COURT IN PERIL
Supposed Burglars Lubri-
can't Exhibited at Carl
stad Thieves Trial
Was Nitro
Glycerine.

For several hours yesterday Judge
Biaift the court officers. lawyers and
spectators who crowded the little court
room during the trial of the Carlstadt
post Office robbers were subjected to
grave danger that but three persons in
the room knew Of. and those three did
not; dare to say a word because they
were the prisoners on trial, and to have
divtlged tie secret would perhaps have
lent weight to the already strong case
against them and destroyed whatever lit
tie chance they had of escaping con
yiction.
Among the articles taken from the trio
at the time of their arrest in this city
were two yials .one of which contained
nitro-glycerine and the other an unknown
liquid, supposed to be lubricant used
BY the burglars for their tools. Prose
cutor Speer had tried to have this an
alysed before the trial, ut could find no
chemist willing to undertake the job. He
concluded from the appearance of the
liquid that it was lubricant and re-
ferled to it as such all during the trial.
The contents of the innocent-looking
vial appeared to the ordinary observer
to be nothing more than water and it
was handled carelessly by counsel during
the proaress of the trial. On these oc-
casions the prisoner known as George
Smith, who is believed to be the leader
Of the gang, watched the bottle narrowly
Finally, when the jury retired to de-
liberate on the verdict, the little VIAL
with the alleged burglarious tools found
on them, was sent to the jury room.
1t was then that the first warning of
the dangerous character pf the liquid was
impaired The prisoner Smith called
Constable John O'Brien and told him
that the stuff in the bottle. was nitro-giy-
cerine of highly explosive character
and readily affected by the cold.
This news was impaired to Prosecutor
Speer, who at once dispatched Detec-
tive John Graham to get rid of the stuff.
Graham took it to the Hackensack mea-
dows and carefully emptied the bottle.
Itafterwards transpired that there was
a sufficient quantity of the dangerous ex-
plosive to have blown the roof off the
courthouse, and that it had began to
cloud in manner which suggested to
Smith the danger that might follow if the
stuff Swas not disposed of speedily.
But few in the courtroom knew Of the
danger to which all had been subjected
to for many hours, and it is conceded
that an awful calamity might have oc-
Cured but for the prisoners Warming
