standing near by. One of these named Cocoon
distinctly saw the burning fuse and attempted 10
extinguish it with his foot. But at that very
moment the object, which was bomb OF spherlcal
form, made of metal about eight-tenths OF an lnch
thick, exploded with terrible noise. Cocoon was
wounded in the left hand and thigh. Ills COM

Meanwhile, boy of thirteen years OF age

Unlike the explosives used by Orsini and Plen

unlike the projectiles usually employed for such
nefarious projects this bomb was not thrown by
