ACCOMPANIED BY
BROTHER-IN-LAW.


BRoTHER-IN-LAW.
Fischer was accompanied TO Hamilton,
Ontario. from Niagara Falls by his
hrother-in-law, Robert Pope of New
York.
According to the police. Pope asked
the authorities there TO take Fischer
ia charge.
Fischer is being held for deportation,
the police announced.
He is said by the Canadian authori-
ties to be Of unsound mind, and conse-
quently, Ineligible TO enter the country
or remain in IL under the Canadian
emigration laws.
After. more than twenty four hours
the best detective brains OF America are
baffIed in their search for the terror
lists held responsible Tor the explosion.
The United States Secret Service joined
hands with the police and detectives from
the District Attorneys office in the
greatest manhunt the United States has
ever known.
The authorizes now agrs that the ex-
plosion was caused by a time bomb
which exploded a vast quantit yof INT
and possibly an auxiliary bomb OF picric
acid.
Experts reported to Chief Police In
spector William J. Lalley that the in
fernal machine must have contained from
200 to 800 pounds Of INT.
The heavy iron slugs. which spread
s.. 500 600 damage to property and wound
ed from 200 to 800 persons in addition
to those instantly killed, are believed to
have been fastened TO the outside of the
internal machine in q sort OF jacket
METAL FOUND
ON ROOF.
Some Of the metal was>picked up today
on the roof of the United States Sub
treasury Building, across Wall street
from J. P. Morgan & Co.
A grand jury investigation of the
J outrage was begun this afternoon. Judge
Wadhams issued special instructions TO
the September term grand Jurors to in
vestigate every phase of the disaster.
Il have established to my own salts
faction that a bomb arranged with mech
anism to explode at a fixed time caused
the explosion" said Chief William ].
Flynn Of the Secret Service. this after
noon.
1--WE have learned that man who an
swers the description of the driver of the
/ bomb wagon was seen four blocks from
the disaster at the time Of the blast"
This was the first revelation that the
Government authorities have a descrip-
tion Of the wagon driver.
1t dispelled a report that one OF the
unidentified dead men probably was the
driver of the explosives wagon.
NO LITERATURE
Is FOUND.
After thorough search Of the debris
the police and fremen announced that
no trace of any anarchisttc literature
had been found.
The two men who drove the one-horse
truck, carrying the most powerful in
fsrnal machine ever devised in this eoun-
try, disappeared in the Wall street
crowds as completely as though the earth
had opened and swallowed them.
Other important links have been forged
| in the chain of evidence to prove that
conspiratorS carefully planned the out
rage.
The police have learned that warnings
Of catastrophe in the financial district
were received by at least two persons.
One of these came to Lieutenant
Arnaud, chief of the French High Com
mission, on Wednesday.
The other was received by George F.
Ketchledge, an employe Of the brokerage
Broadway, also on Wednesday,
! While soldiers, with fixed bayonets
paced up and down in front of the United
States Sub-treasury Building throughout
the night, feverish search was made Of
the debris In and around the Morgan
offices for additional dead and bombs
! The original estimate of twenty four
dead was increased to thirty eight, and
1t was expected this total will be in
creased as some Of the injured are in
serious condition.
The property damage from the blast is
put at 81, 100000.
/ On the assumption that the Wall street
explosion was the beginning of wave
OF red terrorism, public officials have
been warned to employ bodyguards.
HOMES OF OFFICIALS
UNDER GUARD.
! Picked men from the police depart
ment are guarding the homes of public
ohiciaIs.
Wall and Broad street, the financial
capital Of the world" is like an armed
camp with soldiers, policemen and spe-
cial armed guards.

great banks in the Wall street district
are picketed.
