While Deputy Police Commissioner
Dougherty and Captain Price were not
so certain yesterday that Farrell was
responsible for all three bomb mys-
teries, Dougherty early in the afternoon
said he had never been quite positive
df the guilt Of Farrell. Captain Price,
however, said he needed more time 10

expressing an opinion. There are GER
tain things which have developed since
the explosion on Friday night" he said,
(which lead to the belief that Klotz
may be a crank who has read much
concerning the other bombs and was
endeavoring to make one of similar
kind. For the present I will not the
orize on the Klotz affair until he has
partially recovered from his injuries
and can talk Tor nlmSeH.
Not Known by Maxim.
Al the Klotz home yesterday after
noon a sister Of the injured man. who
is a school teacher, said her brother
was interested In the handling OF ex-
plosives, but there was nothing un-
usual in that. She accounted for the
collection Of firearms as fad of her
broHerA She said he often took his
powders and tried them out in the
country.
Hiram Maxim yesterday denied know
ing young Koltz. The inventor had
never seen or had any communication
with the Bronx Borough employe, SO
far as he could recollect.
At Borough Hall in The Bronx ac-
quaintances of Koltz were surprised TO
earn Of his interest in explosives.
None of them could recall that he ever
talked to them about such mixtures.
A number Of letters found in Koltz's
room are to be examined by the police,
as we'll as the typewriting Of the labels
on the walls in which were the cheml-
calls. The labels will be compared with
he remaining scraps of paper on which
was written the address of Grace Wal
ser and also on the wrapper of the
bomb sent to Judge Rosalsky. The
handwriting will be compared to the
letters written to the judge some time
after he received the bomb, in which
clemency was asked for prisoners who
came before him for sentence.
