Chicago newspapers had anticipated ms

Third-The inspector did not expect 10

Rosseau is the only man connected with
the attempt 20 blow up the Umbria. NO

Rosseau probably belonged In Chlcago-

Referring to the many rumors regarding

there was nothing TO them.
'There is nothing in the story that KOS

not one OF the men who stopped there. 4
