LOSES FIVE WEEKS, TIME
CIGARET BOX BOMB IS
DETECTIVE BAFFLER

New York, Feb. THE most baf-
fling mystery with which the police
have had to deal in years-the MUIR
der of Miss Helen Taylor Saturday
night by the explosion Of bomb in a
cigaret box, which a messenger boy
placed in her hands at the door of her
apartment, late last night had defied a
score of Central Office detectives to
arrive at the first step toward a So
luton.
The woman unwrapped the package
and as she lifted the cover of a box an
explosion that shook the entire five
story apartment building at 103 West
Seventy-seventh street, in which she
lived, hurled her into another room,
mangled beyond recognition.
Charles NJ. Dickinson, secretary to
the chief engineer of the United States
Motor company, sat in the room when
the explosion occurred, and is held on
a technical charge of homicide.
The police learned that the young
woman had taken the name of Taylor
only about three weeks ago.
In the apartment where she met
death there were found 100 business
cards, reading:

Mich
The American Fuse company has
an Office at 80 Church street. A search
was instituted by the police in an eff
fort to locate Taylor and find out
whether he was really the husband OF
the woman or what he knew about
her.
Charles Dickinson says Taylor has
been dead year. The police do no
believe this.
Miss Edna Lamarrae, who left th'
house a few minutes before the pack
age was delivered, is held as a mater
ial witness. Nothing has been reveal
ed so far to indicate that either persoI
, knows anything of the crime.
