 That the plans were baked in the nick of time, was shown by the dis- covery of three bombs, which were placed in such a manner that had they been exploded they would have completely wrecked that beautiful edficc.
 The plot was discovered when the authorities became suspicious of :he presence of a sight seeing party who were passing through the grounds.
 These people numbering about q dozen scattered shortly after enter ing the grounds and this action was noted by an officer inside the en- trance of the building.
