NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Deputy Coroner
jenkins made an autopsy today on the
head OF the dynamite bomb thrower. 1t
Will take several weeks to harden the brain
sufficiently to make microscope examin-
aTlon. The bomb thrower has been
identified, but so far his name
has not been ascertained. He was
rampant anarchist, and is be-
lieved to have hailed from San Fran
cisco. In conversation in this city few
weeks ago the bomb-thrower said he had
been arrested for making incendiary
speeches in San Francisco
Captain Henry Horne, museum lec-
turer, has identified the head of the bomb
thrower as that of man who had a con-
versation with him two weeks ago. The
man, whose name he has forgotten,
wanted Horne to go out lecturing on
monopolies, railroads and socialistic top
les. Horne says the man told him he was
going to write to all the capitalists like
Gould and Sage. and if they did not come
to terms he would write them once again,
and II they still ignored the request that
he would blow them all up.
Horne gave Inspector Byrnes q card
which the bomb-thrower had sent him.
On it was written
Captain Harry Horne: / called. but failed to
see you, this afternoon, Wednesday. October 2
Would you please write where you are stopping
and when i can see you there, and oblige
d. W. SoUTHwoRTH, san Francisco,
Care Morris hotel, ii West street.
The inspector sent the following to Chief
of Police Crowley, of San Francisco:
Has there been any person arrested in your
city in the past two years for making an incen-
diary speech on the subject of capitalism, an
archsm and government control of railroadsf
If so, wire me his name, age, description and
date OF arrest, together with any particulars
you have relative to the matter. Answer as
soon as possible.
No answer was received tonight.
Hon. William ID. Tyler, of Tacoma, vice
president of the Pacific National bank of
that city, called at the morgue this after
noon and viewed the dead mans face.
The visitor thought the face bore q strik-
ing resemblance to that of a man named
A. J. Wilson, who was at one time general
manager of the Tacoma Ledger, and who
had been in an insane asylum in Illinois.
The police reported this afternoon that
they had found portions of human body
in the ruins near Sage's Office. The frag-
ments were sent to the morgue. 1t is be-
Ieved the remains were q part of the
bomb thrower's body.
Sage will be at his office Monday. Os-
borne, chief clerk of Russell Sage, said
this morning that arrangements had been
made for the temporary transaction of
business at the Office of Caldwell &
Bunker. Osborne had alarge force of men
at work overhauling great pile of rubbish
and picking out the valuable papers which
the explosion had scattered all over the
premises. The chief loss was by the de-
struction of the office furniture.
Only two persons were killed yesterday
the bomb-thrower and b. +. Norton,
Sage's private secretary.
