tempting to Blow Up Hotel, Al
though. Legally Dead.

New York, Feb. S.-Although legally
dead, Otto Adams will have to stand
trial on a charge of attempting to blow
up with a bomb a hotel in East New
York. The crime, on the charge of

is charged that two years ago Adams
attempted to compel Mrs. Hattie Brow
er to consent to the sale of a piece of
real estate in which they were joint
owners. She refused and a day or two
later received an Internal machine by
mail Another Internal machine was re-
ceiVed by Harry Carsten, who is said
to have advised her not to sell the prop
erty short time later a third bomb
was found in the hallway of the hotel.

bcr was arrested on charge of being
responsible for the three bombs. He
was released on $4,000 bail, and disap-
peared. Later, the body of a man was
found hanging to a tree. Ii was imme-
diately identified as that of Adams. and
under that name was passed on by the
coroner. The police now say that
Adams went to California, where his
wife left him because of his alleged
cruelty. She returned east and yester-
day she made d plan to meet him in
Jersey City, after telling the police that
he had returned. When he arrived to
meet his wife, he was arrested. The

through one day of it.
The jury found against the attorney
