Hardly a Doubt as to the Cause
of Andrus' Death.
VICTIM OF A DIABoLICAL PLOT.
Wires Found Laid Under the Once which
Were Cut After the Explosion Took Place
Also Four Dry Cell Batteries-A
Scheme That was Complicated and
Deadly Laid Bare-Believed to Have

New York. Oct. es.-There seems no
longer any room for doubt as to the
circumstances attending the death OF
Hamlin j. Andrus. who was blown to
pieces in the office of the Arlington
Chemical company. OF Yonkers. OF
which he was secretary, Wednesday
morning. All the circumstances point
to murder. Last night Coroner Miles
stated that thirty feet of wire had been
taken from under the building under
which the explosion of the bomb oc-
CURED. and that in addition four dry
cell batteries had been found in or near
the building. just where he would not
say. The wire was stretched under the
floor OF the office building and ran to a
point directly beneath where stood
the box which is believed to have con-
tanned the bomb. To what point out
side of the building the wires were con-
Quoted has not yet been divulged.
The Police Are 'On the Fence"
1t is said, however. that the wires
were found cut on a line with the outer
walls of the building. This in itself
involves a mystery that seems at pres
ent inexplicable. Notwithstanding the
discovery of the wires. the battery, and
the other paraphernalia that so strongly
indicates the hand of the assassin,
there are some people now engaged in
the investigation of the affair who be-
lieve still that Andrus met his death
as a result OF his own experiments.
The police are at present inclined to
stand merely between the. two theo-
ries. for they have placed some reliance
in the story told by Kelley. an en-
ploye, that he had seen Andrus going
into the office with a small parcel
| which might possibly have contained
the bomb.
Parcel Story Positively Denied.
The parcel story is denied. however.
by Andrus' son. who accompanied him
to his office on that fatal morning.
Coroner Miles. who has disagreed con-
| siderably with the police. stated last
night that in his opinion the bomb
| was suspended by a string from the
| bottom of the shelf desk at which
| Andrus was accustomed to stand: that
| the wires were run from an unoccu-
| pied building situated some distance
I fforn tiYeUligg1pUpnn Nehe floor
to the bottom of the desk. that they
| would rest closely against the string
and that when the current was turned
| on the string was burned off and the
| bomb released
Bomb Probably Intended for John.
| 1t is still believed by many that
the bomb was intended for John
Andrus, president Of the company and
| brother of the man who was killed
for while the latter was extremely pop
ular the former is said not to have
| established himself so warmly in the
hearts of the people. In view OF the
developments of yesterday the inquest
| which was to have been held today
has been postponed for week.

LOSS OF THE DRUMMOND CASTLE.
OF the 247 on Board Only Three Escape
Wotery Death.

"a shC ~Es Oh ADo8Tu Ouly 4nEee Escape =
Watery Death.
LONDON, juno 1a.-Further particulars
of the loss Of the Drummond Castle of the
French coast show tina. Of the 247 persons
on board only three were saved. The ves-
sci was away out of her course. Marquardt,
one Of the survivors, has made a state
ment in which he says that Captain Pierce
had just gone to his cabin for brief rest
when there was a terrible shock which
caused the Drummond Castle to quiver as
II shaken by a dynamite explosion.
This was followed by q horrible grating,
rasping sound, the noise of inrushing wat
er, the cries of the passengers, who sprang
from their berths in terror, and the sharp
words Of command from the officers on
the deck who ordered out all hands to clear
away the boats for lowering. But the
rents in the stricken steamer were SO wide
and deep that but few of the passengers
had time to scramble up on deck before
she gave two or three heavy rolls and then
an awful lurch, accompanied by some in
terror explosions and she sank.
Marquardt, contrary to the reports Of
the two seamen Of the Drummond Castle
who were rescued, said that the steamship
went down so suddenly that there was no
time even TO launch one boat, much less
two, and that even il boat had been
launched the seas were running 30 heavily
and in such rapid succcssion-a popularity
Of the season on that part of the French
coast-that she would have been promptly
swamped. Some of the passengers, how
ever, succeeded in fastening life belts
around them, and some OF the bodies
washed ashore were SO provided.
Of
Of the Drummond Castle has been aban-
doned. A tug which has Just returned
from Molene island says that the bodies of
twenty-five Of the victims of the Drum
mOnd Castle have been washed ashore at
that place. Much wreckage from the lost
steamship is washing ashore at Ushant
and Molene island.
