RossEo HAD DoLPH JANsENs ROOM
Mrs. Currie's boarding house is re-
spectacle place and has an excellent repu-
tation in the neighborhood. The house Is
noted in the vicinity as the former fortress
of AL Adams the policy king, and great
excitement prevailed on the block wo
wears ago when Frank Moss, Capt, Goddard
and a score of detectives beat their way into
the place with axes and cleaned it out
Adams owned the property until qH, ra
Currie opened her boarding house there last
October, and most Of her boarders are
theatrical mechanics and chorus women
and men. The room Rosseo occupied is
the room that was formerly the private
office of Dolph Jansen, the manager OF the
Adams policy interests.
WOMAN WHO CAN KEEP A SECRET,
There was considerable excitement
around the house yesterday afternoon when
photographers began to take pictures OF the
place, and reporters by squads went up
and down the steps. Everybody was
mystfied, and no one more 30 than the
boarders in the house.
Mrs. Currie Ia about the best ally the
police have had on big case in a long while.
She told never soul in her house about the
man and the box, even after the police
had showed her that he was undoubtedly
the man who sent the Internal machine 70
the pier. and the boarders got their first
information about it yesterday from re-
Mrs. Currie told all reporters yesterday
that she was going to protect her missing
lodger up to the time that his week runs
out and that after that she would give all
the information in her possession.
Hes paid until next Thursday, che said,
sand | won't talk about him until then.
He gave me no notice that he wasn't coming
back and he's left his clothing here 80 he
may come back at any time.
From the statements OF Mrs. Currie 1t
seems likely that Rosseo brought the box
to her house inside of his trunk. Between
the time that his trunk ca me to the house
and the time when he left to get an e1-
prsssman, he did not go out at az. 40 that
everything in the internal machine must
have been in the trunk when 1t arrived.
1t looks as il the man hired the room
for the single purpose Of shipping his bomb
to the pier from It. The letter Mrs. Currie
saw him writing with pencil in his room
letter that was afterwayd received by Gen.
Greene, warning the police OF the presence
of an internal machine on the Cunard pier.
Having written this letter the mans work.
30 far as Mrs. Curre's house was concerned,
was done, and he disappeared -, co.o,,,
Post Office at II O'Clock Saturday morning.
The police do not attach much signif-
canoe to the fact that the man left his trunk
and his clothing In the room. They say
that he was too clever not to know that
sooner or later the box would be traced back
to Mrs Curries boarding house, and that
il he had his things taken away from there
they too could be quite as easily traced .
The easiest way to obliterate himself was
to walk out, leaving his things behind him.
Detectives spent last night in Mrs. Currie's
house on the chance that Rosseo might
come back Once In the evening there
was some excitement. 1t was caused by
the sudden appearance OF Battle, the ex-
pressman, with demand that Mrs. Currie
40 that he could begin a suit against him
for damages. He did not get the name.
surprising thing, in view Of the reveia-
tons Of yesterday, is that the men who de-
uVere0 the Internal maCnlne At tne pier
were not found at once. The wagon they
drove to the pier on Is large wagon with
black canvas top, and across the canvas
in large letters is printed: Furniture Re-
moved" On the side of the wagon, in con-
spicuous letters, Is this inscription:
-Rooney's Transfer, $50 Ninth avenue"
CAN'T FIND TO WHOM BATTERY WAS SHIPPED.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May l2,-One Of the
dry-cell batteries In the Internal machine
was found to have been manufactured at
the National Carbon Works here, and the
shipping date is Jan. q 1908. A search
through the ocmpanys shipping records
was made by Mr.. Cotobish sales agent,
to-day and failed to find any consignment
OF goods shipped on that date. His search
included a few days before and few days
after that date. According to the clerk.
that standby" cell might have been taken
from an automobile. The cells are used
In horseless carriages.
Detective Hughes OF New York, who
arrived to-day found several consign-
ments OF goods which were sent during
January to Eastern dealers, and has COM
municated these data to Headquarters at
New York. The persons to whom the
goods were consigned will be visited by the
New York police.
STAGE STARRING WAS REAL.
