AFTER MISCREANT
Man Who Prepared the Internal
Machine for the Umbria
Was at Chicago.
MADE HIS MACHINE AT THAT CITY
Seen by Many Persons, Who Describe
the Man the Police Arc
Searching For.

Chicago, May 15.-The internal ma
chine found on the pier of the steam
ship Umbria, just before the ship
sailed from New York, was made in
Chicago. The police now have no doubt
that the deadly contrivance was con-
structed at 2S7 Washington boulevard
by u man who was known as G. Rus
sell. That Russell was in reality
ROSSeau seems to be certain, and RoS-
seau is the supposed name of the man
who made the machine and had it put
on the Cunard dock. Inspector George
McCIusky, chief of detectives of New
York, and Detective Sergeants Carey
and Funston, of that city, came to
Chicago to investigate the doings of
Russell, or Rosseau.
Trunk Was Bought at Chicago.
McCIusky left again for New York
shortly after his arrival, his associates
remaining. They were in conference
with Lieutenant ROhan for an hour.
Inspector McCusky said there was no
doubt that Russell was the man want
ed. Detectives Carey and Funston do
not believe The plot was Matched in
this city, even though the machine was
made here. The trunk which is be-
lieved to have carried the Internal ma
chine to New York was purchased by
Russell April 22 of the American Stor-
age and Van company. 246 West Madi-
son street :. +. Barr was the sales
man who disposed of the trunk and
ordered it sent to 2ST Washington
boulevard.
Known to Have Worked on Mechanism.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Ehlen occupy
the lower fat at the house on Wash
ington boulevard, and they rented a
room to Russell on April 10. He re-
manned at the place until April %,
engag ged in working on some piece OF
mechanism. which he said was a patent
gambling affair he had invented. Aft
er his departure Mrs. Ehlen found
bits of the device in the room. Among
them were parts of Il clock, the ends
of several wooden Stats, and car
fridge shell. These articles were in
box marked Zone blast" or words to
that effect. Mrs. Ehlen does not re-
member the exact inscription. She used
the box and the bits of wood for kin
ding.
