Mr.. Hough said:
"Suddenly 1 heard a most terrific
explosion The most terrific sound
ever heard in my life. My first
thought was that it was some one OF
the many noises one constantly hears
in New York and think nothing about
possibly building operations. In
second I realized that it must be much
different. Looking up I saw a great
cloud of dense black smoke floating
up out of Wall street. It was rapidly
turning to gray as it came. Someone
shouted that another explosion was
coming. I ran across Broadway as
rapidly as 1 could and into Trinity
church.

8 SERVICE
MEN ARE
KILLED
American Legion Takes
Action on the Matter
Chief Flynn Says
He is Sure Of Unrave1-
ing the Plot-Sleuths
Are Busy on Many
Clues.

The finding Of pieces of tin
cans and further evidence that
there was gasoline and kero-
sene used in connection with
the bomb explosion in Wall
street on Wednesday, have led
the Secret Service agents to
believe that the informal ma
chine used was not only a time
bomb, but that it contained
gasoline and kerosene for the
purpose of starting a confla-
grafton. The burns upon many
of the wounded add evidence to
further substantiate the grow
ing belief of the propers.,
Chief Flynn this morning
said, that the outrage was the
work Of the same gang of Reds
who terrified the country by
bomb explosions in June 1919.
He said that at the time of the
investigation into that series of
outrages, which consisted of
the blowing up of the homes of
several prominent men
throughout the country, the Sc
cret Service men had the whole
thing in their hands when Al
fredo Salesedo, the Red from
whom they We're getting the in
formation, jumped from the
fourteenth story of a New York
hotel, killing himself.
The Secret Service agents
today spent great deal OF the;:
time examining horse shoers in
order to identify the horse
which was killed and which it
is believed, drew the wagon
containing the Internal ma
chine.
The American Legion has
taken steps to appropriate
fund to run down the perpetra-
tors Of the outrage. Eight SER
vice men were among the VIC
Tins.
New York, Sept. 1s-Deducing his
conclusions from the discovery of the
warning circulars of the american
Anarchist Fighters Chief Flynn out
lined his theory today as follows:
1.-The plotters probably left the
wagon with the horse attached in
wall street, naVlnS set the IlIno de-
vice a few minutes ahead. They did
not want to take a chance on mail
ing the circulars, nor did they want
to throw them into the street. So
they just dropped them, without
postage of wrappers, in the nearby
mail box on their way from the
scene of the crime. Three minutes
later their bomb had exploded"
The system of guarding the finan-
cial district public buildings and the
homes of wealthy citizens who might
be marked by terrorists is being
steadily intensified. The whole Wall
street area swarms with Department
of Justice Agents, police and plain
clothes men.
Special surveillance also has been
arranged for the Standard Oil plant
at Bayonnc, N. J,
The American Legion, several of
whose members were among the VIC
Tins of Thursdays blast, is raising a
fund to aid the uthorities in tracing
down the perpetrators of the crime.
Fifty-eight victims of the explosion
were still in hospitals early today
Eight of these who were killed
served with the American Expedition
ary force in France.
