Newsom, arrested here as vagrant
this afternoon. told Chief Of Detectives
Crawford that he sent the Internal

found has resulted in recovery Of some
Of the stolen goods.

of Folke e. Brandt, whom Judge Ro-
salsky sentenced to thirty years in a
New York prison and whose case re-
Gently has attracted attention. He
says the package containing the in
:ernal machine was handed to him by
a person whose identity he refuses to
divulge and that it already was ad-
dressed when he received it. He says
that he mailed it from Brunswick, Ga.
Newsom also is known by the name
of Fred Pince.
Newsom claims he mailed the bomb
to New York from one of the small
towns near Jacksonville and says that
II the detectives make an investiga-
ton they will find the records show
the package containing the Internal
machine was mailed to Judge Rosalski
as he says. The man claims to have
been an old friend of Folke E. Brandt.
After Brandt's arrest Newsom came
to Jacksonville and has been around
the city for some time, according to
his statement
The package was mailed, he said,
at Fernandina, Fla.
