Bomb Throwing at Barcelona AID
Madrfd-Seven People Killed.

Ma0r10-Seven GeOphe
BARCELONA, June IA bomb was
thrown into the crowd during the Corpus
Christi procession to-day, and its expIo-
sion resulted in the killing OF seven persons
and the injury of forty. The perpetrator Of
the deed is as yet unknown. and his mo-
tive is equally a mystery.
The news spread like wildfre over the
city and caused panic among the great
crowds drawn to the streets by the relig-
ious festival and the Sunday merrymaking
usual to the city. The explosion occurred
just as the Corpus Christi procession was
entering the ancient church of Santa Ma
ria del Mar This is in one of the most
thiclxly populated quarters OF the populous
city. The sound of the explosion and the
distressed cries of the injured and the
friends of the killed created an indescrib-
able panic among the great crowd i'm the
procession and lookers-on. The people
we're terror stricken with dread OF other
bombs being thrown, and IT was with diff
ficulty that they were restrained from
crushing each other In the stampede.
Seven corpses and forty persons severely
injured were found to be lying around the
church. The great excitement continues
