Because of pressure from inhuen-

State HAS Clues
IN DYNAMITE Case
Mysterious Wrecking of the
Home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce
Being Investigated
DROP THROUGH FLOOR
AS THOUGH BY MAGIC

State Detective Frank W. Mccoy Is
making an investigation today OF the
dynamiting OF the home OF Joel Pierce.
a well-known farmer of Brandywine
hundred, near Perry's Tavern. which
occurred about O'Clock yesterday
morning. This is one OF the most mys-
terious cases that the State has had 10
deal with for many years. That il was
not murder also is looked on as a
miracle, as Mr.. Pierce and his wife
who were asleep in bed when their
home was dynamited. both narrowly
escaped being killed
While Mr.. Mccoy stated this morn
ing that there is little 70 work on In
trying 10 solve the mystery. IL Is ru-
mored that the State authorities have
one clue that will be run down and
which may assist in clearing the mat
ter up.
Detective Mccoy visited the scene OF
the explosion yesterday and went over
the ground carefully for some time. He
stated this morning that he had seen
such sights in the movies" but never
saw anything like the wreck OF the
Pierce home in real life before. The
seven-room dwelling house is a total
wreck and some of the Outbuildings
were also damaged Some foot tracks
we're found around the house by the
persons who were first 10 arrive after
the explosion and these may prove an
important link in tracing the perpe-
traitor OF the crime. Some charred
fuse was also found near one OF the
windows and these as far as is known
are the only clues discovered.
The outrage has caused much ex-
citement In that section OF the hun
dred and many persons visited the
Pearce home yesterday to see tn,
wreck. Nearby neighbors are mucl
concerned and worried. as the entir,
affair is so mysterious that to then
IL is uncanny.
The Pierce home is near the Eight
square school house and on a publ,
road leading from the Concord turn
pike al Perry's Tavern. Mr.. and Mrs
