The Chester jury inquiring into the
causes OF the explosion that ended
100 lives at the plant Of the Eddystone
Ammunition Corporation, on April 10.
rendered verdict yesterday, saying
It was unable to fix the responsibility
for the explosion; that It attached no
importance to the steel taps found in
loaded shells and that there was no
evidence before the jury which point
ed definitely to any other cause that
might have been responsible for the
explosion.
The verdict was rendered after the
jury OF wealthy and influential Della.

hind locked doors three hours. The
verdict reads:
Burns and exhaustion caused by
an explosion, which occurred in
the building known as Old +, at

Eddystone, Delaware county, on
April 10. 1917, about 9.45 A. NJ,

evidence discloses that all possi-
BILE precautions were taken by
the ammunition company to
guard against accidents of any
character and that while upon at
least two occasions short taps
were found IN the loaded shells
prior to the insertion Of the pellet
pencil. yet there is no evidence
beforethe jury to lead us TO the
conclusion that this caused the
explosion, nor does any Of the
evidence submitted point def

This verdict was given despite the
fact that evidence had been submit

in shell cases, which must have been
placed in them in the Old F building;
that warning had been sent that the
plant would be blown up, and that
the life of at least one munition Of
fetal had been threatened.
Immediately after the verdict be-
came known, William !. Schaffer, gen.
eral counsel for the corporation. is
sued the following statement for the
company.
Personally am convinced from
my connection with the investiga-
ton OF this disaster, that II was
designed and not an accidental
explosion. The history of all ex-
piosiops in munitlon plants and
elsewhere, is that they have been
very difficult TO trace and the
perpetrators of them very diff
cult to detect. Time 10 work out
many clues is one of the essen
tials in such an investigation.
So far as my client, the Eddy
stone Ammunition Corporation
Is concerned, II will continue the
AANNoNAhoNAoh nhA AAHAA1 NfN%S
deavor that 1t can to locate the
cause of It, and the parties who
were responsible for It. II will
furnish any information which
comes to It's hands to the proper
authorities including Of course the
federal government.
One of the survivors the Jury cues
toned yesterday was Basil Greenke
the Russian inspector employed by
the corporation. Greenke was seri
ously burned and is still in the Ches'
ter Hospital. He told the jurymen
that he knew Frank Logeda, Frank
Wasskopf and Walter Derman, Rus
sian inspectors, whose names were
dragged into the testimony Thursday
He said that he also knew the rest
OF the Russian inspectors employed
I'm the plant and that most of them
we're decidedly pro German, ard had
anarchistic tendencies. He said thai
nearly all OF them had spoken in dis
paraglng terms OF the EddystOne cor
poration and in particular against the
manufacture OF war munitions.
Greenko was inspector in the No.
pellet room. He said he was sitting
at his table when he noticed fame:
coming from under the door. He said
the explosion came shortly afterwards
and that he fell under a table anC
covered his face with his hands, and
an instant later a wall fell upon him
He managed to crawl out into the
open. but not before he was badly
burned and Otherwise injured. In this
building he said possibly sixty girls
worked, the majority OF whom los
their lives because they didn't know
where the door was.
