way and First street, was wrecked by

used. it was aseertained later.
The effect of the explosion was fright
full. One whole wall of the building
collapsed. Floors gave way and
crashed TO the cellar. Flames arose
from the lower part and spread swift
". The flremen and the police took
twcnty-one bodies out of the wreckage
Some had been killed instantly by the
explosion. Others, caught by the sweep
of fame, were burned to death. A
number OF the dead were union men.
Many of them were married and had
children.
Later In the morning a bomb was
found In the home Of General Harri-
0 Gray Otis, president and editor of
the Times and an uncompromising OPP
ponent OF the closed shop. This bomb
let go in the street just after detectives
who had been examining it were fright
ened away by the rattle of its mechan-
ism. The tragedy of the early morning,
together with the discovery of the
bomb in General Otis house and an
other bomb near the house OF the sec
rotary OF the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, thoroughly alarmed
the city.
The city council appropriated $685. 600
for the purpose of tracing the dynamit-
ers and murderers and offered a re-
ward Of $500 for the arrest of any
one responsible. The California legis-
lature added $4,000 and the State

AS a matter of fact, Burns had been
busy on dynamiting cases before the
Los Angeles Times building was de-
stroyed. In September, 1910, d foun-
dry in Peoria, sticking by the open
shop principle, had been blown up, and
Burns was put on the job to catch the
criminal. The investigation OF this
crime led by a curious and interesting
series Of steps to the arrest of the Nc

containing a ten pound can OF nitro
