BOMBS HURLED AT
 TWO BOSTON HOMES
Police Judge and State Representative Singled Out for Destruction by
 COnSpiratOrs.

Boston, June 3-Early investiga- tons of the explosions last night at the home of Police Judge Albert F. Hayden in the Roxbury district and that of State Representative Leland Powers in Newtonville tended to con- firm the first opinion of the police that the outrages were part of a nation wide plot. Pamphlets entitled plain words were found scattered outsid e the Hayden house and also in the Wreckage. These were identical in language with those found at the home of Attorney General Palmer in Washington.
 State Chemist Walter Wedger today expressed the opinion that a fuse bomb was placed in the Hayden resi- dence rather than clock bomb The nature of the explosive used at the Powers residence was not so evident, but the police thought a stick of dy- namite was thrown there.
 No one was injured in either explo- sion.
 Except for a son all the mem bers of Judge Hayden's family were at their summer residence in Plymouth. The son was just returning to the Roxbury residence and was only a few hundred feet down the street when the explosion occurred.
 Judge Hayden expressed the opin- ion that the attack was made because of his attitude in the cases of nearly 100 May day rioters who recently ap- peared in his court and upon many of whom he imposed heavy sentences
 Theonly occasion could be ascribed for the attempt to blow up the Pow CTS home was the legislative activity of Representative Powers on the anti anarchy bill, recently adopted.

New York, June 3.-One man was killed and several men and women had a narrow escape from serious in jury early today when a bomb placed at basement entrance to the home of Judge Charles c. Mott of general sessions court exploded. The front part of the Mott residence was blown out and houses nearby on East 61st street were damaged. Judge Mott was not at home and Mrs. Mott was asleep on the second floor and was uninjured.
 Watchman Blown to Pieces.
 William Boehner a private watch man was blown to pieces, parts of his body being found half block from the scene of the explosion. He was identified by his two sons from par ticles of his clothing and ring of keys. For the last ten years Boehner has been employed as a Watchman for number of private dwellings, near Judge Notts home. The exact time of the explosion was learned when it was discovered that a large clock in the hallway had stopped at 12:55 a. m.
 The bomb, according to Inspector Owen Eagan of the bureau of com- bustibles, was most powerful. Experts differed as to whether the bomb was loaded with dynamite or trinitrotoluol
 Judge Nott Was Away.
 Judge Mott, with three daughters. was at his summer home near New London, Conn. With Mrs Mott in the house were the caretaker and his family. They suffered only from shock and minor injuries received when they were thrown from their beds.
 The homes of Richard Lydon, a lawyer, and Dr. John c. McKew, ad- joining the Mott residence, were badly damaged. All glass was broken and doors broken in by the concussion. No one in these houses was injured.
 Bits of Body Discovered.
 Directly across the street, army men, guests at an officers club, maintained by the War Camp Community Service, were awakened by windows crashing in. Portions of a body were found in the club. Officers who served overseas said the force of the explosion equal led anything they had heard in France during the war
 Immediately following the explosion and the receipt of news dispatches telling of similar outrages in other cities the police detailed strong forces to guard the homes of prominent men in New York.

Washington Police Identify Dead
 Man-ArreSts Are Expected
WELL GUARDED
Authorities Learn That Bomb-Placer Left Philadelphia Last Night-Was Apparently of Italian Birth or Parentage.

,Washin gton, June 3.-Washington police inspectors today believed they had identified as an anarchist of Philadelphia the man who was blown to pieces last night in an effort to kill Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer with bomb. They also expressed the belief that the nationwide plot against the lives of government off, cials and prominent business men had been laid in that city.
 Identity Kept Secret. The police would not reveal the identity of the man, but they felt cer- tain the facts they had gathered in their investigation since last midnight would lead to the apprehension of his associates, who, they believe also were responsible for the May Day plot in which many internal machines ad- dressed to government officials, m em- bers of congress and business men were placed in the mails.
 Game from Philadelphia
 A lood-stained conductors identi- fication check, found in front of MT Palmer's residence early today, showed that the anarchist arrived in Washington at 10:30 o'clock last night from Philadelphia. He went di- rectly from the Union station to the Palmer home and only a few minutes before the explosion he was seen alighting from a street car but a few blocks away by c. s. Briggs, of Marion, s. C.
 Was of Italian Birth.
 The anarchist apparently was of Italian birth or parentage. His scalp, found by the police at daylight, had upon it hair that was dark and curly. Included in the heap of tattered scorched fragments of clothing and articles belonging to the man was a much -thumbed Italian American die tionary, indicating it's owner knew little English.
 By a freak of the explosion, the mans hat remained intact. On the sweatband was inscribed the name of "De Lucas Bros, Hatters, 919 South Eighth street, Philadelphia
 Only One Man Killed.
 It was at first thought that two men had been killed, because parts of two legs were found where they had been blown. Later, however, the police es- abolished definitely only one man had been killed.
 Additional precautions were taken by the police today to safeguard pub lie men in Washington. Many hom es and public buildings were being guarded. At the capitol extra police were placed on duty.
 Dead Mans Head Found
 The head of the dead anarchist was found on the roof of a house more than a block away from the scene of the explosion and taken down by fire men who were searching for possible evidence.
