BLAST
KILLS 8, HURTS L;
BOMB PLOT FEARED

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Nov. 13.
Nothing but a high explosive could
have caused the blowing up Of the
receiving room annex of the local
postoffioe yesterday, federal officers
investigating the blast declared TO-
day. The blast which killed three
men, dangerously injured fourth
and Sent a score of others to hos
pitfalls for treatment, not only
wrecked the annex, but rocked the
downtown district and shattered
windows in buildings some distance
away.
Although city officials and some
postal authorities had insisted that
the explosion was caused when gas
which had accumulated beneath the
floor of the loading deck suddenly
became ignited, the federal investi-
cation is said TO have proved con-
clusiVely that only a high explosive
could have produced the wreckage
by which the loading room was re.
duced.

brought to three with the death this
morning Of Dale NeWhouse, a truck
driver, delivering mail at the time.
The other victims were Ernest Roth
and Herman Petersen, both postal
employees.
The theory that the blast was
caused by the premature explosion
of a bomb sent through the mails
was advanced by postal authorities,
police and firemen, who worked all
night by aid of sarchlights, securing
the wreckage for clues. No frag-
ment of a bomb or other explosive
was found, however.
Lorraine Warrington, who was in
an automobile across the road from
the postoffice, escaped with minor
bruises, but a dog in his automobile
was killed.
The three men who were killed, and
Newhouse were on the loading plat
form at the time of the explosion.
Newhouse was leaving the postofilce
after purchasing stamps.
