HEAD OF FIREWORKS CO. KILLED IN BLAST

H. B. Therle and Two Employes Die When Series of Explosions Wreck Buildings.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—H. B. Therle, president of the Pain Fireworks Display Co. of America, and two employes, were killed here today in a fire, and series of explosions which destroyed the one-story brick building occupied by the company at 1320 South Wabash avenue.

Two missing .employes also are believed to have lost their lives. Three persons were injured and taken to hospitals. The dead:

H. B. THERLE, president. E. M. CONNOR, salesman. FLORENCE HILL, stenographer. The victims had scarcely a chance to stir out of their tracks so rapidly did the explosions follow and the building became wrapped in flames. The north wall of an eight-story building on the south was blown in, causing a panic' among the occupants, jfwho, however, reached the pavement safely by fire escapes, the women being assisted by firemen.

Across the street similar scenes were witnessed when flaming debris shot by the explosions shattered windows, but there was no loss of life. Monetary damage is estimated at $50,000.

John Costello, one of the missing, was found later in a hospital badly injured. He was blown through a rear floor by the explosion.

left eight 3-inch guns in the hands of the enemy. This enraged the Zouaves who begged to be allowed to get them back and recapture the position.

When the trumpet was sounded for the charge and the Zouaves bounded forward many turned their heads as they did not wish to see what they thought was sure to happen to them but on they went singing, shouting and defying the rain of machine gun fire. A great portion fell on the way but the rest pressed forward until they pounced on the enemy's line. It seemed then as if there were only a few fia.shes of cold steel for the enemy broke and the cannon were immediately trained on the fleeing foe to avenge the zouaves who had fallen in the heroic charge.

During the examination of the talesmen during the morning session it developed that Daniel W. Brown, who was called, was the republican candidate for trustee on the republican ticket and he was excused to make his campaign.

William Wasson was examined next. He answered all of the questions with satisfaction to the defense until they came to the question as to whether or not he would consider the Indictment of Ehrmann for murder in the first degree something more than a mere charge. He said that he would and that it would reqiiire evidence to remove such opinion. He said he could accept the theory of justifiable selfdefense and he was temporarily seated.

Charles Thompson declared that he held a very strong opinion in the matter and doubted if evidence could change that opinion. He was excused. E. A. Cummings was next called. It developed that he was not a freeholder nor a property holder and he was excused.

Hector Pence said that he was not acquainted with any of the parties in the case knew neither Ehrmann nor the Wade family and knew of tht, case only what he had read in the papers. He said that he never had any relations with labor organizations but held no prejudice against them. O. F. Bell was the next talesman called and he was passed tentatively after answering the questions put by the defense.

Knew the Attorneys.

E. A. Welch was called and excused and his place was taken by Homer Welch. He said he was a farmer and a freeholder, that he knew all of the attorneys in the case who lived in Rockville and the talesman caused a ripple of laughter in the court room when asked if he ever had any trouble with labor. He replied: "Yes, I have. I've had some trouble with my faroi hands."

Welch said that he know nothing of the cafe. Never knew that Wade had been killed, never read the papers on the case and was not familiar with any details of the case.

He said that if reasonable doubt was established he could vote to acquit the defendant.

Mf.rtin C. Hunt and George C. McMullen were next examined. McMullen said that he believed that Ehrmann was guilty. Later he said hecoulg vote to acquit if self-defense was established.

Andrew Pickard was next called and asked to be excused from jury duty owing to defective "hearing. Thecourt tested his hearing by having persons in the court room speak to him and when Pickard seemed to hear distinctly he was temporarily passed. The defense excused. J. H. Banta- James G. McCampbell said that he was deaf. He was excused and Frank Payne was called. With the conclusion of the examination of Payne both the state and defense said they would accept the Jury as it stood.

Mr. Ehrmann was attended by his brothers. He seldom consults with his lawyers, depending on their judgment in the selection of the jurors. He takes a keen Interest, however, in every move in the case and seems prepared for the long siege into which the case is expected to evolve.

The attendance Wednesday was but little larger. Rockville people drop in to get a glimpse of the principals and the array of legal talent from Terre Haute, but there is no very general interest in the proceedings on the part of the people here.

WERNEKE IS PREPARED.

It was thought Wednesday morning by attorneys for the defense that Finley McNutt of Terre Haute, would make the opening statement for the defendant. This question, however, has not been definitely settled.

LATE NEWS TUESDAY

Questions Asked Talesmen Bear on Labor Angle of Case.

By Special Correspondent. ROCKVILLE, Ind., Sept. 30.—It was evident Tuesday afternoon that the questions propounded to the venire or more than sixty men summoned to try Emil K. Ehrmann on the charge of murder, might be construed to mean that the legal battle will center largely around labor questions. Each juror examined was questioned closely regarding his views on the labor question and his connections, if any, with organized labor. Court was adjourned at 5 o'clock with the state excusing Samuel Philips as a talesman and the seating of Clarence McMurtry in his place. Philips was the seventh juror to te examined by the state arter the prosecution had seated twelve men temporarily.

An example of the list of questions asked each juror by both sides follows: The State.

Do you understand the purpose of organized labor? Would the fact that Edward Wade, who was shot and killed by the defendant, was a member of organized labor influence your ability to give a fair and impartial decision in this case?

Have you any prejudice against organized labor for striking for shorter hours and more wages?

Do you understand that organized labor has a right to strike for better conditions and wages and to place pickets about the place of their employment to persuade others from working under the same conditions?

Are you acquainted or related to any of the attorneys for the defense or the defendant?

Have you ever had any business relations with any of the attorneys for the defense? With the defendant or his relatives?

The Defense.

If it be lawful in a case of this kind that the defendant: is innocent until proven guilty will you presume that he is innocent until proven guilty?

If it be the law that a man does not have to retreat from his property when threatened with violence and he should use arms to protect himself would you be prejudiced?

Would you consider the indictment of the grand jury other than a charge? Have you ever been connected with any labor organizations? Has any member of your family?

If the defendant were not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt would you acquit him, i/ it be the law?

Have you any prejudice against a man defending himself when he is threatened?

At the time of adjournment Tuesday afternoon, the following Jurors had been given preliminary examination by the state and defense: Floyd Clark, Albert Banta, Martin Hunt, J. H. Bosley, Claude Whetsell, E. A. Webstei and D. H. Brown. It is not certain, however, that no objections will be made against these jurors.

Jurors All Farmers.

Without exception all of the Jurors examined so far have been farmeis. Court officials of Parke county declare that the list was taken from all parts of the county and that every township is represented in the special venire of 50 men.

C. L. Sherrill, of Adams township, was excused from jury duty shortly after the afternoon session was begun Tuesday when he stated that he had formed an opinion of the case and that evidence would not remove it.

Judge Barton S. Aikman showed an inclination to expedite the trial by his rulings Friday. The court's rulings were short and decisive and both sides expressed satisfaction with the way the case is being handled.

Howard Maxwell, of Rockville, took charge of the examination of jurors for the defense after the state had seated twelve men temporarily. In his opening statement he said:

Maxwell Opens Case.

"The state bases its indictment on an act which occurred in the city of Tferre Haute Miay 27, 1913, in front of the Ehrmann overall factory, which is situated on the south side of Wabash avenue near the Chicago, Terre Haute & Southeastern railroad. The shooting occurred in front of* the main door of the building at 6 o'clock In the evening."

Joseph Roach for the state objected to tho statements of Maxwell at this point on the grounds that they were introductory. Maxwell maintained that •hey- were simply to fix the time and "n'* the court overruled the ob-

jection. Maxwell then proceeded with his examination. Sharp discussion arose during the examination of Martin C. Hunt, a juror. Hunt told the court that in his opinion a man should retreat before shooting another to save his own life. The court explained that the law does not require a man to retreat and asked the juror if he would follow the law. Hunt replied that he would, but Carson Hamill for the defense objected on the grounds that the Jury determined the law and did not follow the court's instructions. Hunt replied in the affirmative to the next, which was whether he would obey the court's instructions, and he was allowed to be seated tentatively. A recess of ten minutes was then taken.

Former Miner Seated.

When the court was again called in session J. H. Bosley and Claude Whetsell were passed on temporarily. E. A. Webster said that he had once been a member of the United Mine Workers at Fcntanet, but that this would not prejudice him in the case. He was allowed a seat.

Mi Mary Wade, wife of the slain man, with her daughter Gertrude, 11 years old, arrived shortly after the afternoon session was called. They occupied seats with the prosecuting attorneys. Mrs. Wade was dressed in mourning p.nfi showed signs of worry. Her little daughter smiled at the jurors and spectators and looked up in wonderment when the name of her father was mentioned.

Emil Ehrmann sat with his brothers, Max Ehrmann, the noted author, and Charles Ehrmann, a meat packer, during the entire afternoon session. He watched Intently his attorneys and the state's attorneys as they battled on every possible legal point to select the twelve men to decide his fate.

Nearly all of the witnesses for both sides have been asked to be present Wednesday. There has been some hope that a Jury will be selected before the court adjourns Wednesday evening.
