Show School's Dead Numbers 44 Bath, Michigan The state of Michigan Mich-igan took steps for the relief of this stricken village, into whose homes a demented farmer sent death and desolation des-olation by dynamiting its school and blowing to death more than two score persons. Of the forty-four dead thirty-seven were small children, pupils pu-pils in the lower grades of the school. Andrew Kehoe, 45-fcear-old treasurer of the school district his mind deranged de-ranged by finnacial reverses alone conceived and executed the dynamiting, dynamit-ing, in the opinion of the investigating officers; They abandoned an earlier theory that he had outside help in planting dynamite in the building and wiring it to set off the blast. |
