CcpeciaI from United Press.3


 New York, Feb. 6-Jealousy or re- venge were the two theories a score of detectives under the personal di- rection of Inspector Hughes and Dep uty Commissioner Dougherty were working On, today, to solve the mur- der of Mrs. Helen Taylor, blown to pleceS by a bomb, Saturday night. I he case presents one of the most re- markaUle mysteries here since the Gulldensuppe affair. The police have only a typewritten address, pieces of the bomb and the dead woman's rec ord as clues.
 The woman was fined, some time ago, for harboring a child who had sylvania oil fields. Relatives of the girl who was an Italian. found fault because the woman was not sent to prison and are alleged to have threat ened to get even The girl has been equest tioned by the police but insis sed she knew nothing about the killing.
 Charles M. Dickinson, who says he was in the room when the bomb ex- ploded. was held without bail. Coron- CT Feinburg, who began the inquiry, today. insisted that the police were mistaken in thinking Dickinson, who is a Stenographer employed by the United States Motor Co. knew any thing about the crime. He said that he believed the bomb was sent the woman not to kill but to disfigure her ana that the makers, by mistake, made it too powerful.
 DeJecIlN6S compared the typewriter Dickinson used at his office with the address on the bomb but refused to say whether this developed anything.
 Dickinson was taken before Coroner Felnberg, yesterday, to tell his story of the bomb explosion. As he was led into the building, handcuffed to de- tectives, his aged father, who had hurried here from his home in north ern New York to aid him, threw his arms around his neck.
 Charlie, my son, did you do this II, 1r1vN~r
 T certainly did not. father. I am innocent was the reply as the young man was hurried into the courtroom.
 Because the police wanted further time to investigate and Dickinson, ar rested on suspicion, wanted to consult an attorney, Coroner Feinberg, today, adjourned until Wednesday,, the in quest. The police admitted they had no actual evidence against any one. although Captain A T. Gloucester, of der charge which was placed against Dickinson and he was sent to the Tombs without bail.
 T he police, this afternoon, sent out a general alarm for Bill or Phil Shy der who was to have married the girl Olivette Leonard, for harboring fined. The police want to question Snyder regarding any knowledge he may have of Mrs. Taylor. The Leon ard girl is now an inmate of the MagdelIan Home. in this city.
 New York, Feb. 6-When the cor oner's inquest is resumed. tomorrow. the hom' eide charges against Charles M Dickinson will probably be dis missed and the police forced to begin anew efforts to solve the mystery surrounding the dee tn of Mrs. Helen Tayolr, who was killed by the explo- sion of an internal machine.
 There are so many persons who might have had a motive for killing the woman that the belief grew, to- day that the real sender of the bomb would never be convicted.
