Two Men Post Bail In Fatal Unionville Electrocution Case
Two men charged with man slaughter in the electrocution deaths of Unionville farmer Morton B. Gorsuch and livestock dealer John D. Wilt were released on $5,000 bond each pending September grand jury action. Joseph Parks, 53, of Towson, and Carl W. Seifert, 42, of Baltimore, posted bonds before local officials after being held at a State Police barracks near Frederick. Parks, a general foreman on the Unionville bypass roads project, and Seifert, an expert dynamite man loaned to the subcontractor, are alleged to have caused a dynamite blast that damaged a high tension line, leading to a fence contact and the two deaths.
