ly good. On the west side, where the
explosion occurred, fire soon added to
its terrors, aId the rescue parties
were unable to make any progress.

miles as though by an earthquake
Fire followed the explosion.
The first rescue squad found the
connection between the fans and the

ting off the supply Of air to those who
survived
Soon the work of carrying out the
survivors began. Many of them were
unconscious. Some had their clothing

COULDN'T GET FAIR TRIAL.

Judge Carter Orders Case of N1pper
johnson Removed to Franklin
County-Thought There Was a
Frame Up in Favor of Guards.
When the case against J. M. Nip
per and Jib Johnson, convict guards,
charged with whipping prisoners,
was called by Solicitor Norris in
Wake court Monday afternoon,
Judge Carter told the bar that he
did not have the heart to try the
case for the reason that justice could
not be secured in Wake County;
that he was willing to relieve the
Solicitor the embarrassment of MAX
mig such an affidavit and would make
it himself. The jury that acquitted
r. E. Howell made grave error,
the verdict of not guilty being
travesty on justice, said Judge Car
ter. The judge stated that he I'M
derstood that the county commits
sioners had engaged counsel to aid
in the defense of Nipper and John
son. The poor white man and the
negro were always convicted but
those with money and influence free.
The county attorney denied that
the commissioners had employed
counsel but Judge Carter said the
case should be tried in Franklin
County.
