quasi judicial body"
he said, and I think when the ques-
ton comes up it Will be time TO fix
limitations. This case will be large
ly matter of circumstantial evil
dence."
In response Irvine said, 1--WE issue
general denial that Judge Rhea
knew anything Of the several
charges"
The committee considered amon6
themselves for a few minutes I'm re-
gard to the question OF limiting the
evidence, and moment later ad-
