2 KILLED, 5 HURT
 IN DOUBLE BLAST
(Continued from Page D

Fire Chief Scott Morse theorized that spark from the light switch or a struck match ignited fumes from gasoline that apparently had leaked from one of two loaded tank trucks parked overnight in the garage.
 As walls of the building crumpled 8 second explosion completed the debacle. It was believed the second truck was fired by flames which followed the first blast.
 Had the explosions occurred 15 minutes later, a score or more might have been killed as 1900 shipworkers pass the rear of the garage enroute to work.
 Bremen battled in freeZin g weather for three hours before con- trolling the flames. Hose lines laid across railroad tracks and U. S. Route 1 delayed train and highway traff1c.
 Though at first it was feared other bodies might be in the ruins, authorities learned that Fuller ap- parently was alone in the garage.
 Battling gasoline flames with chemicals, firemen saved wooden dwellings on either side. Occupants escaped unassisted. Clapboards were blown from the buildings and every window was shattered.
 Nearly 300 police and constables were marshalled to guard stores, the post office and the Bath Trust com- pany, whose windows were broken
 The garage, built in 1929, was owned by Chester A. Plant. It hous- ed 8 garage, repair shop and storage room on the first floor, and a Chevrolet showroom and sales office on the second fcor.

kCCUSED WOMEN FACING CHARGE
Warrants Issued Alleged Manslaughter; Bonds of
 5000 Named in First

Two women charged with per- forming an illegal operation that caused the death of a young wife here a few days ago will be charged with manslaughter. One of the pair. Mary DeVito, alias Mary Clifford, 37, Of 236 Bank street, was arraigned on that count in city court this morn ing. At the request of Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers, who preferred the manslaughter charges, her case was continued till tomorrow under bonds of $3,o0O.
 The other woman, Mrs. Josephine Lippke, 45, of 27 High street, is ex- pected to surrender later today on 8 warrant charging her with man. slaughter. Prosecutor Meyers told the court he would ask for bonds of 5000 in her case.
 A finding issued yesterday by Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth held that the two women were re- sponsible for the death of Mrs. Frances Laffey, g, of Park Place. Mrs. Laffey died Feb. 24 at Water bury Hospital. Deputy Coroner Smyth said that death was caused by peritonitis which set in after an illegal operation was performed. He said in his finding that the opera ton was performed at 236 Bank street Feb. 12.
 Mrs. DeVito and Mrs. Lippke were arrested last week on coroner'S war rants by ctive-Lieutenants Will liam Pollard and William Foley. They were arrested while Mrs. Laf- fey lay critically ill at Waterbury Hospital. Both were later released on bond, but must post new bonds now that the manslaughter charge has been placed against them by the state.

his face was white where it pressed against the black wood.
 Awkward guards, unaccustomed to such punishment began fumbling with the straps at 11:04 a. m. Mil ler's knobby arms stretched out along the wooden cross pieces.
 The baggy knees of his blue denim jeans trembled against the sides of the post.
 Straps were clasped over his ban daged wrists, around his waist, his knees and over each ankle.
 For four minutes the only sound in the cold corridor was the faint pumping of clumsy guards knuckles against the wood. Then, with a final tug to test the straps, they stepped away.
 Miller drew long breath and leaned heavily against the post His back was glistening white spot in the gloomy shadows of the three-story corridor.
 There was another two minutes of silence before Deegan, a six foot two inch man weighing 235 pounds, arrived. He came from the warden $ office, wearing brown suit with his red and blue necktie carefully knot ted. He might have been going to a business conference except that he carried the cat O nine tails in his hand.
 He walked swiftly past the official witnesses and newspapermen-abo 60 in all-and stood beside the whip ping post.
 An aide pulled the whip out straight until the three foot wooden stock with it's nine, two-foot-long leather strands was pressed softly against Miller's back.
 Deegan swung. The heavy strands thudded so softly against the pris- oner's back that it seemed he hard ly had been touched. But when the leather fell away there was dark streak across Miller's back.
 Millers body did not move al- though the second blow left another as if the whip were smeared with dark paint.
 The bald, pleasant-looking sher- if swung with the regularity of a pendulum and the Streaks spread up and down from shoulders to waist.
 On the fifth stroke there was a red streak across Miller's back On the sixth, he groaned. His dark head ducked against his shoulder and his body twisted at the shoulders. He pressed frantically against the straps. The whip rose and fell and with each soft thud his Writhing in- creased.
 On the 18th stroke his groans rum bled across the corridor accom- panied by the steady humping of the whip.
 Thin red welts-a mild forerun- ner of the huge ones that rose with in an hour-spread across his back and his slim body sagged Imply against the post.
 The 20 lashes required only two minutes. But at the end Miller was slumped against the post and his groans had faded to an almost in- sobbing.
 He appeared to have tainted as the 20th stroke fell. The guards pressed him hard against the post to hold him upright as they un- bound him.
 Once he was free he was able to walk from the platform but only with assistance. With faltering steps a stride ahead of the guards, he went back to the cell block, to serve out a six months jail sentence.
 Deegan handed the cat O nine tails back to the warden and turned away.
 I've had to fog two in other years" he said.
 "T'he last man flogged here was in 1881. think this fellow took on worse than the others"
