ANARCHIST TAKEN
WITH BOMB PLANS


MS machine shop. The latter was found
to be public school.
In East Seventeenth street, however,
the police found that the man had no
FAMILY there. but had been living alone
Tor some months. In addition to the
drawings the police found a small drug
gist's box labelled potassium perman-
ganate and containing a half dozen pa
pers, In each of which was about three
grains Of purple crystals. While this
might have been purchased for a medici-
nal wash, the crystals, 1t was stated at
the office of owen -Egan, the Fire De-
partment bomb expert, are n powerful
oxidizing agent. and might have been of
use in the formulation Of explosives or
OF the apparatus by which they could be
set off.
The police found also receipt show
ing that Krevltz had bought his pistol In
the pawnshop of Lester Rice & Co.. -
Newark avenue, Jersey City. on June 26.
The receipt, for SIS. was found In the
pistols box. with instructions for it's use
and with an envelope addressed to Kre-
>vitz from a fraternal' organization Of
which the police knew nothing yester-
day, but which they are tracing down.
There was also box Of cartridges, one
Of whi;h had been exploded. indicating
that Krevitz had already tried his gun.
The purchase of the pistol in Jersey
City IL one OF the well known methods
of evading the New York State anti-gun
law. The fact that Krevitz had taken
and carefully preserved receipt for this
purchase was taken as possible indica-
ton that he expected to make an ac-
count lg to some person or organization
for his expenses.
Drawing Like Mail Bomb Tubes.
The drawing which corresponded to
the mail bomb tubes was sketchy. but
quite plain, and showed in the dimension
figures which Krevitz had put in an al
most exact correspondence The outer
diameter was two inches near one end
were the indications for the following
out and shouldering Of the top. and at
this point were two small marks which
mh~t have indicated the place for the
tiny metal Tugs which in the mail bombs
broke the bottle of acid which exploded
the charge.
The other drawing showed four
toothed wheels actuated by a handspring
| and apparently governed by balance
or set spring This drawing was care
fully annotated, but most of the annota-
tons were in Russian, apparently re-
| ferring merely to the names OF the
parts. The word "gir." possibly for
gear, was used at several points.
Agents for the Department OF Justice
did not recognize the man. but will ex-
| anime him and the things found to-day.
| After his examination at Police Head
quarters Krevitz was returned to Brook
Ign for arraignment in the Adams
street court on charges OF felonious as
sault and carrying a gun without per-
nit
At the Bliss plant II was said that the
man was a highly expert machinist. but
that he was regarded as queer" He's
crazy" was the way most Of his fellow
workers alluded to him. He Is about 81
years old. says he was born in Moscow
and has been in this country twenty-five
years.
The Carnegie Hall meeting scheduled
