 Rocks City

Stamford, April "A terrific ex- plosion shook the Springdale section today and scores of persons ex- hibited signs of extreme fright when three sheds used as workshops in the making of aerial fireworks bombs were shattered, In one of the sheds was Michael Luturra, who is 9 partner of Joseph Colandrelr, in the making of these bombs. Lutur- ra is in the hospital with burns all over his boy and his hair mostly singed off. He was in the shed in which bomb exploded and eveGy bit of clothing except a single shoe was blown off and he was hurled at least 40 feet. Portions of his clothing including remnants of an overcoat were found 50 yards away. Two adjoining sheds blew up after fire reached them. Two other sheds were unharmed.
 The bomb plant is in marsh some distance from houses. The vii brations of the explosion were felt throughout Springdale and women rushed from their homes and drop ped to their knees in prayer. In the Springdale school children rushed to the yard. Mir. Colandrelll was ap- preaching the sheds but was un- hurt. He said later he did not know what caused the explosion. He said no dynamite was used but the explosion might have been due to chemical action of powders trsed in charging the bombs.
 The material damage by the ex- plosion was not large. l. is uncer- tain whether Luturra will recover. He is married and has two children.

The truck is said 10 have been driven by Ruth Barnes. while Miss Hawley. Esther Lawton. Christina Young and Madeline Bow Ter made up the rest of the party. Shortly after they reached the bridge they. were seen by woman who stated that they were driving at an extremely fast clip.
 The bridge which spens the canal In so doing make curve 50 that 1t crosses the water at an angle. It is evident that the driver of the fatal truck was goin too fast to make the turn and the truck shot through the railing into the water. Mike Gresh, working near the bridge, heard the cries of the girls and came to their rescue. By the time he arrived, however, Miss Hawley had drowned, The other girls appear to have suf- fered no more ill effects than fright.
 Miss Hawley was sophomore in the local high school.

New London Patrol Boat Fired Upon Near Race Rock Light Early This Morning While Chasing Sus. pect.
Murder Ship Escapes Secret Service Men Take Up Hunt - Another Sailor Wounded in Fusi- Jade.

Nv London. April 2.--Karl Gus rafson, 33, chief boatswain's mate on the coat guard patrol boat CG-2S7, was shot and mortally wounded this morning at the wheel of the 75 foot CT as she started out in pursuit of q suspected rum runner, three miles south of Race Rock light.
 Henry M. Carlson, motor machin- ist's mate of Philadelphia, asleep in his bunk below decks, narrowly es- caped the same fate when another bullet tore through theside of the patrol boat and grazed his abdomen causing a deep flesh wound.
 Dies at Hospital
 The chase. which had only just begun. was abandoned when Gus tafson fell and the patrol boat made for the municipal wharf here where the victim was put ashore and rush. cd to the Lawrence and Memorial Associated hospital here where he died four hours later. Although fully conscious to the last Gustafson never knew the course of the fatal bullet.
 Coast guard authorities admit they have not a single clue as to what vessel may have fired the shots which peppered the port side of the vessel from stem to stern.
 Government Takes Action Coast guard headquarters at Washington was notified after the arrival of the patrol boat in port here and department of justice agents and secret service men are expected here to take up the inves- tigation. In the meantime Lieut.. Commander George E. Wilcox, com- mander ot the destroyer Downes temporarily in charge of the sec ton base here, during the absence of Commander W. H. Hunter who is in Washington, got beard of investi- gation under way.
 The CG.237. one of the most ac- tive of the local patrol division of E footers and commanded by Boat swain John M. Gray of New Bed ford sail last night for regular pa- trol duty. During the night she had been securing the waters in the Rase.
 Chase is Started
 Suddenly over the bow of the pa trol boat was sighted 6 shadow, some distance ahead. The form was evidently that of a vessel of come sort although 1t could not be defl- nitely identified. Immediately the patrol boat which had been lying idle with light out, started to give chase.
 Scarcely had the vessel got under way when a volley of shots came from the southward, and in rapid succession poured like rain onto the port side of the hull, Before any opportunity to retaliate was offered, Gustafson, who manned the wheel while Boatswain Gray stood beside him in the pilot house, fell.
 At about the sametime. Carlson, motor machinists' mate, who was or watch and sleeping in his bunk on the port side below came out Of his quarters displaying flesh wound in the abdomen.
 The 75 foot patrol boats carry ma chine guns. Several other patrol boats from the section base here other than the 237 were out on pa trol duty last night

SHEPHERDS PLEA
 IS TURNED DOWN Bail ReluSed--Arraisnment Is
 Scheduled for April 19 APPEAL WILL BE MADE
Defense to Take Bail Fight to State Supreme Court-Judge Rules Af- fidayits Are Question For Jury to Settle.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Presa
 Chicago, April 2. - William D. Shepherd, charged with murder, to- day a second time was denied free dom on bail by Chief Justice Hop- kins in the criminal court.
 The judge sM Shepherds formal arraignment for a week from today after defense attorneys had indicat- ed they proposed to appeal to the state supreme court In the question of bail.
 Judges Decision
 Judge Hopkins after considering the six affidavits filed yesterday by the defense, refused to reconsider his previous decision denying to bail.
 The question of Shepherds guilt or innocence of the charges in the indictment that he murdered Will liam N. McClintock. bis foster son. by typhoid inoculation, to gain his million dollar estate, was not up for decision, the judge said, and he would not be forced into any express sion of opinion as to such guilt or innocence. The afTidavits the court held, did not warrant reopening the bail question.
 The afiidavits purport in the main to attack the character and credibility of the state witnesses and that is a matter for jury" said Judge Hopkins, -..a e
 Sate's Attorney Grove asked that Shepherd be arralgned at once so that an early trial date could be set, but W. s. Stewart said he want ed time to decide whether to appeal to the supreme court on the bail question. The court then set the ar raignment for April g and said 1t could be continued if necessary in case an appeal was decided on,
 The defense affldavits principally attacked the character and testi- mony of c. c. Faiman, head of a school of sciences who was indicted with Shepherd. Faiman confessed that he had supplied Shepherd with typhoid cultures obtained from the city health department. and instruct ed Shepherd how to administer the germs. Faiman also testified that Shepherd had told him he had A million dollar deal" under way which Faiman said he believed re- ferred to the killing of young Me Clintock to get the estate, and that Shepherd had promised him s1o0,- 900.
 The defense produced affldavits from Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, health commissioner, and other health officials that typhoid cultures could not have been obtained in the manner described by Faiman. Other attacks were made on the states witnesses and charges were made that the testimony against Shepherd was framed in a blackmail scheme by which Faiman was induced by physical violence and threats Of punishment in connection with the death of a woman alleged to have died of an illegal operation, to make his charges.

 Contradicts Pistol Experts
 Harry A. Stevens of Hartford, of the Colt Patent Fire Arms Company was then called to the stand. He said that it was entirely possible for two guns to have the same mark on a bullet. Before asking him to make his statements, Judge Groehl did not attempt to qualify him as an expert.
 Stevens stated that il was his opin- ion that the marks on q bullet could be duplicated in another gun. AL corn asked him if he had examined the gun and bullets and he said he had not. Alcorn asked if 1t would make any difference in his opinion fl he would examine the gun. He said he thought not. He said he had voluntarily called Judge Groehl Slis morning and offered his services. Stevens is one of the superior officers at Colts of J. Henry Fitzgerald who testified as a pistol expert for the prosecution yesterday.

There are several possibilities which
come to mind when we consider the
best method to use in making every

whether the set itself is or is

desired is a method by means of which

without changing the position of the
receiver installation.
This is the case in the apartment

limited by the best position of the
