BOMB FROM UNDERWORLD
Continued from first page.


J little Of the rings varied activities,
| but she was thoroughly conversant with
/ its occasional activities in white
/ slavery" She had disclosed in the case
of the Leonard girl that she would turn
states evidence and she was doomed.
/ Olivette Leonard, the underlying cause
OF Mrs Walkers split with her powerful
underworld friends, came up from Balti-
more as one-half of an elopement sketch
The man in the case, young jeweller "f
Baltimore. supplied her with the funds
on which she travelled to New York. He
was 10 follow her few days latel AMI
intended marry her here. She met
Kaiserbeer on the train and got into
conversation with him.
According 10 her affidavit, he was a
man who appeared 10 be about forty
/ years Of age, and she felt safe in talking
with him on that account. She swears
! that Kaiserbeer, after taking her at first
| TO the respectable boarding house recon-
mended TO her by the young man she
was going to marry came TO call the
next day and ende by placing her in
the Walker woman's house.
! The young man from Baltimore came
10 New York about a week afterward
but could not find his girl and finally
| obtained employment here at his trade
as a ieweller. He was looked UP by the
/ police Yesterday, but established his in
nocence, and satisfied them that he
knew nothing Of the Walker woman
/ Olivette Leonard's father is an aged
and a poor man. He is still in Balti-
more and the police say they are salts
| fed that he had nothing to do with the
murder Of Mrs. Walker. This Baltimore
girl had two brothers. both much young
| er than herself, and they have likewise
/ been crossed off the list of possibilities
/ IN the case.
/ Rumors that detectives from the New
| York office had been sent TO Baltimore
Yesterday were Indignantly denied by
/ commissioner Dougherty, who insisted
/ that the police were confnng their ac-
/ tlvities TO New York City, with especial
reference TO a search OF all the electrical
supply shops in an effort TO find the
merchant who sold the materials which
went into the bomb. Dougherty, how
ever. would say nothing about the
search for Kaserbeer. which is known
10 be proceeding
owen Eagan, chief inspector Of the
Bureau OF Combustibles, examined what
fragments Of the bomb could be pieced
together yesterday, and, though unable
10 come TO a definite conclusion, thought
that il had been constructed with an
ordinary piece OF electric wire conduit
pipe. loaded with Chlorate of potash,
powder and sugar, and wrapped up in
package with an electric midget battery
wire running into the explosive in such n
way that the opening Of the package
would close the circuit and give a spark
that would blow il off.
Postnnan Delivered Package.
Practically the only forward step taken
bv the police yesterday, on their own
initiative. was the finding of the letter
carrier on the West nth street route
who recalled delivering a package which
conformed In general to the dimensions
of the package described by Dickinson
in his story OF the arrival of the package
bomb which killed Mrs. Walker.
But this letter carrier. though not en-
tireIy positive Of his dates, felt fairly
certain that he had delivered the pack
age in question on last Wednesday
afternoon and not on Saturday evening
at about g o'clock. He gets around 10
the neighborhood Of Mrs. Walkers fiat
at about o'clock on his evening deliv-
cry, but told the police that he was
pretty sure he did not deliver the pack
age to her on last Saturday evening.
The police seemed to be satisfied.
however, that the delivery Of the fatal
package had been by mail. and not as
first supposed by messenger. They found
the messenger boy who was seen around
the house directly after the murder,
and he told a story of delivering
package next door TO the Walker house,
hearing that there had been an acci-
dent, and OF asking the janitor If the
woman was dead. The police were sat
isfied that he knew nothing definite
about the case, and had been nothing
more than a casual observer Of the ex-
element around the 18th street house
after the explosion.
An examination of the piece Of wrap
ming paper in which the bomb reached
Mrs Walker revealed yesterday that II
had been mailed at Grand Central Sta
tion" and that two 1O-cent stamps were
affixed 10 il. The cancellation stamp Of
that station was discovered, but no
date and Commissioner Dougherty said
that he had established the fact that
il had come as fourth class mail, which
- not stamped with date.
The address, Mrs. Grace Taylor" was
tvpewritten, and an investigation by an
expert Of the typewriters TO which Dick
inson had access disclosed that It could
NOT have been addressed by him.
"Phil" Snyder, the taxicab chauffeur
Edna La Marie first said took her TO lhe
Walker house in 60th street IL ar
peared yesterday. knew Olivette Leon
ard. and was a frequent caller at her
rooms when she was In the Walker
house. Snyder told his story 10 the DO
lice Yesterday and was practically elmi-
ro,od fron the case thereby as IL Is nor
