Two Men in Plot Against Palmer.
Discussing the attempt to blow up
the home of Attorney General Palmer
the night of June 2, Chief Flynn said
ed that two men were directly i'm
plicated. One was the anarchist who
was blown to bits by his own bomb.
the other being man who directed
the anarchist to the r street home
and who, remaining at some distance
while the other man attempted to
place the bomb, was not hurt in the
accidental explosion that blew the
| other man into bits of tattered flesh
and bone.
The dead man, Chief Flynn said,
| lived in New York two weeks prior
to June 2. While his name had not
been learned Chief Flynn said. this
was immaterial. as the dead mans
associates were known and have been
| identified and located. The chief
| would not say that the June bomb
plot was OF foreign origin. Neither
| would he admit that the anarchists at
the head of the mail bomb plot of
May ] were directed in the work
from abroad. However. he would
/ not say that this was not the case.
| Importance attached to the disclos-
! ures was indicated by the mobiliza-
| ton of 5000 New York state guards
men last night. The guardsmen to-
| day were sent to important strategic
points in New York city. The mobili-
| cation. according to statement Of
| Brig. Gen. Dyer, is to be in the nature
of an emergency drill and is designed
to show how quickly the soldiers can
/ be assembled and rushed to points
| where they are needed.

with newspaper representatives the
Department of Justice last night
made public important parts of the
testimony of Attorney General Palmer

mittee in support of his request for
a special fund of $500. 900 with which
to carry on the anarchist hunt.
