to be closing in rapidly on the dyna-
miters Of the Los Angeles Times.
1T is certain that the dynamite
which we know was secured at Giant
was taken to Los Angeles, and that 1t
was the same dynamite used in the de-
struction of the Times building and in
the bombs found at the zeehandelaar
and Otis residences"
Ihis statement was made by At
torney Earl Rogers, of Los Angeles,
who is in charge of the man hunt.

taken away. A craft answering in
every particular the description given

Frank Leeman. a fisherman, says
the launch came into cove at
SSausalito the night Of September 90.
He said he could see three men about
1T at night. but no trace of Its oc-
cupants was to be observed by day.
When Leeman u turned from his
fishing the morning Of September 90
the boat was gone.
From the time the white launch
was last seen at Sausalito by Leeman
1t was not observed until about 9
o'clock Monday morning, when VIII
liam German saw what is believed to
North Sausalito. AT noon the boat had
disappeared

The Pastime was located yesterday
In the Oakland harbor bearing marks

tives made inquiries and found that

purchased the explosive at Giant. Cal.
The boat showed the effects of haru
usage On the bow were the marks of
