glass. At the time he was enroute to
National City Bank where he is en-
ployed. Just as the explosion occurred
he got close to the building he was
passing until the excitement had SUBJ
sided. He says he made an awful ef-
fort to 90 in and assist the injured
but was prevented by the big crowd
which gathered Immediately around
the scene. Three of the men employed
in the bank where he works were Kill
ed and twelve of the banks employees
were injured he says.
