KtMPTON SAYS LAND
IS WORTH $4,000
Wants At Least 5000 Per
Acre For His Wayne
County Farm.

Witnesses for the defense were
again called today in the case of the
state versus the estate of John and
Clara Kempton against which condem-
nation proceedings were instituted by
the trustees of the Eastern Indiana
Hospital for Insane, TO testify as to
the value of the land.
Kempton was placed on the stand
to testify as to the value of his own
land this morning. The owner believes
the ground is worth approximately
100000 or 5000 per acre. Kempton
bought the land fourteen years ago
at whic htime he paid $4,000 for it.
Corn and grain raised on the land last
year were exhibited to the jury to
show what quality of crops were be-
ing raised on the land. The witnesses
who testified yesterday stated the land
was fixed at $17O per acre by apprais-
ers appointed by the court last year.

Mrs. Jones produced statistics to

tNdllOnal NEWS <ASSotIdIIOHJ
CHICAGO, March 19.-Three per-
sons, woman and two of her children
were killed and two others were prob
ably fatally burned in fire which de-
stroyed a 2-story frame flat building
at 1853 Wentworth avenue, today.
The dead:
Mrs. Mary Pussela 80.
Maggie Pussela, 3.
Jane Pussela, 4.
The injured:
Frank Pusella, SO.
Joseph Casedore, 80.
The fire broke out shortly after l
o'clock Frank Pussela, father of the
children, was aroused by the smoke.
He made a desperate effort to reach
the room where his wife and children
were asleep. His way was blocked by
a wall of flames and smoke. Again he
tried to enter the place, but was driy-
en- back. Then he staggered to a win
dow, opened it and tumbled out. A
meat market occupied the first floor OF
the building Pussela in falling caught
on a meat hook in a rack in the street
and hung suspended until the police re-
moved him.
Casedore evidently tried to reach
the room where Mrs. Pussela slept. He
was found at the head of the stairway
unconscious He was terribly burned
part Of his flesh being charred before
the firemen could drag him to the
street.
The woman and children were burn
ed to death in their beds. Their bodies
were found in the ruins of the build
ing after the fire had burned itself out
They were so blackened and burned
as to be almost unacceptable.
The fire is believed by the police tc
have been the result of a blackhand
bomb exploded in the rear of the store
on the first floor
A policeman who was in the neigh
borhood said he heard an explosion
shortly before the fire broke out.
Four persons sleeping on the first
floor escaped.
