SURE MANIAC SENT BOMB
Dougherty Says Criminal in Ro-
saIsky Case Will Be Caught.
JUDGE GUARDED AT COURT
Differs with Friends Who Think
Explosion Was Result OF
the Brandt Case.

There was a good deal of thcorizing yes
terday by the police authorities and the
friends of Judge ROSalsky as TO the ldeh-
tity and motive of the person VINO sent
tho bomb to him at his apartment in the
Hendrick Hudson. on Saturday afternoon
hut no promising clews had been discoV-
cred according to Inspector Hughes, head
Of the Detective Bureau The police how
ever. were still at work {. the theory that
the bomb maker was a maniac, and PROB
ably the same person who sent the bomb
that killed Mrs. Helen Taylor on Febru-
airy 3.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty main
tained that the similarity between the Ro-
salsky and Taylor bombs was suihcient
TO make him belle that when the perpe-
traitor OF either bomb outrage was appre-
hended he would be easily identified as
the man wanted in both instances.
These are both mysterious cases. SAID
Commissioner DOugherty, "but they are
the work of maniac who is still a large
and endangering the lives of other citi-
zens. l wish the newspapers would print
a warning to all citizens not to open mys-
terious packages. Call in the police first
if you do not know the sender of any such
package We will land the criminal in
this Rosalsky case, but it won't be the
work of a day"
Judge Rosalsky conducted court yester-
day as usual in Part V Of General Sessions.
An extra guard, however, had been placed
at the entrance of the courtroom.
When Judge Rosalsky arrived in the
Criminal Courts Building yesterday fore
noon he looked pale and appeared nervous.
He admitted that he had slept less than
three hours the night before. He said that
while the bomb incident had been a great
shock to him he did not intend 10 let it
interfere in any way with the regular pro-
cedure Of his court work
Some Of the judges closest friends on
the East Side where he was born and
brought up, have been with him or near at
hand almost continually since the eX-
plosion on Saturday afternoon. Moe A.
Isaacs clothing merchant of No. Great
Jones street. called at the Criminal Courts
at the close of court yesterday and took
the judge up to the Hendrix Hudson in his
automobile
Judge RosllsKy repudated the theories
that the man who sent him the bomb was
crank or a member of the so-called Yid-
AlSIl NdllOIlds d DdIil VI IldoN 'o4hN 'A'pi
TONERS ana horse poisoners. He was sure
il had not been the work of Italians or
any one connected with the Black Hand.
He said he had received many threatening
letters during the last few months, but
most Of them had apparently come from
persons prompted from reading the sensa-
tional side of the Brandt case. None Of
these letters was written in the tone Of the
Black Hand, demanding money, and he had
paid no attention to them. In fact his
secretary had destroyed many Of the letters
without showing them TO him.
The judge believes that the sender of the
bomb was a man with a motive-some
criminal. perhaps. whom he had sentenced
to a term in prison. 1t was the opinion of
some Of his friends that the scandal and
developments in the Brandt case were in
some way responsible for the bomb epl-
sode Judge Rosalsky said he did not think
SO.
