died in the Fordham Hospital of in

bomb on which he was working eX

bomb which killed Helen Taylor and
Mrs Madeline Herrera, on February
3, 1912, and also the one which was
delivered to Judge Rosalskys apart
ment on March 16, 1912.
Klotz was taken to the hospital
internally by fragments of a bomb of
his own manufacture. 1t was found
necessary to operate in order to clear
his lungs, which were frightfully man
gled by the explosion. Although he
knew that there was no chance of his
recovery the man stolidly refused to
confess to the crimes of which he was
suspected until few minutes before
his death.
Then he told the police that he had
mailed the bomb which Judge Rosal-
sky escaped only through his caution
in having it examined by the fire de
partment. A few moments later
Klotz confessed to sending the other
bomb
