SECOND BOMB FAILS TO
REACH JUDGE ROSALSKY
poStoffiCe Officials Find 1t in His
Mail, Wrapped and Addressed
Like the First.
DE [. NIC0LL THREATENED
$4,000 Demanded, but Lawyer
Calls In Police-Bombs Sent
to Judge and to Mrs.
Taylor Much Alike.

A second bomb sent to Judge Rosalsky
and letter threatening to send a bomb
10 Delaney Nicon have been added to
the bomb mysteries already puzzling the
rolice. Both the bomb and the letter
we're sent on Wednesday, but the police
sav that there was no connection be-
tween them.
No doubt lies in their minds that the
two bombs 10 Judge RCsalsky were sent
by the same man, and that it was he
who sent the bomb that killed Mrs
Helen Taylor on February 8, though
the construction Of the second bomb to
the Judge was different from that of the
first one.
The first bomb, the one sent to Judge
Rosalsky or March is. was ignited by
an electric battery and the spark was
caused by spring set in action by the
opening OF the package. Nitroglycerine
was the explosive in the bomb sent last
Wednesday and this was to be exploded
by a percussion cap, also to be set off
bv a spring on the opening of the pack
age. The construction of the bomb that
killed Mrs Taylor was practically iden-
tical with the first one sent to Judge
Rosalsky.
The principal points of resemblance
among the three bombs are the wrap
ping, the style of address and the mail
ing. The second bomb sent TO Judge Ro-
salsky was received at Station II, in
i02d street, near Amsterdam avenue, on
Wednesday At the request Of the judge
all packages coming to him by mail since
March 16 have been held at the post
Office for examination before delivery.
This package was particularly sus-
picious, as the clerks recognized the
wrapping paper as the same as that
which had been about the first bomb
The address was also of the same char
scter.
Internal Machine Examined.
Inspector Jacobs was sent for. and he
called i'm Deputy Police Commissioner
Dougherty. The Commissioner, with the
permission of Judge Rosalsky, turned the
package over to Inspector David l. Kelly,
of the Bureau of Combustibles, and an
examination showed that it was another
Internal machine. In this instance. how
ever, the package was opened without
accident and all the parts were preserved.
Owing. it is supposed, 10 the higher
power Of the explosive used, the second
bomb was not quite third as large as
the first one. While the first bomb
weighed forty ounces. the one sent on
Wednesday weighed only twelve ounces.
The postmarks on the first bomb showed
that il had been mailed from the Grand
Central Station and it carried four 10
cent stamps. The bomb that killed Mrs.
TAYLOR was also sent from the Grand
Central station and carried two 10-cent
stamps.
Like the other two. the bomb sent to
Judge Rosalsky on Wednesday was
mailed from the Grand Central Station,
and it carried one 1O-cent and one =
cent stamp. On all three the address
was i'm typewriting, and it was charac-
teristic Of each that the machine used
spaced nequaly. so that the letters,
particularly the "y" in the word city, did
not run closely together. In each case
the address was written on a separate
riece Of paper and pasted on the wrap
per.
