SHIP'S BLOWUP FRUSTRATED MARSEILLES, France, Oct.

13 (INS An attempt to blow up the 16,000 ton Spanish steamer Capopi in Marseilles Harbor was frustrated at the last minute today. Two policemen rushed aboard the vessel just in lime to extinguish the fast burning fuse of a bomb. bumcd, and Carr with a still terrified look in his eyes, were officially pronounced dead at 9.20 a. m. by a member of the Chester Hospital stair.

Employes of Samuel R. Bell, local real estate man, the men were painting a cornice of the building f.O feet above the ground. In some manner. Reed contacted a live wire, evidently not insulated, which ran within two feet of the building. Can's ankle was touching Reed's ankle and as he felt the shock, Can let out a horrified scream.

Samuel" Bell, 35, hearing the scream, rushed to the roof from the office on the ground floor to meet a ghastly sight. Blue smoke was curling upwards from Reed's throat which was across the wire. Carr was rolling and moaning on the roof. As Sam Bell, reached brother. Jumr Bell.

These who glanced over to that side of the roof, saw the men in overalls, arms and legs stretched rigidly out from their bodies, eyes staring straight to the of' the building; they seemed to be at tached near to where the live wire ran close to the structure.

He said that Reed had stretched out on his stomach scraping the cornice of the roof when he lifted his head and contacted the wire. The toe of his right shoe, his knees, and his two hands, one of which stilt held the scraping tool, were all in contact with the metal roof, forming a perfect ground for the current. Sparks and blue smoke curled up from all these points of contact, and Evans believes that Carr, in the excitement of the moment, and urged by n. desire to help his stricken comrade, reached down and caught the prostrate man by the ankles.

Grounded himseir on the tin roof, the charge knocked him to the roof, where he but could not get free. His arms were horribly burned along the inside and in his wild struggle to get free from the lethal charge, he kicked his shoes from his feet. Reeds throat was burned throueh to the jugular vein. The black void showed, according to Evans, that he died immediately, but the might have been some chance for Carr if the help could have caught him a moment or so sooner. In speaking of the accident.
