charge of the case with headquarters at
the West i25th street station, said that
he believed the same person had ma de
and sent the bomb to Rosalsky who had
made and sent the bomb TO Grace Walker.
The Deputy Commissioner In OF the
opinion that the person who sent both
bombs believes he has a mission. to right
the wrongs OF the world and that ne has

koealsky to look at the bomb while he

explained the bomb and its working In
this way: "The bomb proper was a gas
pipe shaped like the letter u. he said
Between the wings were two small dry
batteries. A spring which was intended
to be released by raising the cover wa
supposed to make the electrical connec.
ton. That it failed to do 40 might bs
attributed 10 grimy connection, Wher
Eagan cut the pasteboard with his knife

of the bomb"

The knife blade coming in contact with
the bomb never exploded it, he said
1T was q timed bomb and just hsppened
to explode while l WAS there. l hav'
