Mistake.

OAKLAND. Cal. Jan. 14-Detectives
from Oakland police headquarters in con-
junction with those OF the Southern Pa
ciflc, were trying today TO solve the mys-
terry OF the explosion on the ferry boat
Berkeley last night, which Killed john
C. Norbom, a mining engineer. and in
jured 1--WE other passengers, one OF whom.
Edwin Hoffscnelder will die.
While the detectives were working on
the theory that an explosive carried by
Ncrbom caused the tragedy. Mrs. Nor
BON, widow OF the dead man, insists that
he was the victim OF an assassin, who
mistook him for someone else,
She bases this theory on the fact that
three years ago. while in Europe. he was
constantly shadowed and that only a few
days ago he told her Of a presentiment
that ne was being hunted down in mis-
take for another man. Members OF the
family say that Norbom was always
afraid OF explosives and would never
carry them.
So far as the investigation has pro-
sresscd nothing has been discovered to
Indicate that Norbom had any reason TO
commit suicide. His financial affairs are
in good shape and his home life was
perfect.
