full trainload was loaded by the
shovel as the members looked
on. -
A 22-cubic yard electric
shovel, idle at the time of the
visit was viewed. The guide
took the children upon the
shovel. Some of the group
climbed 125 feet and viewed
the shovel, while others climbed
almost to the top which Is 200
feet above the ground. The
guide said it required about
300 kilowatts of electricity to
run the shovel an hour.
Drills worked on the hill
side near by and a blast using
about 90 tons of dynamite was
set off as the members looked
on. About eight feet Of dirt
had to be removed before the

BALUCH GUILTY End
DEGREE MURDER
Jury Returns Verdict After De-
liberating for Three HOurs-TO
Be Sentenced Today

Andrew Baluch, 40, tavern keeper
along US. route 40, west of Keyser
Ridge, was found guilty of second de-
gree murder last night by jury in
Oakland where he was tried in con-
nection with the fatal shooting of
Memo burst, 27, of Grantsville, last
November. The state had asked for
a verdict of first degree murder.
Not Yet Sentenced
At Has this morning the court
had not yet passed sentence ON
Baluch.
The manslaughter trial against
Robert BrOadwater, of SwantOn, was
under way this morning.
Baluch was accused Of firing a gun
through the door of his tavern and
fatally wounding burst and also
wounding Victor Hollada, 80, of near
Grantsville. There was a possibility
this morning that other charges
against Baluch of assault with intent
to murder, and against Baluch and
his wife for sale and possession Of
alcoholic beverages, would be dropped,
according to States attorney, W
Dwight Slower.
Baluch based his defense on the
plea that he acted to protect his home
and fired when the pair attempted to
break down the door. Witnesses testi-
fled that Baluch fired four shots
through the door from two .38 calibre
revolvers.
Associate Judge Oliver II. Bruce,
Jr., and Chief Judge Joseph d. Mish
presided and indicated sentence would
be pronounced sometime today. The
maximum penalty is Is years i'm
prisonment.
The case began yesterday morning
after some time was spent selecting
the jury. Eleven of the original panel
were seated after challenges and dis
qualifications and of four talismen
summoned the first completed the
panel.
Baluch was defended by William r.
Offutt, f. r. Jones and Lewis R.
Jones. A. T. Matthews assisted Slower
in the prosecution.
The case was set for trial Tuesday
morning but was postponed due to
illness of Mrs. Baluch. More than 400
spectators jammed the court room
and galleries to hear the case. The
case went to the jury about 6 pm. and
the verdict was returned after about
three hours deliberation.
