Chicago, May 14.- -The evil spell of
“13th’’ is blamed for the death of eight
women in a fearful panic yesterday, in
the city hall, where the body o- Sam
uel Meisenberg, a marine killed at
Vera Cruz, was lying in state.
The panic followed the explosion
of a flashlight by a newspaper photo
grapher, who tried to secure a picture
of the crowd passing the bier. Some
thing was wrong with the chemical
combination of the flashlight powder,
and instead of the usual light bang,
which accompanies the firing of an ex
plosive flashlight, there was a terrific
roar. The corridors were crowded,
and in the rush to escape, men, women
and children were trampled to the floor.
Meisenberg was the thirteenth
marine killed at Vera Cruz, and the
photographer set off the flashlight at
13 minutes after 3 o clock.
