ONE SUSPECT HELD
FOR BOMB EXPLOSION
Outrage Is Being Traced to

In Milwaukee

night IS bomb explosion, one is held as
a suspect and it was declared infor-
nation has been obtained as to the
making of the bomb.
Eleven persons were killed and two
injured by bomb-a device timed by
acid, which ate through the casing grad
ually, releasing the explosive.
The department of justice is cooper
ating with the police.
Every agency agrees the bomb was
intended for the little east side Ital-
ian church presided over by Father
Guiliani, who has aided the police to
block black hand and anarchist plots
for several years. Father Guilani- has
gone into seclusion and may not even
appear at the trial of the Bayview an
on Wednesday. A number of
persons who participated in the riots
III the suburb September 9, in which
two detectives were shot, are in jail.
There is some difference of opinion
as to the time the bomb was taken
from the church to the station. Appar
entity the bomb had been in the sta
tion only few minutes before the ex
plOsion. Lieutenant Flood, however,
said it was three two hours before.
Joseph Berencki, Italian detective of
Chicago and Sergeant M. Mills, bomb
expert of that city, are aiding the To-

tails of the explosion.
