LOOKING FOR NEW
LAWYER TO-DAY IN
OVERLOOK CASE
FreehoIders Decide County
Counsel Mum SElaF :
Figure if DR.. Dill Sues.

County Counsel Joseph Mum will not
represent the Board of Freeholders
should DR.. Daniel M. Dill, deposed
medical director of the Overlook Hos
pital for the Insane. bring action for
reinstatement. The Board of Free
holders when 1t met last night au-
thorized Director Ougheltree to employ
special counsel in the Dill matter. The
a given for the county counsefs
removal from the case was that he had
shown no interest and had taken no
action when charges were first brought
against DR.. Dill some five months ago.
Further, to clear UP matters at the
Overlook institution, the director was
instructed to prefer charges against
Drs. Robert Bolton and Henry McCor-
mick. assistant physicians at the hos
pital.
Director Ougheltree has compiled the
charges he will bring against the two
physicians and they were read to the
members of the board last night. The
testimony OF DR.. John O.. Castor. who
introduced evidence against Drs. Bolton
and Mccormick at the first inquiry into
the methods of running the Overlook
hospital, has been rejected as "unre-
liable" and does not enter into future
accusations to be made against the two
physicians.
Other facts brought out by h testi-
mony of the doctors themselves ana
learned from other sources Will DC used
against them. Among other Things OF
which they are accused IL defiance OF
the Board of Freeholders In refusing to
resign when requested SO to do on May
l last. Chief among the accusations
against Dr.. Bolton is his alleged fai-
ure to notify the relatives OF Mrs, Mary
Ann Bauer Of her death at the hospital.
The body of Mrs. Bauer was buried
In potter's field and a month after,
when her relatives ~enquired as to her
health, they were informed that she

One of the charges against DIR. Nc
Cormick is that he informed h family
Of q young girl patient OF the hospital
that she had died at the place. where

Ills connection with the case of Clara

to a child at the hospital and whose
self-confessed seducer was allowed to
leave the institution. will also be
brought against DIR. Mccormick.

STORE WRECKED;
100 IN PANIC At
BOMB EXPLOSION
PlOtters Waited Until Proprietor
Was Asleep, Then Made .
Attempt to Kill.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Destruction
of Guiseppi Digiacomo's confection
store at 2S2 Elizabeth street was effect
ed early today with a bomb that ex-
ploded with such terrific force that it
tossed the confectioner and his daugh-
ter out of their beds amid an avalanche
Of flying glass. s~plinters and pieces Of
the ceiling. and caused $50 tenants In
the six-story building to rush. panic
stricken, In their night clothes to the
street.
Digiacomo and his daughter had to
make their way over the ruins of the
store, and their feet were cut in tread
Ing on the shattered plate-glass win
dows of the store and on splinters and
nails. Digiacomo's right foot was
burned by stepping on a piece of the
bomb. He suffered greatly from shock
and had to be attended by an ambu-
lance surgeon.
The police are convinced from the
circumstances of the explosion that
enemies of Digiacomo made an at
tempt to kill him. He slept in the rear
of his store last night for the first
time In several weeks. Occasionally,
when he was detained late, he would
stop there. His enemies evidently knew
this and waited until he was in the
place before firing the bomb.
Several other tenants feet were cut
by broken glass and splinters. The ex-
plosion occurred in a ne~ighborhood
where Black Hand bomb outrages have
been numerous, and they fed at the
first sign of trouble. The reserves from
the Mulberry street station got them
to return to their apartments only after
much persuasion.
