his room at the Saratoga resulted in
the discovery of an old overcoat and
some other rough clothes, also some
fish lines similar to the pieces found at
the scene of the explosion, supposed to
be part of the string with which the
trigger of the internal machine was
pulled. Further, in his grip was a lot
of white powder believed to be a high
explosive. There was also something
that looked like brown wrapping paper,
but it would not burn. The contents Of
