BOMB PLOTTERS
TWICE FOILED
Timely Discoveries in Harlem
Prevent Two Explosions in
Tenement Houses.

A bomb. with burning fuse, was
found yesterday in the hallway OF an
apartment house at 1853 West 123d ST..
Inspector owen Eagan said it would
have blown out the lower floor Of the
building and probably damaged St..
Paul's Evangelical Church, which ad-
joins.
Revenge sought by discharged en-
ploye, tenants said, inspired the plac-
ing Of the bomb.
Stanley Usherwood, who lives in the
building, smelled smoke, and found a
package, wrapped in paper, under the
stairway. After stamping out the fuse
he carried the parcel TO the West 123d
ST. station.
The bomb consisted Of two cans, one
fitted inside the other II contained
gunpowder. seventy-fve bullets and a
large quantity Of buckshot. The bomb,
said Inspector Eagan, was similar IN
construction 10 that found IN the
Tombs court several months ago, but
was more powerful.
John Plesca, contractor living at
pa East 1O7th St, woke up last night
and wanted a smoke. He was out OF
tobacco and started for some. Just
outside his door he stepped on a small
package II gave beneath his foot and
he kicked il away, thinking II ba-
mana Then he noticed a charred bit
Of fuse sticking from II.

said later IL was a "glycerine bomb,
made of gunpowder and nitro-glyce-
rine. If the fuse had not burned out
j. would have wrecked at least two
floors Of the five story tenement, Eagan
SAID.
Plesca was so busy seeing policemen
the rest Of the night that he forgot
all about his smoke. lie has received
several threatening letters.
