Eleven men were killed and twenty three injured here late yesterday by four explosions which destroyed the detonator assembling building of the duPont cap works and shook the countryside for miles around. Fire, which* followed- the explosions, was confined to the one unit, and the property loss was said to be slight. With the first blast, hundreds of men, women and children who had relatives working at the plant, hastened to the scene, but becaijße of possible danger to them guards barred them at the gates. As soon as It was possible the injured were rushed to the company's hospital at Haskell. It is feared that four or five of the injured may die. Officials of the company said last night they believed an employe at work assembling French fuse detona tors, which are filled with fulminate or mercury, had dropped one. of them. Exploding, this had set off the stock in the building, which, of ficials claimed, contained only twen ty-five or thirty pounds of fulmi nate. The assembling building, located on a slight hill, was widely sepa rated from the other units, compris ing the plant, which are scattered for two or three miles up a narrow val ley. The killed and injured were all at work in this structure, but officials said a few others also em ployed there had escaped.
