H., Attended With Heavy Loss Of
Life - No Warning of Disaster.

Zeigler, H.. Jan 11.-Nineteen men
are known to have been killed in N
explosion in Joseph Letters coal mine
early Sunday morning. Several other
men who were in the mine at the time

The cause of the disaster is not
known. One theory is that 1t was the
ignition Of black damp which had es-
capped from the portions of the mino
which had been sealed because of Il fire
which had been blazing in the shaft
for several weeks. Mr.. Letter gives no
theory as to the direct cnuse.
The night shift had been in the
mine but few hours when the blast
occurred Twenty-six are known to
have gone into the shaft. OF this num-
Der two men have been taken out, SER
iously injured. and nineteen bodies
have been recovered
Despite the efforts to rescue the 9TH
er men not yet accounted for it Is not
known whether they are alive or dead.
The mine had been closed for sew
eral weeks on account of serious fire
in the working places until early in
this month, when Letter came down
from Chicago and took charge of the
work of extinguishing the flames.

letter said that he had committed the
murder OF Browning while under her
hypnotic influence, Mrs. Carmichael de-
clared that she knew nothing of hyp-
6notism, that her husband. so far as she
knew, was also ignorant of 1t, and that
nypnotism had never been discussed in
their home. Mrs. Carmichael, continu-
ing, said:
II would not think that Browning,
either, would have known anything Of

of Browning to my husband. My hus-
band never spoke of him to me. I never
said any more than how do you do to

that Carmichael told the story of the
killing in graphic manner. He

that when he entered the church.
Browning attacked him with two
knives. Carmichael added that he
then picked up hatchet, and pro-
ceeded to hack away until he thought
Browning was dead. The latter re-
turned to consciousness, however, so
Carmichael kept at him. He then took
one of the knives Browning had used
in his attack upon him, he said, and
proceeded to mutilate the body until
it had lost all resemblance to a hu-
man being, and then took the remains
out and buried them. After that, he
took the train for Chicago, where he
purchased new clothes, then went to
