months. Detectives of the bomb squad
say they found working drawings of
bombs there similar to those which
were sent through the mails in wooden
tubes, and alsosa drawing of a clock
work device.
They also discovered a box marked
potassium permanganate. This sub
stance, Inspector Eagan, of the Bureau
of Combustbles, said, may have been
used in the manufacture of explosives.

that, Krevitz bought his pistol at a
pawnshop in Jersey City. There also
was a box of cartridges, one Of which
had been used, and letter from some
fraternal organization, of which the
police had never heard.
