SIX ARE SERIOUSLY
INJURED IN BLAST
Two Stores, Theater and
Cafe in Detroit DESTROYED.
Three Men Are Held.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, January 18-Six persons
were injured seriously and a furniture
store, a motion picture theater, q
grocery and a restaurant were de-
stroyed by an explosion at Gratiot and
Harper avenues shortly before o'clock
this morning. The damage was
estimated at $15o,ooO. No one was

Police believed the blast was plan
ned as reprisal for the fatal shoot
ing of an Italian marcher in a Colum-
bus day parade here last October.
Two of the injured are under police
guard in a hospital for questioning
and a third man found hiding in the
vicinity is held for investigation.
Detectives investigating the blast said
it was caused by gasoline, two drums
of which were found in the alley behind
the furniture store.
The seriously injured are Jose Zan-
garo, SO, and Philip Cusmano. rs, held
as police prisoners in hospital; Mrs
Miller, 80: Harry Corden, SO, and Frank
Young, So. Zangaro and Cusmano
were found pinned under the wreckage
The third man held is Giralamo
Pacararo, 80, found hiding in the
vicinity.
Search is being made for John
Garrisi. as. proprietor of the furniture
store. Relatives said he left with his
family for Chicago yesterday after hav-
ing received several threatening letters.
Besides the buildings destroyed, sew
eral other places, including branch
bank. a bakery. a laundry and dry
goods store, we're damaged by the
explosion.
