Murder Charge
Follows Death
BY Bomb
(By United Press Leased Wire.

NEW YORK, Feb. Despite
admission by the police that they
had no evidence against him,
Charles M. Dickinson, an employe
of a motor company and formerly
of Portland, Ore, who was in the
apartment of Mrs. Helen Taylor
here when she was killed by an
internal machine, was today
charged with the murder and re-
manded to the Tombs.
The police believe that the muir
der was prompted by jealousy and
revenge and are working on this
theory.
Mrs. Taylor recently was fined
for harborlng an italian child
which had been decoyed from
Philadelphia. The children's par
ents, 1t Is alleged, were enraged
because Mrs. Taylor was not i'm
prisoned, and they threatened, 1t
is said, ito get even"
Coroner Feinberg today openly
announced that he thought the
police are mistaken in suspecting
Dickinson, believing that the bomb
was sent to the woman with the
intention OF not killing, but disfig-
uring her.
