Man Guilty of
Chicago Bomb
Plot is Held?

Chicago. Sept. Sin the score or
more OF persons rounded up last
night an connection with the feder-
al building bomb outrage, Philip J.
Larry, acting head of the local bu-
Teau of the department of justice,
believes that he has either the cul-
prit or one who has information
which will lead to his arrest.
He is said 10 have very definite
suspicious withsregard to one of the
men, and to have obtained import
ant Information from him.
This led at first to a report that
the man was actually under arrest
and had confessed.
The streets about the federal
building were still .patrolled this
morning and it was only by the pre-
sentation of elaborate credentials
that any one could enter the build
ing to transact business. Firms
maintaining private mail boxes had
especial difficulty in getting their
messengers into the building.
Apparently Mr.. Barry had obtain
ed a description of the bomb from
some source as he described 1t in
full as IS inches long, conical in
shape, plugged at both ends; four
to six inches in diameter; made Of
steel plate from lie to 3-S of an
inch thick. and that probably 1t was
charged with dynamite or giant
IOwder.
A pathetic sequel to the death OF
Joseph b. Ladd, the jackie killed
by the explosion came to light to-
day IN the arrival OF his mother,
Mrs. L. G. Ladd Of Salina, Kan.
Mrs. Ladd, ignorant of the out
rage. stepped off the train expect
ing to meet Joseph and his brother
Herbert. Instead Herbert was alone
with the sad news. On Joseph s
BODY the following letter from his
sister was found.
Try to get time to show mother
about the big city. Make her visit
pleasant If you can. Mother. IS
looking forward to the visit with
great expectancy"
