Wife Asks SmaII's
Forgiveness After His
AcquittaI in Staying
BY The Assoeiuted Pres,

ALLEGAN, Mich, July IT.
DR.. Kenneth B. Small told news
men he met his wife, Edith, at
the Allegan County jail today
shortly after a jury acquitted
him Of first degree murder in
the Staying of her sutton, Jules
Lack, New York businessman.
II thanked her for all she
had DONE" said the tall, hand
some dentist, "but there was no
talk of reconciliation"
The dentist said he couldn't
recall exactly what his wife said
at their early morning meeting.
But others gave this account of
the meeting arranged by sheriff's
officers.
Puts Head on His Shoulder.
The chic, svelte Mrs. Small
walked into the arms of her
husband, laid her head on his
shoulder and said:
please forgive me, Ken! This
week has awakened me-"
Later, DR.. Small said:
81 just don't know what to do
about our marriage.
I'm a little confused and I
don't know what to do. I'll be
happy to see Edith any time.
Asked if there was any chance
of their marriage being patched
up, he said:
Il guess you'll have to ask
her about that. I'm sorry I can't
give more positive answer, but
I really don't know"
Sees Need for Treatment.
DR.. Small recalled that three
psychiatristS at his trial had
testified he needed treatment.
He was acquitted on the grounds
of temporary insanity.
81 think they are right" he
said. II still think I need some
help"
However, DR.. Small began an
immediate battle to save himself
from commitment to a hospital
for the criminally insane.
The 31-year-old Detroit den
fist won the first skirmish as
Circuit Judge Raymond L. Smith
put off until next week a de-
cision on divergent commitment
views.
Prosecutor Dwight Cheever
argued that 1889 Michigan law
requires immediate commitment
of any person acquitted of muir
der by reason of insanity and
his retention until he is proved
sane. Leo Hoffman, defense
counsel, insisted that under
1947 law Judge Smith could ap-
point a sanity commission, to
rule on DR.. Small's current men
tai status, which Mr.. Hoffman
contends is a sane one.

satisfactory. No one outside the
hospital staff and her family was
permitted to see her.
Four others Of the injured
were still in the Kent-Queen
Anne's Hospital here.
A statement released by the
company after conferences with
Army ordnance experts and
Government safety officials said
the powder oven apparently set
off the series of explosions which
rocked Chestertown for 80 min
utes yesterday.
80 Buildings Wrecked.
Drying ovens are used to dry
out powder and the containers
into which it is packed for ex-
plosive devices.
The statement said the inves-
tigators still were trying to de-
termine the exact cause.
The plant, on a 25-acre site at
the western edge of town, man
ufactures fireworks detonator
fuses and training ammunition
for the Army and Navy. The ex-
plosions wrecked 80 Of the IS
buildings.
Streets that were crowded with
f1re-fighting equipment and am
balances yesterday were equally
crowded today by a combination
of curious motorists, the usual
Saturday shopping throngs and
trucks loaded with replacement
glass for shattered windows.
Maryland National Guards
men, called in yesterday after
noon, will continue to patrol the
streets and guard the desolate,
debris-littered factory site until
9 am. Monday.
Residents evacuated from their
homes within 600 yards of the
plant yesterday, when it was
feared that other blasts might
follow, moved back in today.
Demolition Teams Task.
Army demolition teams from
Aberdeen Proving Ground went
through the area of the blast to-
day and carried away remaining
explosive materials. They burned
the frecracker stuff without in
cident and wet down the more
dangerous lead ABIDE, a treach-
erous white powder.
A mild case of filters swept
through town again late this
afternoon when six heavy blasts
went off in the dump area where
ordnance experts fired off the
explosives after removing them
from the plantsite.
A dozen Federal Bureau of In
veStigation agents from Balti-
more and Washington were here
to probe the possibilities of sab
otage.
Damage Of $50O,000.
Chestertown Mayor Philip G
Wilmer, who also is president OF
the Gent Manufacturing Co.
said there has been no discus
sion of rebuilding. Another off,
cial of the firm set the damage
at a minimum of $500 900.
Mayor Wilmer said the COM
pany carries insurance on all its
employees. There are about $50
on the payroll and yesterday
was a scheduled payday for dis
bursement Of about $4,000.
Except for the first panic
after Fridays blast rocked the
town, Chestertown turned in a
brave performance, rallying to
the emergency with remarkable
zeal.

tested Civil Defense force was
in action within five minutes
after the first explosion. Mary
