The dangerous character OF the pack

doubt. A trial test OF their contents

:. A. Owen, the man who informed
Mtisis, Armour ana Pullman Sunday
night that the Internal machines woult
be mailed TO thsm,is detained In POstA
Inspector StuSTps Office on the huppo
,ltion that he sent the bombs. TIT
theory expressed by Inspector stuart u
that Owens conceived the idea OF send
Ing the bombs and notifying the reolp
ionlsin advance OF the mailing OF thu
packages, in the hope OF obtaining
good reward. This belief In furthe
strengthened by the similitude Of thu
bad spelling ON the address, aud th'
spelling In u statement furnished by
Owens in detailing the manner OF hll
securing the Information VI tho send
lug Of the packages. In his statement
Owens spells "cOntents" as"O0ntencu,'
and the word was misspelled In almi
lar manner on the cover OF the pack
age addressed 10 Mr.. Armour.
Further confirmation OF tho ihsorl
Il found In tho fact that Owens'H busi
ness IL that ola worker ON motals, ant
tho fact that tho bomb was prepared
by ekllled man. Tho lead pipe 4
plugged at both ends with cork, an'
the lead hammered down over thu
opening to make the cork slugs hold.
