 The bomb which was of scientific construction and evidently with a time fuse attached was found in the base ment of the church this afternoon. Po- lice headquarters were called and De- tective Mckinney was sent to get the bomb. On his way he met an Italian named Muzuinni who was taking the bomb to headquarters Mckinney ac- companied him back to the station.
 While Muzuinni was being taken in 10 the office of Lieutenant Flood for questioning Desk Sergeant Henry Deckart took the bomb into the pa trolmen's room.
 Meanwhile detectives were answer ing roll call on the second floor and ust before dismissal, they were in formed that the bomb had been found. On going downstairs. they grouped about the missile. Without warning, if exploded, killing seven of the number instantly.
 The dead and injured were scat tered all over the squad room. Seated at either side of Edward Spindler on the second floor were Arthur Van Peterson and Otto Gerlach. Neither was injured beyond the shock of the explosion
 Lieutenant Flood in his office across the hall from the squad room was thrown from his chair but only stunned. Mazuinni was absolved of all blame by the police. The woman killed was Catherine Walker, who went to the station to report a rob- bery.
 The detonation of the explosion brought thousands of persons to the scene. Women fought for entrance 10 the building and tainted while struggling with patrolmen on guard.
 The body of the woman was found in position indicating that had the explosion been deferred a few seconds she would have escaped as she was evidently passing out of the main entrance. She was frightfully mangled
 Detective Burns was the only de- tective who entered the squad room who came out alive. After inspec- tion of the bomb he went to Lieu tenant Floods room to suggest that the bomb be placed in a pail of water. Many of the central officers passed on out of the station to take mp their respective assignments. They had not heard of the presence of the bomb and that fact probably saved many lives.
 The damage to the central station will not exceed $1,00O The effect o1 the bomb was concentrated on tho detective detail quarters. It is the belief of the police the bomb wa. placed in the Evangelical church by anarchists friendly to the Italian. recently arrested for breaking, up patriotic meeting held by a mission. hfy from the church.
