 Lifted Detecz4ve or Chaar-
 Directly above the spot where the l explosion occurred Lieutenant Edward l F. MeNal1y was seated at the desk of fhe Detective Bur eau. He was lifted szx Inches out of his seat when the bomb went off. but was not hurt E.v- cry window in the room, however, was blown to pieces, and Joseph Evans. stenographer who was copying re- extremely narrow escape A big splinter of quarter inch plate glass new over his shoulder, slit the piece of Of paper in his typewriter, and ntclxed the rubber of the pIaten roll.

Every window along that side of the building was blown to pie- ces and most of these on the opposite side of the block were also smashed The windows of The New york Times Police Headquarters office, at the northwest corner Of Grand and Cenkre streets which is directly across from the scene of the explosion. were blown almost to powder.
 The report made by the bomb was followed immediately afterward by a. second, according to some of those in the nefghborhood The general be- lief, however, is that the second eK- pIosion was only the sharp echo of the wave of sound from the building across the street, as there Is no evil dence of more than one explosion having occurred Upon the report came the chatter of failing glass; and irnmedfatefy the whole square was hIled with heavy, sdIphurous, yell 1 low smoke which c1ouded the entire neighborhood and made it impossible 1 to see even across the street for sew era1 minutes For nearly quarter i Of an hour afterward smoke and dust were pouring from every window of Police Headquarters.
