Six bodies have been rec

ions in stored alcohol.

The chain of fires and explosions on the 61-acre grounds of the Am- erican Distllling Company injured 83 persons and destroyed four buildings. Estimates of the whisky loss ranged from 90,000 to 110,000 barrels-the equivalent of between 14,175,000 and 17,325,000 fifths o liquor.

SEARCH FOR BODIES

As the heat eased off. workers moved in with bulldozers and a scoop shovel to search for bodies in the scattered rubble.

The dead were Lawrence Neav- ear, 39; .Marion S. Gerber, 53; William Kohler, 35; James Dancey, 40; construction and engineering superintendent, Richard Eartmoed. 32, and Edward Winkler, 47. All were distillery employees.

The buildings-three large rack- houses, where whisky' is aged in barrels, and is storage house-were transformed into heaps of lava-hot rubble.

Each of these heaps resembled a huge kerosene lantern. Above each rose a tongue of flame about 15 feet high. There was no smoke. It was an eerie spectacle.

NEW EXPLOSIONS FEAR.

The heat from the burning build- ings-rather than the flames-kept alive the danger of new explosions in stored liquor in buildings which had not been touched by the fire.

The series of fires began about 2 a.m. Wednesday, when lightning

The 120-pound suspect was ar- raigned Thursday for the slaying of six-year-old Raymond Trudeau I short time after a six-man cor- oner's jury found him criminally responsible for the boy's macabre death, The jury delivered its ver- dict only three minutes after the conclusion of testimony.

Provincial medico-legal expert Dr. Rosario Fontalne drew shocked exclamations from the crowded coroner's court when he testified that the boy may have still been alive when his head was severed from his body. Dr. Fontaine said, however. he believed the death was caused by strangulation.
