Louise Waszak succumbed to in- juries in a hospital. The body of Raymond Waszak, 212, was found to- day. Coroner Martin Fromm said evi- dence indicated that 50 pounds of | pyrotol, used for blasting stumps, had caused the explosion. Physicians said six of the children— John, jr.,, 18; Lottie, 16; Elinore, 14; | Helen, 12; Prank, 8, and Joseph, 5— | all died within a few hours from skull fractures. The mother was killed instantly. John Waszak, hysterical story the father, told a of how the house raised off the ground and “scattered | | like matchwood” as he stepped out | of the barn where he had been “doing the chores.” Del Meyer, a neighbor, said the ex- | plosive was about four years old and | was thought to have become ineffec- | tive from age. | “It might have been set off by a i slight jar or by mice chewing on it,” he said. “The pyrotol was stored in | the milk shed up to about a week ago. Then Waszak apparently became ap- | prehensive somebody might tamper | with it and removed it to the base- ment of the house.
