Trial In Wire Death Case At Unionville
A foreman and a dynamiter go on trial in Circuit Court on manslaughter charges over the August 2 electrocution death of Merton B. Gorsuch near Unionville. Parks and Seifert deny guilt, claiming they warned others and acted to fix the downed high tension line after a dynamiting incident. State witnesses testified a rock broke an insulator, the line draped over a fence with 6900 volts, and the men did not notify Potomac Edison or locals of the danger.
