were on an upper floor when the deto-
nation was made, were severely

No probable cause was advanced by
Governor Cooke, but police officials

the work of a disgrdntled inmate Of
the home.
Governor Cooke said he had no enc
mics who would be likely to make
such an effort.
Detectives from LeaYenworth are
working on the case and have blood
hounds on a trail found beneath the
window where the bomb was placed.

dynamite were placed on the sill OF
the library window and exploded by
a fuse. The home grounds are pick.
eted by guards and several arrests
have been made Of suspicious charac
tiers. The library in the Cooke resi-
denee is on the north side in the cen
