merchandise and to have it opened in
her husbands absence.
The machine was described by the
police as being composed of piece of
wood about six inches long. three inches
wide, and probably one inch thick. The
wood had been followed out to hold two
containers of acid. SO arranged that when
the wrapper was united one OF the con-
tanners held by a coil spring was released,
allowing the two acids to mix. A number
of metal slugs also were contained in the
package 1t was said. and these added to
the effect of the explosion.
The package bore a New York post
mark and had been mailed to Senator
Hardwick's former home at Sandersville,
Ga, from where 1t was forwarded to his
present address.
The former senator, local police and
federal authorities all expressed the be-

work of anarchists operating In New
York. Mr.. Hardwck could assign no
cause for the supposed attempt on his life.
