JURY TO PROBE
MINE BOMB|NGS
Military Inquiry Is Seen
as Possibility in
Sullivan Area.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times Staff Writer

SULLIVAN, Ind, Oct. 11.-Upon
recommendation of Brigadier Gen
eral D. Wray Deprez, commanding
two companies of Indiana national
guardSmen maintaining martial law
in Sullivan county, the county
grand jury will be reconvened at
9 Thursday.
The jury, Prosecutor Rex Bridwell
said, will consider the bombing of
two miners homes in Sullivan and
the death of Frank Stalder, union
miner, who received fatal injuries
when run down near the Starburn
mine, where clashing of union pick
cts and nonunion workers caused
Governor Paul V. McNutt to de-
clare martial law Monday.
General De PREF would not state
whether failure Of the grand jury
to act in the bonlbings and death
would cause military inquiry, but
such a step is believed to be receiv-
ing serious consideration.
Two other outstanding develop
ments in the mine situation are:
Probable vote by all union men,
bers as to whether they will go on
strike as a protest against martial
law in Sullivan county, and the
possibility of trouble at the Somer-
vile mine in Gibson county.
The miners were warned by their
leaders yesterday and last night at
meetings in Linton and Clinton
that any strike will be illegal be-
cause in violation of a contract of
the union and mine owners.

Witnessed Helpless
BY JOE CROFT
CAS- Told to the United Press)

CHESTERTON, Ind, Oct. Ill
was dealing in a game of hearts
with some neighboring farmers
shortly before o'clock last night
when we heard an explosion.
We jumped up and ran to win
dow and saw big airplane coming
down. Flames appeared to be shoot
ing out from it. She's in trouble, .
one of the men said.
AS we watched the big ship head
ed straight toward the house. We
ran out on the porch and it seemed
for a minute that the plane might
strike the house. 1 believed it was
entirely out of control.
Suddenly it veered and struck
some small trees across the road in
frcnt of the house. Tops of the
trees were snapped off like twigS.
Then the nose turned down and
there was a terrific crash as it
struck the trunks of several larger
trees. We could feel the ground
shake.
We stood on the porch and stared
for an instant. too Mortified to
move Then the whole plane was
enveloped in flames in an instant.
We ran toward it but before we
could get there flames we're shoot
ing up more than 100 feet.
We stood there in the rain and
watched, helpless. There was moth
ing we could do. There was no
sign of life about the plane. I be-
lieve that every one in the ship was
killed in the crash.
Flames from the plane lit up the
place until you could see for several
hundred miles. Several neighbors,
attacted by the crash. got there
within Is or 20 minutes. The plane
continued to burn for more than
two hours.
When the rain finally put out the
last OF the flames, there was moth
ing but the charred wreckage and
twisted steel left. 1t was impossible
to tell how many bodies were in
the wreckage.

equal vehemence, denied all claims
