Johnson, a re tired superintendent of an Iron and brass foundry, had said ho had not told anyone It was his belief that tho Times win blown up by union men, and hud not talked to anyone about tho caxe.

NEARS DEADLOCK ATTORNEYS FOR DEFENDANT EX PECTED TO FIGHT FOR CHANCE OF VENUE. RULINGS 0F COURT ARE OPPOSED Talisman Furnish Subject For Long Discussion Dsrrow Indicates Thst Hs .Is Displeased With Procedure. LOS ANGELKS, Oct. 28. Strong possibility for a petition for a change of venue Is seen before the cIoho of tho third week of the McNamara trial, which ended today In a general snarl. Such a demand already has been re fused by Judge llordwell, the refusal being backed by an affidavit from Judge Mutton, presiding judge. of the twelve departments of the Superior Court of Los Angeles county, certify ing to the impartiality of Judge llord well. The examination of Winters and Frampton, who were challenged for cause, has not been completed. Iloth men are still under challenge tonight. It having occurred to Attorney Ijb compte Davis, for the defense, after the adverse ruling of the court, that neither hud been Interrogated as to whether he would vote for conviction In a capital case on circumstantial evi dence alone. Each said he would not, and as this Is ground for challenge, under the law they were challenged. The state resisted, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Horton declaring that such challenge should have been of fered sooner or not at all: that If the men were against hanging It was so much bettor for the defense, and that tho statutory provision never was In tended and could not be used as "a savior of peremptory challenges." "We don't want Frampton or Win ters on that Jury, because they are not fair-minded men," cried Attorney Scott for the defense. In response to this, "We want them off, no matter whether the challenge Is on the ground that appears to be beneficial under other circumstances or not." .Four talesmen acceptod by both sides as to cause, but still subject to peremptory challenge, two more now under challenge for cause and six in the box waiting examination, was the showing at the end of the third court week. Harrow Is said to be displeas ed with the rulings. EVE OF DEPARTURE Simple Mixture Used In Oregon City.

Montgomery, of Santa Clara College, died tms afternoon from the effects of a terribl.i fall from an aero plane glider he was experimenting with in the foothills about two miles east of Evergreen. , He apparently lost control of tbe machine according to witnesses, and fell twenty feet, sustaining Injuries to the hack and base of the brain, wnicn resulted In death a little more than an j hour and a half after he was brought back to Santa Clara in the automobile of Dr. J. I. Beattie, who was summon ed immediately. Professor Montgomery remained conscious up to the last and spoke coherently to Dr. Beattie several min utes before he passed away. When the Injured man was taken to his residence at Santa Clara, ne was seen to be elowly sinking. Every thing that medical science could de vise was tried by the attending phy sician, but all that could be done was to lessen the agonies of approaching ! death. Mrs. Montgomery was with her dis tinguished husband, and was watch ing him in his experimental flights when the tragedy occurred. Accord ing to Mrs. Montgomery, who Is al most distracted by the terrible termin ation of the experiments, the machine was about twenty feet from the ground when it got beyond her hus band's control and fell. He died in his wife's arms. Professor Montgomery had been an authority on aerial navigation. Recently he sold for U.700,000 his rii?hta to certain aeroplane improve ments, the payment of this sum being contingent on the winning of a suit against the Wright brothers for al leged Infringement. His electrical rectifier was the subject of extensive litigation for two or three years, which resulted in the complete vindi cation of his right to the exclusive title.

Per Ishing as they stood at their work bench which penned them In behind a long counter with not a chance foi escape, seven young women wero burned to death today and another Is dying in agony as the result of a sud den flash of uncovered powder In the mixing rooms of the Imperial Powder Company. As the death shrieks of the girls rang through the building, twelve men who had been working, in other parts of the plant escaped with hardly a scorch. Several of them were blown through the exits to safety. The dead: 4 . Vera Milford. ' Sadie Westfall, only daughter ot Samuel Westfall. Eva Gllmore. Bertha Hagle, whose mother, Mrs. Mary White, Is a widow. Ethel Tharp. Tillie Rashback. Ethel Henry. Ethel Crown was so terribly burned that her death Is regarded as merely a matter of hours. ' Chehalis tonihgt is a city In mourn ing. At the morgue, where the bodies of tbe dead girls are lying, their charred corpses mercifully hidden un der sheets, hundreds of persons wait ed outside all evening, as relatives strove to identify their dead. But even this sad comfort was denied most of them. Only one of the bodies, that of Miss Ethel Tharp, has been Identified. Her father, E. F. Tharp, Identified It by means of a ring discolored and half melted by the terrible beat which she wore on her finger. Of the others, none will probably ever be Identified for certain. The disaster befell with appalling suddenness. An early report tonight, which has since been denied, was to the effect that a careless workman In , the mixing-room let a pot of paraffine boll over, and that part of It ran Into some powder. Whatever the cause, there was a sudden flash, and In an Instant tho whole Interior of the factory was In a blaze. There was no explosion, one of the properties of the Imperial Pow der product being that It will not ex plode unless confined. The powder simply went up In a flash, and those who were not near exits had no chance to escape death. The young women, who were all employed as packers, were working at a long counter next to a wall. When found, their bodies were hod died together, as If they had been blown there by the force of the Ignit ing powder, or had died trying to escape. Their workbench was In their way and completely cut off their road to safety, even had there been time. J. H.
