The case of Samuel Pocaro was then taken up by the courf. Charles Win- gerstman was recalled to the stand to exhibit pictures of the blasting of the ‘wall which he had taken at the time of the affair. Four pictures in ali were offered as exhibits. Mayor’s Testimony. Mayor Daniel P. Dunn was the next witness. He stated that he was first told of the condition of the wall on the morning of the dynamiting by Chief E. H. Richmond and Fire Chief Thomas Foley, who came to his store. The matter was talked over and it decided that dynamite should be the explosive used to raze the wall and do away with the danger. He told of the defendant coming to his store and stating_that the wall could be safely razed but he would like someome to assist him in the work. John Kelley was also secured to watch the work. The mayor had noticed that some of the engines about the yard had made the wall sway during the morning. He did not direct the work In any way, but tried to keep the crowd back befote the blast occurred. On cross examination the mayor stated that he thought the defendant was doing private work at the time he was notified to raze the wall. He did not know where Pocaro resided. There were few people on the scene when the men started drilling holes, but the crowd kept Increasing ail the time. He aid not know where Pocaro was at the time of the blast, or who had put the explosive in the holes. Mayor Dunn stated that the defendant had gone to work for the city in the middle of the summer and he was of the opinion that the duties Gf the man. in the sewer department necessitated knowledge of dynamite. Told to Be Careful. On redirect examination, wifness de- clared that Pocaro was under no in- structions from anyone only to be careful. The city paid for the dyna- mite used in the razing of the wall. Evidence of Injured Men. The four men, Weber, Carey, Lavoie and Delude, who were injured by the blast, testified to their knowledge of the affair. Coroner Arthur G. Bill of Danielson testified to the testimony taken at the time of his inquest in the affair. Joseph Paulhus testified to standing near Alford at the time of | the blast and he stated that the man had been hit by a piece of stone about the size of a brick. It was about seven inches long and two inches thick. Expert's Testimony as to Dynamite. ‘Andrew W. Bryne of Hartford, who has had 32 years' experience in the juse of dynamite; and who testified at the coroner’s inquest, was called to the stand. He had used dynamite to a great extent and in one case had used one and a half tons of the explosive on one job. The witness stated that dynamite when put into a hole would explode In all directions and would fly with more force and quicker where there was the least resistance. That is the way he accounted for the stones fiying out instead of into the air. He would have put the holes about three or four feet apart and would have used eight or nine pounds of the dynamite, which he thinks would have been enough. Claims He Was Misquoted. On cross examination he stated that he had been quoted wrong when his testimony read that the holes would JAY M.

He of the opinion that dynamite was dangerous when propeddy handled. would have put the hales in the b wall instead of the stone foundations as the brick would have less resist! power. J. H. Johnson on Stand. J. H. Johnson of Thompson was the next to testify. He stated that he been a blaster and Jealer in dynam for the past five years and had a great deal of experience in handling the ex- plosive. When asked if there was any. difference in the - of dynamite,’ he stated that all dynamite was mads: of a standard ‘When told how the wall was taken down he w3 of the opinion that too mu¢h had been, used. He would have used about ones quarter of a pound to a hole and had the holes about three and a- Balf feet apart. He thought that the wall the placing of the dynamite in holes had not been done properly of discharged properly. b, On cross examination he stated that he had never blown down a brick wall and no dynamite could have been" placed in the brick wall if there had: been an air space in the wall. In that case the dynamMe should have been placed in the stone foundation about: three inches from the outside. The holes should have been covered so that| there would have been as much resist- ance in front as on the other sides,| and when that is done a wall will crumble.
