The explosion occurred at 9.25 o'clockIn the morning, when many of thethirty-fou- r families In the houso werehardly out of bed for the holiday.
Policeman Thomas Umb, who was atthe southeast corner of 104th street andIexlngton avenue, and Policeman Hergwere thrown to the ground by the shock.They ran to the tenement house us soonas they had regained rthelr feet. Otherpersons for blocks around had beenoverturned by the force of the explo-

ntlll enveloped in a tremendous dustcloud, they met I'ollceman Hntnmons andMcGarvey, both off duty. All four menentered In face of imminent peril.
They got most of the families out ofthe house with the aid of firemen whowere called. Reserves from three sta-
tions, 100 men In nil, had to be sum-
moned to keen back the big ciowds.

The police do not hesitate to say thatthey believe Caron bad a huge quantityof dynamite stored In his room, perhapsfor use at Tarrytown. They tlguie thatCuron was either making soinit of It upInto u bomb or handling It In some waywhen It exploded,
Inspector Owen Id Kan, the explosiveexpert and chief of the IJurcau of Com-bustibles, who surveyed the tenement dl-- 1
rectly after the explosion, said that Itj was undoubtedly caused by dynamite In
a large quantity.

lnnuest.Tho chief admitted that Mrs. Angle
was talking freoly, but said that she had"told nothing new" He said bo was notbothering her much, except to eeo thatshe bad all the comforts she could havunder the circumstances,
Mr. Angle Is r.nt confined to thwoman's department of thn lockup SheIs In the dormitory nnd has .t to sean celt. She passed n good flight and Wasup early Sho ate three fairlyhearty meals.
Father First Visitor.Aside from her father, Leonard Hlon-del- l,
who was the first to call to sec her,Mrs. Angle's only visitor y wasMrs. Oeofgu Kagle, at whose house shastopped while on bail. She had a numbeiof telephone calls, however. Thern l atelephone In the police dormitory and sheIs nllowed to use It freely.
Her father vlclted her twice y andthen went to consult a physician. MrHlondcll snld he did not sleep awink Inst night from worry oer hisdaughter He seemed on thu verge of

Tho detectives were aotivo In the cansbut were under Instructions not to

day," Mrs. Angle said y to n personwho visited her In the dormitory, "hutthey will get nothing out of me, exceptwhat I have already told them I know-nothin-
more, 1 call tell nothing more.I can't- understand why they an keepingme here. I had nothing to do with MrHallou's death."
"People sometimes do things in an nut-bur-
of temper which they regret alltheir life." the visitor suggested.
"I never hnd such n temper." Mrs.I Anglo nnswered. "I understand thai II have been pictured ns having a tlgrrlsh
temper nnd all that sort of tntng. Tnecontrary Is true. 1 never did anything ina fit of temper that I regretted because lnever allowed myself to have fits of ternPtr, People are maligning me."
"Why do you not make i voluntasI statement then and hnvo It a'.l over with
"I would bo only too glad t do so. Iwant to tell the Coroner everything rto tell my story In the way he wishes 't,
j but I cannot because my lawjer will r ''permit me and I am bound by my piotu
lse to daddy to do as my lawyer advises"Innocent, Crlen Mrs, Anule.
j "I am Innocent, Innocent," cried Mrs.Angle, raising her hands toward heaven
I "Hefore Oud I am Innoe mt. See, I lockyou In the eje: I raise my hands to
J heaven and say that before my Make. I
am Innocent of any connection with theI death of Waldo It. H.illoti. Do you nutI believe me""

"I am worried about daddj . ou knowbis health Is not good. lie broke downa year ago and we came near losing himI'm afraid this trouble will be the deathof him."
Thoii. becoming hsteilcal again, shsaid fi disconnected sentences:
"Oh, If I bad only done what daddywished me to I would not be tn all thistrouble. He wanted me 'to go downto Maine with htm when lie deparleJ'o his place thcro some months ago. Iwas sick and nervous, nnd he nald thclimate and the rest would brace me up.I then had n musical engagement InNew York which , required my presenceevery Sunday. I was corning- - moneywith wnlch I hoped lo reimburse .himIn a measure for all he bad expndedIn educating me. I told him whnt mi'purpose was, and he bade me nevermind the money, but to come withhim. d promised him I would go to Mainswhen my musical engagement was ended.Oh, If I had only broken the engage-ment then and there how different thingswould b for tioth of us."
