Rain Causes Wall
To Collapse and
Damage at BrOcktOn

Brockton, Mass, Oct. "a - up -
Heavy rain and not an earthquake
was found to have caused the col
lapse of a high cement wall with re-
sulting damage to a nearby bullo-
ing here tonight.
Earth tremors were at first blamed
for the collapse, as well as for
crack which opened up in the floor
of fire alarm station. Examination
of the wall. which was rs feet Ions,
35 feet high and three feet thick,
disclosed, however, that an all-day
rain had undermined it to such an
extent that the soft earth beneath
the foundations gave way.
The collapse of the wall was what
set up earth tremors felt three miles
away and the jar also was believed
to be responsible for the cracked
floor. Telephone operators reported
their building shook for nearly a
minute and many residents felt their
homes tremble.

ton furnished by the secret police

bigamy and with making false decla-

peeted the man already had a wife
living in Russia. At the request OF
Sergeant Manning of this city, the
Soviet authorities undertook an IN
vestigation. Eight months after the
complaint had been lodged here the
report from Russia was received.
The Russian police reported that
Andrews first wife, Matuska, still
was living with their two children
ir the village which was Andrews
former home, and that there had
been no divorce. The woman. 1t was
said. was maintaining the children
