the bomb itself yesterday. Three o.
four men under the guidance of In
spector Fsurot began a study of the
Give can which held the powder. the
powder itself, the bullets found inside
the can, and the heavy wire which
bound the whole thing
Particular attention was attached
20 the wire. as it is not of an ordinary
pattern. The bullets, too. were of diff
ferent sizes, some for automatic pistols
and some for revolvers. 1t is thought
by careful canvass of the makers CT
and dealers in the various articles used
in the bomb that something may be
discovered.
Inspector Fsurot allied with him IL
beginning work on the mystery Of the
crime Captain Cray. of the First De-
tective BrancL; Acting Captain Of De-
tectives Patrick Gildea. Detective Lieu
tenant Thomas Tunney and Detective
Sergeant James Gegan. Many other
men were at work, but the ones named
took UP the chief burden. A large por-
tior Of the detective squad went to
work in the Italian quarter, as many
foreigners have been prominent IN the
" ". demonstrations.
The detectives who devoted their at
tention 10 the bomb found one difficulty
Immediately, for there were no finger
prints on the newspaper that covered
il. What finger prints might have been
obtained were obliterated when the
bomb was immersed in water.
The bomb is regarded as an almost
new variety. Most of the other bombs
il is believed were made from sec
ton of gaspipe loaded with dynamite
or other high-power explosive, such as
Arthur Caron was experimenting with
when killed, but this one had powder
for it's explosive medium.
During the day Meyer Schloss, an
attorney who was in the courtroom
when the bomb was found on Saturday,
told the police that he talked with a
very strange character
Before the magistrate took his seat
walked from the bar toward the back
Of the room. when ! noticed q man
sitting on the third bench from the
rear on the right hand side" said Mr..
Schloss. "I went out 10 the corridor
and the man followed. He was very
nervous, and ! asked him what was the
matter. This Judge has sent away the
!. w. ". people, and it's their turn
now. He will get what's coming 70
him Just at that minute Patrolman
O'Connor ran out with package IN his
"The man then cried excitedly;
That's the cop O'Connor. He's got the
bomb in MS hands The man ran out
IF the Centre ST. door and followed,
but he ran east around the corner OF
White St."
Schloss told the police that the man
was about thirty-hve years old, clean
shaven and wore a gray overcoat.
As expected, precautions of unusual
nature were taken when Magistrate
Campbell presided in the Tombs court
in the morning yesterday. When a
Tribune reporter asked him last night
if there were any suspicious charsc-
ters in the courtroom he said:
"I should think not There were too
many policemen and detectives about"
The magistrate was not afraid that a
second attempt would be made on his
life so soon, but the police authorities
have decided to guard courtrooms, and
TO admit no one who cannot give good
reason for being there. In addition,
the door leading from the hall into the
north end of Police Headquarters will
be locked to-day, so it was said last
night. A good many public places, es-
pecially where justice is administered
wi" be guarded, and extra guards will
be attached to the heads of city de-
partments.
Burdette G. Lewis, deputy Commits
sioner of Charities, said yesterday that
no representatives Of the Rand school
were present at the anarchist meeting
II September, as had been reported.
Representatives Of that school and Of
the Ferrer school both denied that any
of their members were present.
Speaking TO about FIVE hundred per-
sons who attended the regular service
of the Church of the Social Revolution,
Bouck White said:
~ believe the bomb was placed in
Magistrate Campbell's court by
anarchists who saw by the newspapers
that this church would last Friday
night and again to-day get in the pub
lie eve. Magistrate Campbell was the
centre of the protest being made by
this church, therefore some anarchist
group. of maybe two or three-for they
have no regular organization here
concocted a scheme in some rear room
or garret of doing a murderer's act in
order 10 get public attention drawn TO
the anarchists. In short, they tried to
mitch themselves 10 our wagon 10 eN-
plot our church for their own ends.
"Our fight in this matter is not with
Magistrate Campbell, but with the an
archists," he continued "The fight is
one OF pity. for we admire their ideal
ism. but condemn their methods. The
social problem would not be advanced
one inch toward human emancipation
through the death Of the magistrate.
ANY intelligent person who knows our
aims will grant US entire exculpation
Of any connection with this bomb
planning"
White predicted many more acts OF
violence, saying his church had oifere !
to join with the regular churches in
lifting the arbitrament OF the social
question into the realm of ideas and
out of the realm Of daggers and dyna-
mite" but the offer had been refused,
and now the mob in the street, which
can think only in daggers and violence,
had determined to handle it. He also
said the |. W. ". had practically gone
TO pieces in New York, because it
coupled itself too closely with the an
archistic group, excluding brain work
ers from its ranks and making a plea
only to manual workers.
