assistant secretary, was hurt. and lie

the hand when he smothered the burn
ing fuse which greeted him when he
opened the box containing the machine.
Secret Service men were promptly
notified Of the affair and the machine
was turned over to them for examina-
ton. When they had finished they re-
ported that I e machine contained six
pounds Of highly explosive dynamite,
powerful enough TO have destroyed the
