man with Hatred OF the English.
Inspector McCusky is working on what
seemed to be promising clue to the man
who sent the Internal machine to the Cunard
Line pier a week ago to-day. He has found
out where Rosseo. as tn dynamiter Is
known here, bought the 100 pounds Of ex-
plosive in this city. and the inspector has
had talk with the man who sold the stun.
The description Of Rosseo given by the
salesman is that OF the man who boarded
with Mrs. Currie in West Thirty-frst street.
McClusky will not tell the name Of the
concern which sold the dynamite, nor
will he say anything about what he learned
from the man who sold the explosive.
From another source these facts about
the sale Of the stuff were obtained:
Rosseo walked into the dynamite shop
a little less than two weeks ago last Satur-
dynamite for blasting. and he bought 100
pounds giving directions as to where it
should be delivered. The dynamite was
delivered the same day. 1t is inferr ed
that the place Of delivery was not within
the confines Of New York city.
The reason for this is that 1t is known
Rossso carried the dynamite to Mrs.
Currie's house in buggy. Horses and
buggies are kept for hire at few livery
stables in this city, and the liverymen
who do keep them are not in the habit OF
letting them to strangers. The principal
business Of liverymen in smaller places,
like Hoboken, for instance, is the letting
of light traps, and strangers are made more
welcome. 1t is suspected, therefore, that
the dynamite was delivered outside OF
New York perhaps in nearby Jersey town,
and that Rosseo brought 1t from there to
his lodgings in West Thrty-first street.
Although he would not discuss this new
development in the case, it is known that
McClusky knows not only where and when
the dynamite was bought, but when it was
delivered. His men. 1t was learned last
night. have all the territory in the vicinity
OF the place of delivery watched, and It
Is expected that by tonight or Tomorrow
the police will have learned from whom
the horse and wagon which carted the
dynamite to New York were hired, and also
some other facts about &c. Rosseo."
The police believe that .Rosseo" is
French mechanic, whose right name is
Rousseau, or something very close to It.
The police have also reason to believe
that he was employed at one time in the
faosOE of large XIII ba BASIS s ene
Of the police theories as to motive. Some
of McClusky's men point to the fact that,
among middle and lower class Frenchmen,
there is a strong hatred OF anything British.
Therefore, they argue; it would not be
twisted brain or with anarchistic tenden-
cies to conclude that he would be doing
a good turn for his county II he sent
British ship or two to the bottom.

tive sergesnts Funston and Carey have
been in Chicago. for several days. He
wanted to give them some instructions
which he didn't want 10 send by mail or
Carey and Funston will remain IN Chicago
for q day or two, at least. McClusky said
that it had been absolutely established
that the clockwork mechanism and the
dynamite box had been made in Chicago
and that he was fairly positive that the
maker had not returned to that city since
the box was delivered on the Cunard
pier.
aOf one other thing am convinced"
said McClusky-'ths man Rosseo, or what
ever his name ia, acted quite alone am
practically certain that he was not the
representative Of any organization. why
! have reached this conclusion do not
care to say at present.
Detective Sergeant Gargan has just re-
turned from Washington, whittier he went
to learn why Rosseo went there on the
Monday before the dynamite was sent to
the pier He found that one thing
the man did was to buy some stationery
OF the kind on which the letter to Police
Commissioner Greene was written. Gar
gan found the saleswoman who sold the
paper, and from her description there is
no doubt that her customer was Mrs. Cur
rie's boarder.
Fragments Of paper picked hl.u up ocoI,nhG on the
in Chicago contained addresses Of persons
supposed to live in New York. The New
York police have looked UP number OF
these addresses and found that no such
persons live there.
mysterious stranger took second cabin
passage Just before the Umbria sailed
last Sa tuTday, under the name OF John
Delaney. and that he had come to the pier
with his luggag ge from the West Shore
station. Pier Captain Watson said last
night that the story was all rubbish and
that no such person had sailed on the
Umbria.
Frank Carton. one Of the young men
who rode on the express wagon that carried
the dynamite, received post card yes

DEAR SIR Beware us Trouble will come

He took it to the West Thirty-seventh

no reason to worry much over it. The
