Charles Dickinson, now Under Ar

SPENT HOURS in HIS ROOM
Prisoner Locked Self in Apartment
During Most Of Day Before
Bomb was Delivered

New York, Feb. 5.-The inyesti-
CATION today, into the mysterious
murder of Mrs. Helen Taylor by the
explosion of a bomb In her apart
ment last Saturday night, brought
out some alleged facts that the police
regard as significant in connection
with the recent movements OF
Charles M. Dickinson, who was with
the woman when the explosion oc-
Cured.
A few days before the murder
Dickinson and Mrs. Taylor had a
quarrel, the police say, In which the
woman scratched Dickinson's face, 4
letter, signed by Dickinson, found
amon~ the dead woman's effects, the
police say, begged that "he be taken
back"
Answer in His Pocket.
In Di1kinson's pockets the police
declare, they found what apparently
was the answer to his letter, which
read "If you know what is good for
you, you will stay away from my
fiat"
On the day before the murder
Dickinson spent many hours locked
in his room and detectives now are
investigating on the theory that th6
bomb was manufactured there.
Dickinson was arraigned before
the coroner today and there met his
aged father, postmaster at Cham
plain, N. Y,
Meets Aged Father.
The elder Dickinson obtained
permission to have the hearing put
over until Wednesday.
Il am innocent of this, father, .
Dickinson told the old man"
81 believe you, my boy" he re-
piled.
Much conflicting evidence con-
cerning the matrimonial history Of
the Taylor woman had been obtain
ed by the police, buttefforts to find
the messenger, who delivered the
bomb to her, have proven futile.
