Homemade H Bomb Explodes CLEVELAND lPI A home made "hydrogen bomb," used as a trial exhibit, exploded in court Tuesday and sprayed the judge and 12-man jury with sludge from a city dump. Judge Ross Michener wiping sludge from his bald head, said he would rule later on a mistrial mo tion the defense made immed iately after the blast. Mrs. Mary Grosser sued for damages against Armet Alloys, Inc., in the death of her husband. Fred. Ho died ot burns received in 1949 while operating a bulldo zer in the city dump. The widow said Grosscr's bulldozer hit mag nesium shavings, dumped by the alloy firm, and was wrapped in flames when they ignited. Tuesday, Dr. Aaron Teller, Fenn College chemist, attempted to prove for the plaintiff the sludge at the dump is explosive. He ex hibited a sludge-filled flask to which he added water, declaring it would give off hydrogen gas. In an initial test, he lit the gas that came out of the flask. 1" the second and final test, he corked the flask. A few seconds later the cork flew out of the bottle with a loud crack and the sludge erupted into the court room.
