Boro Boy Still in Coma After ' A-Bomb' Injures 6
Child Scientists Experiment Goes Off Prematurely

Four children were in borough hospitals today-one still unconscious-victims 
of a childish attempts to make atom bombs.  Two others were treated at home.  
The experiment resulted in an explosion that wrecked an apartment at 465 
Chauncey St.

The injured are:
William Henry, 14, of 354 Chauncey St., cuts and bruises of the hands, severe 
cuts of the arms and crushed fingers of the right hand; Kings County 
Hospital.

George SUNDERMEIER, 13, of 475 Chauncey St., powder burdens of the face and 
hands; Kings County.

Grace GUIDO, 13, of 33 Granite St., cuts and bruises of the legs and hands; 
Kings County.

Gregory GALLO, 13, of 90 Hopkins Ave., cuts of the right i.e., legs and 
almonds; Bushwick Hospital.

To Others Slightly Hurt
two other children, Evelyn REARDON, 13, of 253 Hull St., and Steve OWENS of 
265 Chauncey St., were slightly injured, but did not require hospitalization.
The blast occurred late yesterday in the apartment of Laura HULSERT.  
80-year-old "grandma' to the neighborhood children, who often entertains the 
young people of the area.  Miss HULSERT, who was in the apartment at the time 
of the explosion, suffered only shock.
The six children came to visit Miss HULSERT yesterday about 530, one of 
them-police said it was the Henry boy-bringing two bottles containing 
chemicals and the number of empty gelatin capsules bought at a drugstore.
Making ' Atom Bombs '
They sat on the living room floor, Miss HULSERT said, and once she asked what 
they were doing.
Young Henry, she said, told that they were going to "make atom bombs."
Suddenly the apartment was rocked by an explosion which through the children 
across the floor, blew out both front windows and brought neighbors into the 
street.
A neighbor turned in a fire alarm but there was no fire.  Firemen gave first 
aid to the injured children until police and ambulances arrived.
Seek Cause of Blast
As young enemy was still unconscious this morning police said they were 
unable to learn what chemicals had been in the bottles.  None of the other 
children knew.  One child said the explosion came as the contents of the two 
bottles had been mixed and the mixture was about to be placed in the 
capsules.
Henry's mother told police she felt sure one of the other boys had the 
chemicals.  A son, she said, never had shown any interest in chemicals and 
there was no chemicals set in their home.
Doctors at Kings County hospital said it appeared four fingers of Henry's 
right hand will have to be amputated but the arm has been saved.
Juveniles ' A-Bomb' Experiment Mains Borough Boy for Life
A maimed right hand is the memento of a juvenile "atom bomb” experiment which 
one Brooklyn boy will carry through life.  He is William Henry, 14, of 354 
Chauncey Street who is still in a critical condition in Kings County 
Hospital.
Henry was one of six children hurt Sunday night when some unknown chemicals 
they were mixing in the apartment of Laura HULSERT, 80, of 465 Chauncey 
Street demonstrated their potency in an explosion which hurled them across 
the room and blew out the windows.
At the hospital physicians amputated four fingers of the boys crushed right ha
nd but said they expected to save the rest of the arm, which was badly 
burned.
The other youthful chemists were less seriously injured.  George SUNDERMEIER, 
13, of 475 Chauncey Street in Kings A hospital, and Gregory GALLO, 13, of 90 
Hopkinson Ave., in Bushwick Hospital are being treated for burns and cuts on 
faces, arms and legs.  Grace GUIDO, 13 of 33 Granite Street, who suffered 
bruises on her arms and legs has been discharged from the hospital.  And 
Steve OWENS, 13, of 465 Chauncey St., and Evelyn RARDON, 13, of 253 Hull St., 
have recovered sufficiently to return to their classes at Junior High School 73.
The collection to buy flowers and fruit for the children still hospitalized 
is being made a model their Bushwick neighbors by Robert THOROT, 15 a 
schoolmate and Mrs. Kitty DIGAGINNATO.
