Walls of Hartford Warehouse
Blown Down Upon Wood
en- Tenements
BUILDING MAY HAVE
BEEN DYNAMITED
But the Cause of the Explosion Not
Known Defnitely-People Buried
Under the Timbers and Masonry
Hunting for Bodies in the Ruins

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 3. - At
least seven persons are supposed to be
dead or dying as the result of an eX-
plosion in LoVeland s five-story brick
warehouse on North Front street early
this morning when the walls of the
building toppled on the roofs of two
adjoining wooden tenemcnt-h houses The
cause of the explosion has not vet been
learned, but there was fire imme-
diately after it that was soon extin-
guished
The two-story house occupied by
John Hughes was almost buried under
the brick and masonry. These persons
were known to have been in the house
at the time: John Hughes, G5, a stone
cutter; Margaret Hughes, 40. his sister;
another sister, Mrs. Lucy Dooty, and
her three children, two girls and boy.
Two persons are in the Hartford hos
pital and two others in St Francis
hospital, supposed to be fatally iniur-
ed. Their names have not yet been
learned. The roof of a house occupied
by a Syrian family was also broken in
and members of that family were res
cued with difficulty by fremen. Fire
men were digging in the ruins of the
Hughes house for bodies at an early
hour this morning.
One of Mrs. Dooty children died
while being taken to the hospital
There are five persons in hospitals, in
ending the dead child, and the firemen
said there were two bodies in the
ruins. One of these is believed to be

Henry Dooty, the husband of Mrs.
Dootv. Michael Greenberg, one of the
partners of the warehouse, declared
that the building was dynamited. He
refused to assign any motive or to ex-
press himself further.
While first reports said that there
had been an explosion, others living
nearby deny having heard any sounds
Of an explosion. At any rate there is a
considerable difference of opinion.
Firemen scout the idea that an explo-
sion occurred and incline to the belief
that faulty construction may have caus-
ed the warehouse to collapse. The
building, which was comparatively
new, was lightly constructed, it is de-
clared. The floors were heavily loaded
with rags. At 80 o o'clock this morn
ing the two bodies had not been re
moved from the ruins.

FINAL BRIEF FILED
IN HARRY THAW'S CASE
Claim That the Indictment Returned
Against Thaw in New York
Does Not Charge Crime.

CONCORD, y. H.. Nov. 3-The final
brief for Harry X. Thaw in the matter
of his requisition by New York was
filed today with Gov. Felker by
Thaw's attorneys. The brief covers
p printed pages and sets forth that
the indictment returned against Thaw
in New York does not charge crime,
because an insane man could not be
held guilty of conspiracy, while if
mentally responsible he had the right
to escape from Matteawan. The brief
further claims that the requisition was
not in accordance with the rules of
practice adopted by the governors of
different states; that the laws of New
York are being violated in obtaining an
indictment, that the requisition was
not in good faith. 1t also attacks the
conduct of William Travers Jerome
in obtaining the Indictment, and the
language which he used at the hearing
before Gov. Felker.

Motion Will Be Made to Quash In

NEWFANE. Nov


1t is expected that the trial of Lou
\. Foster of Halifax, charged with the
murder of his neighbor, Ossie Prouty,
will he started in county court tomor-
row morning. The state is today sum
moning 20 witnesses, and probably
more than that number will be used.
States Attorney Piper went to Halifax
this morning in connection with the
case. Attorney J. c. Jones of Rutland,
attorney for Foster IS brothers, it is
expected will assist Judge E. W. Glib
son and Judge ". R. Daley in Foster s
defense. Witnesses have been arriving
today. and the special jurymen sum-
moned Friday will begin to arrive this
afternoon.
There has been talk to the effect that
the attorneys for the respondent would
ask the court to quash the Indictment on
the ground that il might be construed
to be an Indictment for murder in the
first degree, whereas it is believed the
jury intended it TO cover murder in the
second degree. When asked in regard
to the matter today, Judge Gibson said
the course of the respondent 5 counsel
in that regard would depend on the
attitude taken by the court and the
prosecuting officers and If the court and
prosecution were agreed that it did not
cover murder in the first degree a mo-
1 tion to quash would not be made.

the debris and had suffered from cuts and
other injuries They are both thought
to be suffering from internal injuries and
