The police inferred that the address on
the second bomb was typewriter and

of the first one IT was said there was n
striking similarity I'm this respect between
the Rosalsky bombs and the bomb sent to
the Walker woman several weeks ago

therefore does not concern me alone, and
for that reason it's solution should be all

embarrassing interference or suggestions

A high police official denied last night
that the department had any record Of the
third bomD which was said TO have been
lent 10 Judge Rosalsky. The same official
also said that the report that the second
bomb was harmless and a Joke was uE-
