Analysis May Help
In Running Down Men
Who Mailed Bombs

Salt Lake City, May 3o.-Analy-
sis of the explosive contained in two
bombs received by the local postof
flee a few weeks ago addressed to
Sen. William H. King and Frank H.
Nebker, which was completed today
by powder expert, may prove of
value in running down and appre-
bending the bomb maker, according
to w. G. Haas, local postoffice in
spector.
The formula of the explosive has
been deciphered by the expert and
copies of this will be sent to Wash
ington, thence to the powder COM
panies throughout the United States.
Mr.. Haas said that it is probable
that the company from which the
explosive was purchased will rec
ognize the formula and may in this
manner be able to gain clue which
may lead to the arrest of the bomb
makers.
The explosive contained DO per
cent nitroglycerin and some sod
ium nitrate, besides many other
chemicals. Both bombs have been
opened and found to be identical in
regard to manufacture and quality
of explosive.
