ter the explosion, the building was so
strained that it may have to be al
most completely rebuilt.
The bomb which caused the damage
had its counterpart in a second one
which was placed in another part of
the house. but which for some reason
hung fire The bombs consisted of or
binary seven-pOund cans of powder.
The method adopted for exploding
them was the lighting of a candle set
in kerosene soaked shavings. II Is
thought that the second candle did
not explode because it's light was blown
ont by the force of the first explosion
when it, had burned within half an
inch Of the shavings.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst has been
arrested for the outrage and will be
tried next month.

SLAYER Of POLICEMAN
CAPTURED IN CHICAGO
Robert Webb, Automobile Ban
dit, CIasSed as ResourCefuI
and Dangerous Criminal.

CHICAGO, February 15.-Robert Webb,
automobile bandit and slayer of Police
man Peter Hart, has been captured here.
The capture was made after revolver
battle and desperate hand-to-hand
struggle. in which the highwayman was
dubbed into submission by half dozen
policemen.
Webb apparently had been hiding near
his old haunts on the South Side since he
killed Hart when the policeman tried to
arrest him several weeks ago. Out Of
funds, he telephoned to woman friend
for money. An alert telephone central
operator caught the message and notified
the police.
Hoped to Leave City.
Webb told the woman to bring $500 to
certain street corner, SO he could leave
the city. A hundred officers were soon
scattered around the neighborhood, and
a few minutes before the appointed hour
Webb was seen walking toward the rem
devious.
Two detectives started after him. Webb
saw the officers and ran into a building
and out the back way. He was seen by
other police. and the waiting officers took
up the chase. Many shots were ex-
changed
Webb was overtaken at last by Police
man Patrick Courtney, and with the aid
of other officers the bandit was taken to
Accuses Another Me-.
Webb declared he was in ST. Louis
when Hart was killed. He accuses Michael
Casella, proprietor of the house where
Hart found Webb. with doing the shoot
ing. Capt. Patrick LAWN. who has been
searching for Webb ever since Hart was
killed, said that Webb had been in Mo-
bile, Ala, for ten days since the shoot
ing.
The bandit is regarded as one of the
most resourceful and dangerous GRIM
inals ever captured in Chicago.
