The discovery of the bomb was dra-
matte and proved one more brave man
OIL the police force in the person OF
Patrolman O'Connor. He was sitting
on the third bench from the rear 81
the room when he saw smoke just IN
front of him. Magistrate Campbell
was just coming into the courtroom
through an entrance twenty-five feet
away with his wife, General Edward
Hines, of New Jersey; Mrs. Hines and
DR.. Z. L. Rounds, all personal friends
O'Ccnnor leaned over, picked up a
newspaper package from which the
smoke was arising and dashed out OF
the courtroom, bowling over Assistant
District Attorney Stiles and two other
men. The gallant patrolman ran al
full speed into the hall and down the
Centre ST. steps and flung the package
into the street, at the same time yell
ing TO passersby and vehicles TO hurry
FOR safety. The brave fellow had al
ready snuffed out the burning fuse
with his fingers.
An old Italian woman came by anC
would not stop, despite O'Connor''
wells. He picked her up bodily ant
carried her half a block. A man hat
dashed a bucket of water over tbs
bomb. but O'Connor took no chance;
and sank the bomb in another bucke'
of water, where it remained until In
spector owen Eagan, OF the Bureau Of
/ Combustibles, appeared and toQi

at is such men as you that bring
credit TO the Police Department. II

and then he said to Antonio Mollizzl,
pedler that O'Connor had brought e
court for obstructing the streets: II
was fortunate thing you brought TINS
brave policeman TO court. / congratu'
I late YOU upon being the occasion OF
saving my life and possibly those Of
others. | know you will be pleased tc
nav the fine of 50 impose upon you
/ The pedler didn't have the 50 and hao

Praise for Patrolman.
