TOUCHED DYNAMITE ON
LEGS WITH HIS CIGAR
Investig cation is Claimed to Show
That the Towns Chief Executive
Planned Own Horrible Destruction
After Having Taken Out Addition
al Life Insurance to Provide for
FamiIy--Was Much in Debt.
CBy Associar-u rress.1

ROANOKE. VA, Aug. 5.-A spe-
ciai tonight to the Roanoke Times,
from Ridgeway, Va, says;
Detective Joseph Funk, of the
Baldwin Detective Agency. of Roa-
roke, who has been investigating the
dynamite explosion which caused the
Death of Mayor A. II. Bousman, OF
Ridgeway, on the night of Sunday,
July "a, is satisfied that he has
solved the mystery. His inquiries
have convinced him that the case
was a peculiarly horrible one of self
destruction. He has so reported to
the town council of Ridgeway and the
report has been officially accepted
and is universally believed to be
correct, even by Bousman's friends.
Was Deeply in Debt.
Mr. Bosnian, it is said, was deeply
in debt and the belief now is that
the modification OF failure, financial
ruin and the dread of poverty for his
family. which he maintained always
comfortably and In good style, drove
him to take the desperate means that
he did to end his life.
\ He held an accident policy for
$4,000 and had recently taken out
two life policies, one for $1,000 and
another for $4,000 for which he gave
his note.
His Plan Solved.
A paper bag found wrapped about
come dynamite in bushes near the
mayors home the day following the
explosion. was identified as one he
bought at store the day of his
death.
He had recently experimental with
dynamite. Ii is believed he lay on
his lawn at night. touched the fuse
of a stick of dynamite with his light
ed cigar, balanced ii on his legs and
awaited results. There was no hole
in the ground under the tree and
il is claimed both legs could not
have been blown of az the same
point unless the dynamite had fallen
, directly across the limbs.

would appear from your denials that
a conspiracy had been entered into
grossly to misrepresent YOU How
do YOU account for that?'
That's beyond my power OF con

Business Deals With Gore.
You and Senator Gore had been
good friends. had you not?" asked
Chairman Burke.
Yes. ! had known him as friend
for about nine years and had business
dealings with him
Asked to explain some of his bust
ness dealings. Hamon said several
yesrs ago at Lawton. Okla. when the
government decided to sell. at public
auction. some lands belong to the In
dams. he. Senator Gore. and others,
entered into a combination not to bid
against each other so that the proper
~ might be obtained cheaper.
All Of them secured some of the
land. he said.
Chairman Burke-Don't YOU know
there is a federal statute against
combination to prevent competitive
bidding?
Hamon-I did not know OF that law
then, but | have since thought OF II.
1t was just a desire on the part OF
all of US TO get the land as cheaply
as possible 1t was understood among
us that we would not bid against each
other.
Wsvs Of the West.
Congressman Hiller-You knew
that the proceeds from the sale were
TO go to the Indians: do you think
that was honorable toward the In
dams?
HamoE-We did not look at 1t that
way. In fact we don't do things out
West just in the same way you DO IN
the East.
In some OF his business TRANSACTIONS
with Senator Gore, Hamon said money
loans were involved.
"Just before congress ADJOURNED
said Hamon, the senator came to me
and said that he had to pay so.ovo
which he said he owed TO Senator
owen. He said he had $1,000 or the
cash and wanted me to raise the otner
