KILLS INVENTOR
''Safe' Explosive Causes Death
of Roberto ImperiaIi.
He Had Cooked and Pounded
1t without Accident.

New York. Aug. 30.-News reached
this city today of the death in Italy Of
Roberto Imperiali, inventor of an ex-
plosive called Imperialite. He was
blown to pieces while experimenting at
his factory near Brescia.
ImperiaH visited the United States
only four months ago to demonstrate
his new explosive, which he hoped
would be adopted by the government.
The tests, it was said, at the time.
were entirely successful.
One of the chief advantages claimed
fer the invention was that, while IL was
vastly more destructive than any ex-
plosive in general use, it might be
handled and shifted about without
danger. Imperiali hammered the ex-
plosive with sledge hammer and
cooked it in a chaf1ng dish. Then he
showed that it could be manufactured
more cheaply than dynamite To DEM
onstrate its power, he set off a cart
ridge in the open on rock, which was
reduced to dust

HER WOUND FATAL
Woman Who Might Have Ex-

ParamOur Held in Connection
With Double Murder.

San Francisco, Aug. 30-Virginia
Rodriguez, the young woman who was
shot and fatally wounded at midnight
last night at the same time that Ed
ward P. Finn, saiL to be a brother of
Thomas Finn, state senator and for
mer sheriff. met his death by a revol-
yer bullet. died early today, three
hours after the shooting. Robert N
Harrison. with whom the woman lived
as his wife and who was in the apart
ment at the time of the shooting, is
held by the police in connection with
the tragedy. The woman was formerly
Fian'S sweetheart
The supposed suicide of Edward Finn
said to be a brother of State Senator
Thomas Finn. and the fatal shoot
ing of Virginia Rodriguez, in her apart
ment here late last night, disclosed a
mystery today centering around Robert
n. Harrison, the woman's paramour,
who is held by the police.
She Called to Harrison.
Harrison was detained after he had
told varying stories regarding the cir
cumstances of the shooting. According
to his stories to the police, Harrison
was in the bath room of the apartment
which he and the Rodriguez woman
occupied as Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison
when Finn arrived, he believed, to Sc
cure some pictures for which he had
telephoned a week before. He said he
knew nothing! of Finn's presence until
he heard three shots, ran from the
room, and found the two bodies on the
kitchen floor.
G. H. Durrell, manager of the apart
ment house, where the shooting oc-
CURED, said he escorted Finn to the
door of the apartment for which he
had asked, and that the woman OPEN
ed the door, turned to some one in
side, and announced Finn's arrival.
Durrell said ne thought he heard a
but could not be certain. Tho
police are trying to define the identity
Of this other man.
A bundle of photog1, phs for which
Harrison said Finn had telephoned, lay
1n the table in the living room of the
apartment. Evidently they had been
produced at Finn's request, and the
police have raised a question how
could have occurred be-
ween Finn and the woman during the
5 minute interval between the for
ner's arrival and the shooting without
having been heard by Harrison, who |
vas separated from them only by a thin
pine door.
