^ ___ - - *
Chemical tests of bits of wreckage from the air liner which crashed mysteriously near Chesterton, Ind.,
lead authorities to believe that a high explosive, not difficulty with the plane, caused the disaster which
killed seven persons. The tests were made in the Northwestern University Scientific Crime Detection
Laboratory and chemists reported traces of nitroglycerin. The fact that the plane’s tail was blown a mil*

bomb was placed by a murderer who wanted to kill one of the seven in the plane, and believed a “perfect
crime” could be effected by causing the disaster.
