London. Nov. 5-A squad of detec-
! tfves from Scotland Yards is inVesu-
eating the explosion which occurred
shortly after II o'clock last night at the
residence of Hon. Reginald Brett, in
Tilney street, two doors from the resi-
dence of Hon. Sir Henry Hawkins, ono
of the justices of the queens bench di-
vision of the high court of justice, for
whom the bomb is supposed to have
been intended Colonel Edward Brad
ford, chief commissioner of police, is
personally directing the matter.
The scene around Tilney street at
daybreak this morning was one of eX-
IRENE excitement. The whole neighbor-
hood seemed to be in the possession on
uniformed police and detectives, who
kept back the sightseers. Many resi-
dents were so alarmed that they fled
from their houses and have been afraid
to return. AS soon as there was light
enough to work, Colonel Majendie, chief
inspector of explosives, directed that
photographs be taken of the scene from
all points of view, and all fragments of
the bomb, splinters, ETC., were taken to
police headquarters.
/ The fragments, etc, were then taken
to the home office for examination. Up
to noon today, the police have no def
mite theory as to the origin of the eX-
plosion with the exception of suspecting
man from Savoy hotel. The author
tiles are running down four theories.
One is that the explosion was the work
of some person who sought revenge for
some decision rendered by the late.
Lord Esther, master of the rolls and
father of Reginald Brett; another the
Dry is that Brett may have incurred
the enmity of the dynamiters; the
! third theory is that the explosion was
caused by the Irish Physical Force
party, and the fourth theory is that
anarchists attempted to carry out their
threats made against Justice Hawkins.
The front of the house outside Of
which the bomb was exploded was
much damaged, and the windows of
houses on the opposite side Of the street.
were smashed. The house was occu-
pied, but nobody was hurt. The force
of the, explosion must have been very
great, as the door of the house. was
blown in and the stone steps shattered.
Suspicion rests on a man who alight-
ed in the vicinity of the house fromrthe
cab which had conveyed him from the
Savoy hotel. He hasn't yet been ar
rested.
Justice Hawkins is the judge who
sentenced Frederick Charles, Victor
Gales, Joseph Thomas Duncan and
Jean Batolla. the Wallsan anarchists,
to various terms of imprisonment He
also presided at the trials of other an
archists and imposed sentences of
various degrees upon them.
The bomb plowed up cavity eighteen
inches deep below the threshold of the
front door, which was blown to pieces
! The top step, a slab Of concrete 40 by
/ IS inches, was blown across the street
The ratings were twisted.
The sound of the explosion was heard
for two miles.
The Daily News says a long anar-
chist manifesto was received in London
a few days ago. 1t was printed on
colored paper and was couched in VIC
lent but faulty English. 1t was headed
Death to Judges; Death to Jurors"
and said among other things: Com
rades, revenge is duty. You shall see
US at work. Death to judges jurors,
policemen in uniform and amateur DO
licemen."
