than 2UO were injured. the banking house
Of i F. Morgan and Company. the sub
treasury and the assay office were
partially wrecked and property damage
estimated in excess of 81 GO0.O60 was
caused by the blast.
Thomas w Lamont of the ]. p.
Morgan firm, expressed the belief. how
ever that the explosion was purely an
accident caused by collision between
all explosive laden wagon and another
vehicle The firm had received no
threats of any kind. he said. and there
was no real reason for the planting Of
bomb outside the firms office.
Bomb Proof
Evidence tending to confirm the
theory that the explosion was caused by
a bomb or some other Internal machine
came from several sources,
Chief Police Inspector Lahey reported
late in the day that he had found eyi-
dence 10 justify the conclusion that the
explosion was caused by q huge bomb
forced with iron slugs fashioned from
window weight bars Pieces Of these
slugs were found in several adjacent
structures. This type OF weight bars,
a dose inspection by police and depart
meut of justice agents disclosed, is not
used in any building within q radius of
several hundred feet from the scene of
the explosion.

investigation of the accident. stated that

that wagon containing bomb or bombs
was left in front Of the sub treasury
building with timing device so fixed as
to cause it to explode precisely at noon
No trace of the driver of the wagon has
been found he said. and added that in his
opinion the man escaped 81 few NOM
ents before the explosion occurred.
Buildings Show Bomb Effects
Fire Chief keulon aud officers from
the bureau of conbustibles also ex-
pressed the belief that the explosion WAS
caused by bomb after examining frag-
ments of metal found in the street in
front of the Morgan offices
DR. William f. Doyle chief of the
bureau Of eombustihles, pointed out that
the small hole found in the street near
the Morgan offices and the widely scat
tered sears on the facades of nearby
buildings also indicated that the blast
was caused by bomb rather than by an
