RENTED SMALL COTTAGE
The young Greek dynamiters, with
Felix Pauduveris, rented a cottage at
Cartown in the beach district on June
II and kept il for a month. 1t was
within 2 short distance OF the home
Of Mrs Gum, where Older often went
with his wife for evening dinner, and
The plan was TO place Is pounds of dy-
Mantle under the little dwelling and
blow il and its occupants off the face
Of the earth. Older was warned that
an effort might be made on his life at
he beach, and q guard constantly
watched Mrs Gums place while he
was within. The presence Of this guard
caused the plan Of the dynamiters to
be given up. and the house in which
they had lived was not rerented after
the first month.
Many residents OF the beach district
remember the presence of John and
Peter Ciaudianes and Felix Pauduveris
at the beach. They remained in the
house much Of the time by day, but
were seldom If ever in the building at
night, sleeping somewhere in the city.
Their plan. according 10 Peters confes-
sion. was to throw suspicion of them
selves by becoming residents of the
neiEhborhood in which they intended
70 commit their crime
