tion Of a bomb to Capt Boardman by
John MuskenhOunt. living at Is Eighth

The supposed bomb was found in an
immigrant train, and later offered by the
finder to Patrolman MCGEE. who declined
the present with many thanks. Musken-
hount, who was standing near the Of
fcer when the offer was made. promptly
accepted the gift, but later repented Of
his rash deed and hurried to police head
quarters. where he offered 1t to the cap

The supposed bomb appears to be an

sufficient courage the bomb will be ex-
amined.
