members are said never to have been
out of sight of a detective. All this
time the men were being sought by
regular police in the cities in which
they were operating, but never once,
despite the omnipresence of posters
describing their appearance accurate

A few weeks before the Tines
building was destroyed an attempt
was made to blow up a bridge at
Peoria, I'll. This was in the latter
part of September, 1910. An error
had been made in the adjustment Of
the machine and it failed to explode.

Going back to the Peoria plot, he

A connection was soon established
between MECHANICAL and the McNa-
