Page 2 THE KEY WEST CIT! IZEN ARMY EXPERTS SEEK (Continued from Page One) Shared the opinion the jets had} nothing to do with the blast. However, Fire Chief Alex Herz- berg said he was investigating the possibility the aircraft might have been responsible. At the height of the chaos caused by the explosions, an estimated half of Chestertown’s 3,100 residents evacuated the town, on foot and by car, clogging highways in all directions. + Town Evacyated Sheriff Bartus Vickers ordered everyone out of town after the first muffled explosion in Building B, about 10:30 a.m. In a chain re- action, the ex plosions spread through the 65 buildings on the 20-| acre site. The eight larger structures blew up and 22 smaller buildings, 15- feet square and spread out for safety’s sake, disappeared. The company, one of the largest of its kind in the country, employs | 275 and most employes were on hand yesterday because it was pay day. The evacuation was under way when the explosions slacked off shortly before noon. And the mass exodus continued when word spread that the fire threatened a powder drying shed which might have taken half of Chestertown with it. had it gone off. A sudden shift of wind saved that building and the day. DENTIST IS ACQUITTED (Continued from Page One) order pending a plea for a writ of habeus corpus. Prosecutor Dwight M. Cheéver had asked im- mediate commitment. Waits For Writ Dr. Small was returned to jail pending obtaining of the writ. The jury had a choice among four verdicts — guilty of first de- gree murder as charged, or guilty of second degree murder, man- slaughter, or innocent by reason of insanity. Had Dr. Small been convicted of first degree murder, he would have been sent to prison for life. This would have been mandatory under the law. A stark story of family tragedy came out in the five days of emotion-laden court testimony. Until the pretty and gay Edith met Lack on her Florida vacation with her three sons last March, the Smalls to all appearances were the happiest of families. Neighbors so related, telling of the fondness of the couple for each other and their children. Then the infatuation of Mrs. Small for the “other man” intrud- ed, On the witness stand Mrs. Small, amid tears, said she told her hus- band of losing her heart to Lack. Dr. Small, a slim six-footer, also wept while testifying in corrobora- tion of much of his wife’s story. At one point, choking on his words, he told of a conversation with his wife, He had resisted her demand for a divorce. SOLDIERS, TELL OF (Continued From Page One) they were only on a holiday. The seven appeared nervous but otherwise seemed fit. They had changed from the rumpled, dirty clothing they wore on their release July 15, and were neat and clean shaven. Davis said the Czechs took them from Bernau, West’ Germany crossing point to an unknown des- tination inside Czechoslovakia. “We do not know where we were held,” Davis continued. “It may have been Prague and it may | not. We were held in prisons, that’s all we know.” Blindfolded When the men were first cap- tured, the Czechs turned their cloth garrison caps inside out and shoved them down over the men’s eyes in an improvised blindfold. “I pulled my cap up several times,” Davis said, “but a guard jammed it back down over my eyes as they led us away. They meant business.” Davis said that after they had trudged for some time with the| makeshift blindfolds around their eyes, they arrived at a house. | “We were taken individually to | other rooms where the Czechs took | most of our personal things, which | included our billfolds, identifica-| tion cards, wrist watches and the} like. Then they put us into a ve- hicle after handcuffing us. | “Then they took us to a larger | building where we were seated in| a row. They copied our names off the identification cards. They caught us at about 5:30 p.m. and by then it had grown dark. After we were seated in the second build- ing, a Czech officer artived and interrogated us in English for about an hour.” First Questioning Davis said that these first ques- | tions were of “a military nature,” but did not elaborate. “T explained that we were a sightsteers on a holiday and didn’t | know we had crossed the border, if | we actually had crossed it.” j No threats were made at the) first interrogation, but the Czechs insisted that the men, all mem-) bers of a medical detachment, | were spies. : “After that, we were handled in- dividually. We were all separated and did not see each other during our confinement,” Davis con-, dnued. CLEVELAND COPS (Continued from Page One) at Harvard, he took part in more than 1,200 autopsies.

Shep- pard has described the intruder in his home as tall and bushy haired. Sheppard told a reporter he had given “to proper authorities” names of “several suspects” he thought might be insane and who |may have been admiring his pret- ty wife.
