 The remains of the man killed was literally shredded over the block and driven into the asphalt pavement.
 "The only way I can reconstruct the incident" said Major Pullman. super intendent of the capital police, at the end of his preliminary investigation, lis on the theory that the explosive blew up just as it was being deposited in the doorway. It is possible, but unlikely that it was a passerby in- volved."
