"Jake" Rissler, 63 year old professional dynamiter and resident of Long Grove, is in the County jail in Waukegan, awaiting aprelimiâ€" nary hearing tomorrow (May 14) before Justice of the Peace Michael J.

About a half hour after the exâ€" plosion Chief Deputy Sheriff Thomas E. Kennedy and his radio patrol squads lined the highways . and started for the home of Eissler, in Long Grove, who was suspected by the Kapschull family of doing the work. When the officers arrived at Kapschull house and threw Kapâ€" schull, his wife and three children from their beds in rooms on the second fioor. Windows were shatâ€" tered in the neighboring homes of Harry Wing, former Deerfield presâ€" ident, and Elmer L. Clavey. _ his home they found the lights in one of the rooms still on. ‘They felt the radiator top of his truck and found it still warm. â€" .. _ _ _ When confronted Eissler ‘denied that he knew anything about it and claimed he had loaned his truck to another man.

According to Kiapschull, Eissler had been paid $467.45 in wages for work as a dynamite "monkey" over a period of less than four months last year. In addition Eissler had been paid rent for the barn and a section was built for the barn for a "total of $253. n L As to the dirt purchasing, Kapâ€" schull said that he had never obliâ€" gated himself to buy dirt from Eissler but that he had once said that if it was not convenient to buy chase might be made from Essler. The Kapschull home was built in 1983 at a cost of $23,000. When the explosion occurred it was at first feared that it might have been the result of a labor disâ€" pute. This cause was speedily efimâ€" inated when it was. revealed that Kapschull has engaged only union labor on road contracts and that there was mo dispute among the laborers.
